[QUOTE="hark, post: 698715, member: 13196"] Just another update on the Hoya HD filters. After I received both of these back from Hoya, I left the one that was repaired in its box and have been using the B+W 77mm XS-Pro Kaesemann High Transmission filter linked above on my 24-120mm f/4. The identical Hoya HD filter that wasn't repaired was put back on my 300mm f/4 lens. It is so very close to breaking that I will have to find a replacement for it. The part that rotates is SO loose it's only a matter of time before it snaps apart. There is a noticeable difference in colors rendered between the Hoya and the B+W. I greatly prefer the Hoya's colors, but the B+W colors can be tweaked in post. The B+W also screws onto the front of my lens with more rotations than the Hoya - the threads are definitely different between these two filters. So the B+W is more secure in that respect when mounted on the front of a lens. The Hoya only takes about 1/2 turn to be fully mounted. In fact, the Hoya fell off my 300mm f/4 this week. :grief: At least I saw it lying in the grass - fortunately no damage to it. So I need to go through my bags and find a different 77mm CP filter or order another of this particular B+W CP filter for my 300mm lens. I like that there is only 1 to 1.5 stops light loss withe the B+W. My older CP filters are darker causing more light loss. [/QUOTE]
