Filters: Zeiss vs Hoya vs B+W

[Rurouni]

I use B&W primarily, the entry range for kit lenses, and the XSpro MRC Nano for my primes, but any good brand will do. The filters with low profile threads tend to be a little bit more fragile though.

Hey,

It's really hard to find side by side comparisons and reviews online.

Would be nice to have bros who have experience with the different filters share their opninions.

thanks

My 2cents.

My Zeiss filter has one of the best black paint work. But for ease of cleaning, nothing beats my B+W nano MRC.

All in all, I sold my Zeiss to close friends and kept all my B+W nano mrc filters. Cheaper price than Zeiss, but better quality.

Hoya HD is also a good filter. 1st choice for me usually....
