Too GOOD to be TRUE?

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.

SVP, From China where else. I agree 100% All my filters are Marumi. I do need a cpl 52mm and 67mm. I have purchased from Uniquephoto, their prices are great, plus free shipping and get this, they don't charge tax.

The Marumu DHG "Supers" have a harder, water, debris repellent outer coating that makes them much easier to clean. However, the DHG non-Super versions are also excellent quality filters. I have a mix of the Marumi's, and the newer B+W "Master" series filters. Luckily, the sizes that you are seeking are not too expensive. I believe I may have an extra 52mm Marumi DHG Super. If so, it's yours.

I also just came into possession of a Hoya NXT Plus polarizer. I have not used it, but upon a visual inspection, it looks like it may be of high quality too.

I don't know that B&W is the same as B+W! Might not be.
The actual brand name is B+W. Whoever called it B&W was in error.

That is correct.

eBay stands buy their sales. If you ask the seller if it is a genuine filter, and he says that it is, and it turns it that it isn't, eBay will make the seller take it back and refund your money.

SVP,
Any chance you can across the 52mm super cpl from Marumi? I'll take it, let me know what you need for shipping. Thanks.
