they are multicoated, in general. Some of them are not, but this is
true for all brands. They are very well m
Any knowledge here about Contax filters? They seem to be quite cheap new, but
I amnot sure if they are multicoated or not.

Thanks, Bob. I ended up with a couple of B+Ws on the recommendation of a
sales guy at B&H.

My philosophy is to use CAPS for protection and
remove them when taking photos and replace them
when finished. A metal screw in CAP will give
better protection than a filter
Yes. Price.

Two surfaces out of perhaps 11 that are probably in your lens? Probably
not.
Not that can be observed without scientific insturmentation anyway

For those of you who like to keep UV filters on your lenses for
protection,
is there any differ
in terms of quality or effect/result.

For those of you who like to keep UV filters on your lenses for protection,
is there any difference between the Pentax SMC filters and, say, the B&W or
Hoya multi-coated filters?
Thanks,

How have you determined this? What makes on coating better
than another? In what way are the Pentax coatings better?

Shel,
Pentax apparently makes two grades of filters. The basic filter just
reads Pentax. The higher grade filter is a coated filter. The coating is
the same SMC coating found on Pentax's lenses. This higher grade filter is
labeled SMC Pentax.
The SMC filters are solidly built. Th
I have both the Pentax and B+W. The B+W are heavier.
The Pentax SMC coatings are better than the B+W
coatings. The only test I do is to inspect the back I
my hand through the filter. I will buy Pentax in
preference next time but for most UK dealers they are
a non stock item and have to be ordered

I routinely order SMC Pentax UV glass filters from B+H with each Pentax
lens I order. The SMC coating on the filter matches the SMC coating on
Pentax lenses. But the filters ARE expensive. (Even slightly more expensive
than B+W filters.) The 67mm filter I ordered with my 24mm f/2 lens
You might be able to save a few bucks over the B+W by buying a
Nikon L37C in the appropriate size. I think the Nikon filters
are as good as B+W. I'd buy Pentax filters if I knew anyone that
has them. The only Pentax filter I've seen where I live is a
polarizing filter.

Hello,
I'm in the market for a protective filter for my 24 f/2. In the past I
have always used Tiffen and Hoya. I have been told from several people that
B+W is best, and I don't know much about the Pentax ones. Does anyone know?
thanks,
