How would you rate it against the Hoya Pro1? Thanks

In this case I think the Hoya Pro1 wins because of the better multi-coating, but the quality of the materials (glass and ring material) goes to the B+W. In the end it's a toss-up.

The Pro 1 Digital has the same coating as the SHMC. The Pro 1 Digital 'advantage' (technical reason) is that it has edge treatement on the filter edges and other things that make the filter even less susceptible to reflections off various surfaces 'that can effect digital' (marketing hype...show me the proof!)

He was talking about the F-PRO, which I don't think has the MRC coatings...

As for the "edge treatment" I don't know... Take the glass out and run a Sharpie along the edge then reassemble. :D

I dunno what an F Pro even is. A visit to Hoya's actual website does not reveal UV filter of that designation at all!

It's a B+W that has that. He's comparing that to the Hoya. ;)
