I had one on my 180 Elmarit some >years ago (I don't use any filter on it now) and it was great. I think this question was raised last year, but who actually makes the Leica filters? Is it Leica itself or Heliopan or B+W? Is there any practical or optical difference between Leica and B+W (Schneider) filters? Are those filters single or multicoated, and is there any noticeable difference between the two versions if available? BTW: I have never seen Heliopan branded filters in Belgium. The most commonly available filters over here are single coated B+W filters. Many dealers do not even know that there are multicoated B+W filters. Thanks.
