Sure enough, the link below shows that it is available in either Linear or Circular. One dealer that I talked with said a circular Kasemann was special order only. Maybe that is why we see so little mention of it. http://www.schneideroptics..com/filters/list/6/polar2.html At 11:07 AM 7/2/01 -0500, Tom.Henson@bakerbotts.com wrote: >Thank you Jim for your help. > >I did go to the Schneider web site who is the distributor for B&W filters in >the US, and they actually list a Kasemann in both Linear and Circular, >showing two different part numbers.

Thanks, I didn't realize that Kaesemann wer5e available in circular design as well. Kaesemann filters are the best available in both durability and flatness. B+W claims that their Kaesemann filters are guaranteed optically flat and worthy of use on tele lenses where optical flatness and parallel optical surfaces are of utmost importance. Jim
