Tamarkin is astonishingly wonderful to deal with, something I have trumpeted, wild and wide and long, for years. These guys DO know what they are doing. (Besides, they sell at least one of my books, so who am I to quibble with them!) Leica now produces extremely few filters. For most purposes, their are only two choices, B+W (with a Schneider connexion) or Heliopan (with a slight Zeiss connexion). Even Zeiss now makes an extremely limited filter range, and recommends Heliopan for most purposes. And then there's my love, Harrison & Harrison, the last American-made filter now that Tiffen has rathter dishonestly shifted production to Japan.
