newspaper, to check for softness etc.
for colour tint, use pure white paper or surface

need your comments here.

If I have to choose, I would go for the B+W UV (MRC). Did a test years ago and found that the B+W flare and ghost less due to better coating. Here're some examples:

from the ghosting, no filter would be best!

so far nobody compares the scratch resistance, dirt resistance and cleanability of the two filters? that is more impt for me.

since this is a Nikon sub forum and ALL my filters are NC filters, I can only speak for the NC filters.
- Scratch resistance : so far so good. have not seen or noticed any scratches and the coating is hardy.
- dirt resistance?! :dunno: any filter would have their fare share of attraction to dust particles. some filter cleaners claim to have resistance to them, but i only use the cleaners for stubbon stains and apply PURE alcohol to mop up any traces of them.
- cleanability : normally lens tissue would do the job. easy to remove fingerprints and unknowns. :bsmilie:

perhaps u can consider cokin filter system? but it's a bit leychey to switch the holder between lenses.

Thanks for sharing - Such tests help in the thread starter's decision other than popular opinions.

Precisely...

Even my $330 lens have $75 B+W filter. Later if I have Nikkor (+/-) $175 50mm f/1.8, I will put (+/-) $60 B+W filter on it.

there are always 2 camps for filters. not discounting the B+W filters, they are good too. each to their own preferrences and choices.
