Hello Miha,
I am a critical user of Leica equipment for over almost 40 years now,
and it is really my experience that Leica-filters are more durable then
B&W-filters (a Schneider-company). They are more scratch-resistant.
I also realize there are not very much makers of optical glass:
Schott, Hoya and maybe Heliopan as well.
Maybe Leica makes still its own filters, who knows?!
Regards
Fred
