Rodenstock vs Hoya Polarizers

Can anybody with actual experience with both of these filters comment (compare?) on them, concerning their quality, performance, longevity etc.

I have a Rodenstock C-Pol for my DigitCam and like the way it works. It is high quality coated glass, mounted on brass rings and has good German built quality. What I don't like, however, is that I can't use the lens cap on it, because it doen't have front threads for the cap to hang on to. So, if the Hoya is "just as good", and has the front threads, I would go for it.

Thanks.

Your polarizer is a 'slim' one. Rodenstock should have a C-pol with
filter threads, just look for the regular polariser.

If you want a thin polarizor it will not have front threads in Hoya either.

Or Heliopan or B+W, the other quality options.

Most c-pols don't have threads or bayonnet for cap/hood.

I've have/had Optex and Hoya C-Pols. I was always able to put the cap on
top of them.
