I ended up buying the B+W MRC instead.

Optically I don't notice any difference at all. They are both very, very good. I always leave them on, even for night shoots. The HD is a lot more sturdy and easy to clean however, so I prefer them. 500D | 11-16 2.8 | 17-55 2.8 IS | 35 1.4 L | 135 2.0 L | 200 2.8 L II
