You know what, photographer like Annie Leibovots use 81Bs most of the time (I met her and asked this so I know it first hand). And guess what, her stuff sells! Yes, she does use a Leica for portability but an RZ67 most of the time.

Just because they use the same glass doesn't mean they're equal. The way to grind them, polish them, the mounts the put them in, the cement they use on polarizers (and seals on certain polarizers) can make a difference in the final quality. None are better than no filters, though, for absolute image quality. Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.
