So, just received new 7100 with 18-200 and 10-24 Nikon lenses from B&H. They were nice enough to include UV and Circular Polarizer filters made by " Luminesque", made with Schott glass and to transmit "98.2%" of light. Any reports on quality of these vs. those available from Hoya, Tiffen, or B+W? Thanks for advice.

I used Google, did some research, and found very little on Luminesque. A number of hits referred to getting these filters as a promotion item when purchasing a lens from B&H, usually Nikon lenses. I also saw some for sales on eBay, but not too much more, although my search was not exhaustive. I wonder if these filters under that name are a house brand for B&H.

If you decide you don't like them, or they don't do what you want doesn't sound like you're out anything if you take them off. Have fun with your new camera.
