Definitely not aluminum, brass maybe. I have found the coating of SMC filters is a bit difficult to clean (but better than HOYA HMC). Somehow the SMC lenses seem to have more duriable coating than SMC filters. However, SMC filters are flare free while HOYA HMC filters aren't. regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
