I don't know about the Leica filters, but my Heliopan and B&W filters  
(I had an extensive selection of various shades of red and also IR  
filters when I shot film, and still have some for my Bronica outfit)  
are both very durable and of high optical quality. I have a slight  
preference for Heliopan because they are slimmer.

Cheers,
Nathan
