and found the pricing variables. The ads that B&H has in the magazines are different than the ones on the website. Two different "grades" of HOYA filters are listed at the same price! I'm sure B&H won't give up the top grade HOYA for $45, even though the magazine ad lists this price. The website lists it at $84 -- almost double! Of course, the website is probably right, due to the fact that the top B+W filter is within $1 or $2 of the HOYA. I agree that the best filter that I can afford is what I should get. After all, some shots only happen once. You don't want to chance that lifetime shot with a filter that you saved $3 on that's nowhere near as good as the one you should have purchased! My question is this: would the UV or the Skylight be the better filter to leave on all the time (morning, day and early evening)? I don't want to have to change filters for different light circumstances (yes, I'm both lazy and wary of damaging the threads and/or the lens). Does the Skylight add a bit of "warmth" due to its slight pinkish color? If the UV filters nearly all of the UV light that the film sees, would that make the picture a bit unnatural? I'm just trying to make the best decision for my picture taking needs (mostly outside, but from morning, throughout the day to early evening!). Thank you for responding to my question.
