I got last month some mc B+W filters from somebody and they took some real cleaning up and they still could be cleaner. B+W could be having some trouble with their new anti scratch coating. So maybe it was B+W not B&H which was the culprit. Markwr <<<<< Mark, I've had the same problem with filters, esp. B+W, but I suspect it's due to the foam padding in the little box outgassing or something. It's possibly due to storage in some conditions? I had one polariser which was totally unusable out of the box, the first one to wake me up to this problem. It was totally fogged. Since then I just clean them when I first open the box and have found that quite a few have the problem. They clean up fine. I don't use filters very much, except skylights for protection, but if I've seen the problem with the few I buy (3 or 4 a year max), it must be quite common. Rob.
