I am hoping I don't see a difference B+W and H&H either. I've got series VI
adaptors for three of my cameras and it would be nice to use these
inexpensive filters on all of them. I think we get carried away by "rivet
counting" and lose sight of what the results are because of and in spite of
the equipment.

I doubt that text will have any effect on the image, you could probably tell
if you had a ground glass to put on the back of the camera.
Great looking rig, by the way.
