Hi

I’m shopping for UV IR filters and while I default to B+W filters, I found this brand on both Amazon and B&H:

ICE 43mm UV IR Cut Filter Optical Glass Multi-Coated MC 43 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H8RS87P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NkYjDb7DQN1S9

I need a couple of these as I’ve bought a couple of 43mm lenses and I can no longer share my lone 46mm UVIR across 3 lenses.

If you’ve had experience with this brand, please share your experience. I’d appreciate it greatly.

I bought two of these filters on Amazon and recently tried them out with ZM lenses. The render black fabric black and I think it does the job. The body is thinner and lighter than the B+W (I have a UV and ND) and the glass is securely in place without being loose (I have had other filters like Hoya where the glass on the filter isn't snugly attached to the rim).

Overall I think B+W is better made and it feels that way in the hand too. However the ICE filter does the job of accurately rendering black fabrics and that's what I bought it for. The biggest annoyance is that the text on the rim uses the Comics Sans
