I've started throwing away all my old filters and replacing them with B+W
MRC filters. Why spend a fortune on lenses and then put crappy, cleaned
with a tie filters (of which I have many) on the lenses. The filters are
also of much higher build-quality than most others save Heliopan or maybe
Hoya MC. $27.50 from B&H for most sizes.
Also, the use of lens shades helps much more than you realize.

Subject: [OM] Filters; MC vs. no coating?
I have been using the Tiffen UV filters for a while, and they were ok,
great because they can be cleaned with a t-shirt, but after playing
around with them, I saw how much flare they caused when shown under
bright light, and so I bought another filter today;
A konica filter (I didn't know konica made filters) but the quality
seemed decent, and it has multi-coating on it.
I just wanted to know (before test shots) will I notice a big difference
between MC vs. no coating? Are there articles that I can read about as
far as MC vs. non-coated filters and their effects?
Thanks.
Albert
