Did you say that Leica filters are made by B+W?

I don't have solid, documented evidence that B+W are superior

Believe so but it's a bit more complicated - B+W is a Schneider company and there is or was some incestuous interrelated shareholding between them and Schott and Zeiss and Leica as I understand, mostly to guarantee stable supplies of rare glass. Anywhat, I always thort that Leica and Contax filters were simply rebadged B+W and certainly had Schott glass in them.
But then, I have been known to be wrong.....August 1973, I think it was....
