I never had a Hoya fall apart but in the polarizers they didn't seem to filter out the uv very well. I switched to Nikon and Canon Polarizers and the polarization effect is dramatically stronger. I was told that it is because of the uv issue.
I have been lucky and have not had that problem yet. Now that B+W makes the Kaesemann thin nano-coated polarizers with the front threads I would not need to buy Hoyas. At the time the Hoyas were the only good thin polarizers with front threads. The B+W thin polarizing filters had that stupid cap that always fell off.

Yes, maxsaver is legit. I bought all of my B+W Kaesemann polarizers from them and have never had any problems. Depending on where you are, if you can tolerate the shipping time the savings are worth the wait.

I had a low-end Hoya Circ-Pol explode while removing it from my camera. I now have the B&W Kasemann.....what a great filter!
