Thanks all =) I have a Hoya Pro 1 Digital Slim UV on my 18-250 which is a huge pain to clean on the road as it tends to smear. I usually put it in my eyeglass cleaning shaker at home for OK results or stop by an optician and have them run it through their ultrasonic cleaner; most do it as a courtesy. So obviously I don't want another one of those even though I like the idea of cross funding Pentax by buying Hoya. I heard good things about B+W and Heliopan, I didn't even know there were Pentax filters and I recall reading here that Rodenstock is relabeled Heliopan. I want to buy a good one because of IQ, but my priority is on ease of cleaning... dang, I should have said that right away. Recommendations anyone? Thanks in advance Ecke
