Me again... answering my own question... I also posted question to B&W earlier today and here's their reply... "Based on the text, they are not. You must ask if MRC is an option at time of purchase, as many B+W filters are offered single coated, MRC, and in some cases, un-coated." The "based on the text" bit refers to my email to B&W. In other words I've been paying LOTS for uncoated glass, maybe I should use Hoya next time instead of B&W when I need more filters.
