Sorry ... all my SMC filters are First Class.

Hi;
B&H lists a more expensive Pentax 49mm UV filter for the 43&77 lenses,
anyone know the
difference between that filter and the standard pentax 49 mm UV filter.

Hey Shel,
The non SMC Pentax UV is a nice filter, but you`re right, when the SMC is
on the lens you can`t tell, because the coatings are so nice. It says "Class
II"
on the box, does your SMC`s say that (Class II) too? I going to eventually
get them
for all my lenses too.

Hi Bob,
I think you are right about the resolving power, it is a good piece of
glass.
The plane was on final approach for landing. I took some panned shots also
of planes taking off, and they were pretty crisp too, but not with the
wooden
tripod, I`ll try the wooden one on the next outing.

I just ordered my 24-90mm here in the UK! For £380.00 inc. VAT, that is
about $543.50.
B&H is $499.95, if you buy local you need to ad 6% I assume, so that would
be $530
If I mail order it, I have the shipping cost and the import duty, so that
would be even worse.
Now I have to wait about ten days
