Hi all: I've used several brands of filters. I think the lower version of B+W is single coated instead of uncoated. It's pretty good and the coating is pretty tough. Hoya HMC and HMC super are good but is difficult to clean (I have read a few reports on this and the HMC super filter). Helopan

Ken, I've been a D60 user since soon after the introduction of the camera. Overall, I am very pleased with it, and will only replace it with something of the caliber of a 1Ds, which is NOT financially feaseable now. I will say I went through a learning curve with my D60, but can now get VERY good
