The problem is that established manufacturers have different grades - last time
I looked, Hoya had as many as seven different grades ranging from 'as expensive
as B+W with seven layers of coating' down to budget price. So a brand name
alone is a poor guide. In my local store, a Marumi 'Pro-Digital' filter is
around half the price of an equivalent B+W.
