In the latter case, who really makes them? I always put Leica filters on my Leica lenses because I assume that they'd only sell filters that have an absolutely minimal effect on image quality. Is there any reason why this assumption would be unwise? On my Nikons, I use B+W filters, but I assumed (incorrectly?) that Leica filters would be better still for the Leica glass. (I don't know if Nikon filters are any good, and they cost a fortune, so I've never invested in them.)
