So I'm about to pick up an HMC40 and would like some of your input on filters. Plans are to eventually get some sort of filter holding matte box solution, but until then I'll rock some 43mm screw ons.
Now my questions are as follows. I've always come to the conclusion that Tifen makes decent filters, especially their standard UV filter, however, for something like a polarizer should I step it up a notch and grab a B+W?
Then the next question stems from that one, do you recommend a circular polarizer, or a linear? I'll be doing a lot of outdoor automotive shooting and need to remove glare from glas and wheels as much as possible, so I'd be willing to rock something a little nicer if anyone has a specific filter they've had a lot of luck with.
Finally, so things like the Schneider Black/White frosts make that much of a difference? The "sample" images on B&H are pretty terrible.
Thanks
Paul
