The feedback was near-perfect good with nothing there to suggest they might be selling dodgy filters. Problem is, mine doesn't look like either of those. :thinking:

Yes, they were bought from a reseller, and I was aware of that beforehand. I'd much rather have bought from Amazon for that reason (I doubt Amazon would ever sell fakes!) but the closest match available from them still had a 1-to-2 month lead time. To be honest, it wouldn't be fair of me...

Thanks for pointing that out. To be honest, I think I had half wondered this at some stage, but as it was bought for protection, it wasn't something I gave too much thought to(!) Unfortunately, I can't leave a hood on all the time, and I have the option of removing the UV filter if I want...
