How have you determined this? What makes on coating better
than another? In what way are the Pentax coatings better?

Shel,
Pentax apparently makes two grades of filters. The basic filter just
reads Pentax. The higher grade filter is a coated filter. The coating is
the same SMC coating found on Pentax's lenses. This higher grade filter is
labeled SMC Pentax.
The SMC filters are solidly built. Th
I have both the Pentax and B+W. The B+W are heavier.
The Pentax SMC coatings are better than the B+W
coatings. The only test I do is to inspect the back I
my hand through the filter. I will buy Pentax in
preference next time but for most UK dealers they are
a non stock item and have to be ordered

I routinely order SMC Pentax UV glass filters from B+H with each Pentax
lens I order. The SMC coating on the filter matches the SMC coating on
Pentax lenses. But the filters ARE expensive. (Even slightly more expensive
than B+W filters.) The 67mm filter I ordered with my 24mm f/2 lens
You might be able to save a few bucks over the B+W by buying a
Nikon L37C in the appropriate size. I think the Nikon filters
are as good as B+W. I'd buy Pentax filters if I knew anyone that
has them. The only Pentax filter I've seen where I live is a
polarizing filter.
