How do they compare to the B+W filters?
I did end of buying a few and like the results but on my L's I'm thinking I should be using the $112 B+W instead.

You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

But to compare it to a B&W is not even close. B&W are German Optics and Quantaray is whatever Optic.

How can one put the words Pro and Quantaray together in the same line. It's a very rare occasion I find the word Pro written on professional equipment, I think it's mostly a term used by low-end products as a sales ploy for consumers who don't know eg: "oh it must be of good quality because it says Pro on it". It may denote a higher standard in a low-end product than the basic options. Cheers Wayne
