The packaging in which B+W filters are delivered outgasses or something: it
leaves a foggy residue on the filters. Most annoying. I bought a hugely
expensive warm tone Kaesemann Polariser but the case it comes in is unusable
for this reason as are the other cases (except for some really old ones I
have which seem okay). The residue it forms is immediately obvious on th
edarker filter such as polarisers but is also evident on other filters MC or
not. The filter also had a slight chip on the rear surface edge. This is as
it was delivered to me on a special order via the importer direct from the
factory...
I had waited for over three months for it or I would have asked for
another...
