All B+W's multicoated filters I've bought came in a small cardboard box with "Multicoated" clearly printed on the label. The filter itself will have "MC" clearly stenciled into the mount. Not all B+W's come multicoated, though--not sure if all of their color-correction and black-and-white filters have this option. (Though I suspect they do. I've just never checked--I buy Tiffen with a shrug if a B+W item isn't available.)

On the advice of the list (thanks Andrew especially) I got some B+W filters from a local reseller who hadn't stocked them since 5 years or so and gave me excellent discounts on 49mm and 55mm UV filters. When I got them home I noticed that the filters don't have the multi coloured reflections one expects with coating.

I checked the B+W site:

http://www.schneideroptics.com/filters/mc.htm

and they mention coating of their filters. I wonder if my filters are of a pre coating vintage? I wonder when they started coating their filters. Do other people who use B+W see coatings on them?

Thanks in advance
