Because aluminum is soft, it tends to 'sieze'. So if you accidently over-thighten an aluminum threaded filter, it might be difficult to remove. This effect can be minimized by anodizing. In that process a black colorant is generally incorporated.

When buying filters, especially one which you might use often, it's best to get the best quality you can afford. I would suggest B&W for filters -- almost all of mine bear this brand. Why buy an expensive camera, an expensive lens, and put toilet paper in front of it. Tiffen is by no means the worst brand but B&W is way way better! YMMV.

I own some Tiffin's that I have been using for many years with no problems but I've had the best experiences with B+W filters they have been very consistent in their quality. One of the biggest things about B+W that I like is that the rings are made of brass and their glass is top quality, they are an excellent product for the price. I have a couple of high end Hoya's and they have been very good but Hoya makes less expensive filters that are not as good. Just be sure you know the specs on the filter you are purchasing as they are all a little different. I own a range of filters but the fall into three categories; UV, CPL and ND.

Hoya's new filters that don't get smudged--can't remember the model number--sounds like a good thing.
I prefer the mid-high level Hoyas. Not as pricey as B+W and the other premium filters.

Nowhere near as good either. B&W uses Schott glass! YMMV.

Thank you all ... leaning towards B+W. The Xume adapters look very interesting


Xume adapters work well. Keep in mind that they may not hold on, especially the larger 77mm ones. I lost one. Expensive lesson.The good thing is that you can put in in your pocket, or bag until you want to use it.
