Yeah SVP, I think your absolutely correct. They must be counterfeit. I was hoping he or she bought out a photo store and was selling at incredible discounted prices. Wrong. I messaged the seller two days ago asking if he or she would guarantee authenticity if I brought it to my local camera store and had them appraise the filter. Needless to say, as of now, I have not heard from them.
So the old adage "If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is". Proves correct again.
Where is it coming from? The counterfeit's are made with un-coated or single coated glass, and have the inferior aluminum housings. When I get a chance, I will dig up the correspondence between myself and the B+W rep's. You do not want this filter. However, if you come across a Marumi DHG or DHG Super filter, they are of very high quality, and cheaper than B+W filters.
