I am a little confused over the marketing of B+W filters...

1) the mount options - F-Pro (standard mount?) XS-Pro (Slim mount) then there is SLIM (what?)

2) they all have MRC but some comes with KAES what is kaesemann variant???

3) where on earth can you buy these filters? all that's available is from ebay.

I want a decent 77mm filter to go on my 10-20 wide angle. that's all. is it so hard to ask :p

oh, what's the alternative?

The alternative is Hoya hd for example, which is what I would get if I wanted the best. But I am not too sure about cpl for 10mm, that would only work for waterfalls, after sunset or similar well away from the sunny skies
 
i appreciate the fact that if i point the camera at the sun, cpl doesn't do anything also at such a wide angle i will have different amount of polarisation across the landscape...but i kinda like that

thanks for the tip on Hoya

ah, is there any variants of Hoya HD that offers slim mount or standard mount? i want the slim ones for the fact i don't want to end up with vignetting issues

I have the F-Pro MRC one, its a nice filter - the mount is quite thick but I can still stack it with an ND of the same mount @ 10mm on a tamron 10-24 with quite easily correctable falloff in the corners.
