Please help, I have two 67mm UV filters (Pro1 Digital and HMC SUPER) and I am letting one goes with one of the lens that I am planning to sale, please advice me which one is the keeper. Thanks for your help in advance.

Keep the S-HMC because it transmits 99.7% of the light, whereas the Pro Digital transmits only 97% of the light (the rest comes back as contrast loss and flare). Yet another example of when 'digital' label applied by the Marketing department was NOT an improvement for the consumer!!!

Unfortunately, they confuse the issue for readers by including the effectivity of UV filtration...and yet dSLRs don't need effective UV filtration because the body has its own in front of the sensor! So issues like % transmission get minimized in the overall rankings by Lenstop.com
