I am not too sure which one are you talking about. Is it for the digital camera you are talking about?

Here is the link: http://www.hoyafilter.com/products/hoya/pro1d-09.html

For me, I am using the ordinary close up filter for conventional camera on my digital camera.

From what I know, the digital filter is more expensive than the conventional one. But to be safe, its best to get from the shops usually recommended by CSer here.

Sim Lim Sq shops are well-known for their expensive accessories. So its better to check out with other shops.

How would one know if its multi coat?any signs to look out for if not one could sell normal lens but say its a multi-coat and charge few times higher.
