from B&H - N.Y.C Summary: The most beautiful pieces of glass I have ever seen. And they are solid as a rock. I have four ND filters, and a ND.6 (soft) Grad, and they are the most cherished filters in my entire collection. Gotta hand it to B+W in Germany; they (in my opinion) make the finest filters in the world. And you will pay a lot for them. When I can afford it, I buy B+W. All other times (which is mostly) I buy Tiffen. They make terriffic filters too! Strengths: -Quality of glass (German - Schott) is absolutely heavenly.
-Outer ring (solid brass, painted black) solid as a rock. Apparantly solid brass rings do not "jam" nearly as much as some light-weight aluminum ones(?). Weaknesses: -Price. You will pay up to 2 to 3 times as much for them mostly. But boy, are they worth it.
-Special "no-groove" outside retaining rings. Prevents one from doing basic filter repairs with a spanner wrench.
-Weight. Solid brass = heavy. Similar Products Used: Many Tiffen and B+W filters. Customer Service: N/A
