A little about the glass itself and the coatings Sunpak made in Japan, by a major filter manufacturer, We are very happy to offer the Sunpak DHG series for the value and quality in their products. The polarizers are very equal to most of the other national brands. The enhancing series of filters are priced, very competitively with the other similar brands. The Sunpak graduals come in large sizes at a good value Tiffen UVP (Uv-Protectors) are solid glass filters, with no optical coatings. All other Tiffen filters Uv-1's and skylights are laminated (2 pieces of glass, with the laminate carrying the color or effects) and no coatings. For more Tiffen Information B+W filters
are solid
Schott Glass, water type, crystal clear. No B+W filter has ever been
made
with green glass. and they never will, I hope. Quality should always
have
its standards and the word quality should be more than just a word on a
box. Most of all B+W filters have mono coatings on both sides (in some
places called double coatings, the double = one on each side)
