<LOL> Why confuse the issue with such things, Rob ... For example, SMC Pentax filters are great, but they don't come in as wide a range of colors for contrast work as B+W, whose MRC filters are also great, and which come in a greater variety of sizes. OTOH, Heliopan makes excellent filters, and if you want a thin filter that is threaded on the front, they may be the only choice in some instances. The high end Hoyas are fine, but a bit pricey compared to some other equal quality or better brands (better in construction). And that's just the tip of the filter iceberg.
