KEEP UV Filter - How is quality?

[mart65]

Harvey Norman stores is selling this KEEP brand UV filter. How is this filter for quality? Can't find any info on its reputation on the web. Not cheap, selling around $72 for 72mm UV filter.

Cheap?! Rip-off is more like it. Even the Hoya HMC 72mm is cheaper.

Bought one 58mm Keep UV filter frm Msia @ RM45 last dec. The quality of the metal frame(not sure wat u call tat) holding the filter is POOR. The filter kinda attracts more dust/stains than my Hoya ones.

tokina, hoya and kenko are all supposed to be the same filter marketed as separate brands. of course then, you've got the different categories such as normal, HMC, SHMC.
