so many points ler, what no point pulak
marketing, brand positioning, market differentiation, material/ assembly cost, etc. like heliopan, it's made in germany, that's one of the major reasons why its so expensive. tiffen, it's for shop owners who want to bundle it with cameras as an added volume since it's cheap. |

no. because the coating is mixed with the silica mix upon creation of the glass. use alcohol if you want.
if the coating wears off, it means that the filter is cheap, coating was just painted on top |
