hi people
need a seconf polarizer, got the hoya CPL filter ultra thin version, it's been good but the only problem is it's filter thread cannot accept the nikon lens cap, instead it came with a rubber cap designed to fit the low profile of the cpl filter, this rubber cap is useless for a covering as it marks the cpl filter sometimes when the camera is stored in my bag.

so i am investigatign B+W white brand filters
these are not as thin so i may get some vignetting but at least it has the standard filter thread to accommodate my nikon lens cap

Just wonderign if any one knows which optics are beter Hoya or German made B+W filters
B+W seem more expensive

i already have a B+W filter a neutral density ndx64 it is built well, optics look clean compared the hoya optics which at closer inspection have lots of fabrication issues, patches dark spots etc.
