Why not get the Leitz one?  You probably paid over $1500 for the lens,
the filter is only 10% more.

By the way, on an somewhat related thread about the value of the UV
filter, I recently put a very very expensive lens face down on a rock
while changing lenses, without realizing that I didn't have the lens
cap on.  The UV filter was undamaged, but my "almost coronary"
took 5 years off my life (in fact, 5 years is how much longer
I have in the loan payments for that lens.).
