Does anyone know what the weight of the leg image filter is?
Just bought two "B+W" polarizing filters on eBay. Seller sent me 2 UV, alloy rimmed counterfeit filters.
So, yes, I am returning them. But here's your chance to own a genuine counterfeit B+W filter...just contact me and maybe we can work something out before they go back.
I have a nice digital scale, so I weighed several of my B+W filters.
XS-Pro Clear MRC-nano 82mm weighed in at 38 grams
XS-Pro Clear MRC-nano 77mm weighed in at 35 grams (I have two and both weighed the same)
Counterfeit 77mm XS-Pro UV MRC-nano weighed in 29 grams
Counterfeit 67mm XS-Pro UV MRC-nano weighed in 14 grams
I also noticed that the counterfeits have quite the green tint to them. My other...I assume...real filters have barely any tint, but they are the clear version and not the UV haze.
