I have predominantly B+W, Heliopan, Contax and Hoya, with a couple of Leitz ones. The differences in use I've noticed are: - - Hoyas fall apart - - the B+W PL rings are smoother to turn than the Hoyas, which are horrible - - the Contax filters can work a little loose on the lens (CZ lenses for 35mm) - - the Hoyas can jam solid on the lens I haven't used the Heliopans very much, but so far they seem to be on a par with the B+Ws. I can't think of any other use factors so I'm interested to hear from you. Incidentally, on the Schneider website B+W FAQ they recommend that if you want to clean your single-coated filters you should send them to a technician!
