Filters Canon v B & W v Hoya
Not trying to start a bun fight here but I am buying a few UV filters for new lens. I was going with Canon UV-1 filters but a couple of suppliers suggested (didn't stock Canon) B&W or Hoya at widely varying prices.
Are the canon filters any good?
What are the benefits of the (3 times the price) B&W filters.
Thanks in advance

That being said, I only would use Circular Polarizers and Neutral Density filters.
UV only when you are in a situation and there is blowing sand, water, or such. Use the lens hood to protect your lens.

I don't know much myself about Canon filters (the one Canon optical device that I own is a 77mm Canon 500Dclose-up lens . And it is quite a hunk of glass

Looks like the wallet will take another hit
COmbination of hood protection / polarizer / good UV filter changed to suit the shooting conditions seems to be the way I will go.
