I would like to point out that as far as the 49mm UV and Skylight filters
are concerned, the B&H prices for Minolta and Oly filters are identical at
$19.95. The Oly filter is also very thin. The height of its rim is 3mm.
When one compares the 55mm filters between Minolta and Olympus, the Minolta
is cheaper by $3.00, not enough to justify getting a Minolta filter for your
Oly lenses. Unfortunately Olympus prices its circular polarizing filters
very high relative to the UV and skylight. The difference in price between
the two brands becomes significant.
