This has been going on for years, and Hoya is not the only brand
affected. We have been offered several brands other than Hoya, more
than one of which is 'high end'.


Avoid Hoya at all costs.

nonsense. hoya makes excellent filters (assuming they're not fakes).
the only thing to avoid is the cheap uncoated hoya filters. hoya hmc
and particularly shmc filters are very good. b+w is another good choice
too.

One thing I did notice was the lack of Hoya filters in the decent camera
shops Stanley Street and Nathan Rd. Ended up with Fuji UV filters 77mm
at $22 each.
