[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]To whom ever originally posted the question regarding Heliopan filters: I have three filters that I use with my M6: Leica UV, B+W Light Red, and a Heliopan circular polarizer (all size E39). They all appear to be fine filters. Which one is the better brand? Who knows? I was always under the impression that these three brands represent the best quality in filters (save Zeiss). For all I know, they could come out of the same factory! I've got to believe there is some cross-over with certain filters. I'm sure each company doesn't manufacture each and every filter themselves. If your dealer gave you a heliopan filter, relax, its a decent filter (expensive too)!! Best, Arturo
