Does anyone know which filter is better? Sony 蔡司 UV filter make in Germany or Japan?

[Andy Leung]

Sony-Zeiss UV filters are Made in Japan and which is better than Heliopan, because Sony-Zeiss filters used famous T* coated and this is the first time used on filters.

I already used Sony-Zeiss filter & compare with Heliopan(from my friend),
the reflected of lights on surface is much better.

Andy hing,

Did you compare Heliopan single coat or SH-PMC UV filter. How much would Sony-Zeiss 77mm UV filters cost?

Thanks in advance,

Eric

I had compare with SONY-Zeiss, Heliopan, B+W(MRC) under the bulbs
or lights, on the SONY-Zeiss UV surface, the bulbs seems disappeared.

The price of 77mm around $550, and the cheapest place to buy at

Andy hing,

Thanks for your reply. I've compared Heliopan single coated UV with Kenko Pro1D UV, Kenko Pro1D give much less reflection than Heliopan but the final output seem a bit diff as Heliopan give much solid picture & better contrast than Kenko Pro1D. Heliopan & B+W use the same glass from German and I just wonder if SONY-Zeiss use the same glass from German or from Japan?!

SONY-Zeiss definitely win on coating followed by Heliopan>B+W. Still hard to decide rather I should buy Heliopan or SONY-Zeiss as both coating & glass would make a difference.

Regards,

Eric

Eric hing,

I am not sure the SONY-Zeiss glass from German or Japan, but since
this is the first time for T* on filters, it is definitely win to other filters,
I hope that Eric hing will try and give us your report.
