[QUOTE="hark, post: 531018, member: 13196"] In the past I've mentioned using a Sigma 82mm CP filter where the coating flaked off in small spots. Although Sigma replaced it, the coating flaked on the second one, too. None of my other CP filters have ever experienced this problem and most are even older than the Sigma CP filter. :( Eventually I replaced the Sigma 82mm CP filter with one made by Hoya. I always try to go with [I]slim profile[/I] filters especially since this was for my Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. The Hoya filter is great except for one small annoying problem...it lacks the ability to hold a lens cap because there aren't any threads on the front. So...I just ordered a different Hoya [I]slim profile[/I] 82mm multi-coated CP filter at an EXCELLENT price of $68.42. Plus is has the front threads to hold a lens cap. ;) If you own the latest Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 [B]with VR[/B], or the latest Tamron or Sigma version, they all take 82mm filters so this will fit. The link states there are a limited number available.

And it also has threads to hold the lens cap.
