Generally, Heliopan and B+W are considered the best.
Except that Gary R. tested some B+W's and found some defective samples.
Hoyas performed a little more consistently, so I've stuck with Hoya as a
result.
Maybe Gary will comment, but what I gleaned from his posts about filters is
that buying them is a pig in a poke.
On the other hand, when I tested all my UV filters on film, I couldn't see a
difference with the amount of magnification I typically use to examine
slides or even the difference between using a filter or not using one.
These included Vivitar SMC(?), Oly's, B+W, Tiffens, and no-names.
My compromise with confusion is just to buy Hoyas and not use them more than
necessary.
