Optically they are indeed excellent, I'm sure quite the equal of the ones that carry the Leica brand name. The only problem I've had with them has been mechanical: they have quite a hefty metal outer ring, at least a couple mm higher than that of the equivalent Leica filter. That can interfere somewhat with the seating of the lens cap, particularly if it's a press-on type like with the 35mm Summicron. I lost one in Hong Kong like that. Fortunately HK has lots of Leica equipment on sale and a I found a replacement immediately. At the same time, I bought a proper Leica filter and haven't had a problem since.
