EDIT: The Hoya S-HMC they tested has an MSRP of $60 USD in 58mm and is Hoyas best UV filter. The cheap Hoyas will perform much worse.
My experience with Hoya multicoated filters has been that smudges are harder to clean off vs. the B+W MRC, but to each his own. The B+W are certainly more expensive.

Both companies offer expensive and not so expensive filters. I bought a Hoya Ultra-Thin CPL at B&H that costs around $168.00, and it wasn't an expensive one.

I might get this and return my other Costco deal, depends on if I want the Canon Bag in the original deal, it's kinda BIG for my needs.

There are new camera/lens rebates (pdf link):

In addition to the existing lens and speedlite rebates (pdf link):

That's a pretty good deal assuming those are the two lenses you want.
