now if you really and only want to use AA just get a Rebel and a battery grip so you can use your beloved AAs

I have a Bilora 1157 Professional.

I'm also using this one and it is great for that price. I can recommend it, too.

Welcome!

FYI, Hoya's HD line has a different front coating than the Pro1 and S-HMC lines.  The HD coating is much more like the B+W MRC - repels oils and doesn't streak when wet-cleaned.  The same is not true for the other Hoya lines.

Thank you!
I already expected something like that. That's why I chose the HDs over the Pro 1s.

I personally recommend Hoya Pro1 Digital.

these are also very good but much more of a pain to clean than the B+W ones i have both

I haven't used Hoya's filter.  I am just curious why Hoya's filter is difficult to clean?

hi,
I've been reading in this forum for a pretty long time now and just registered to answer that I don't own any Hoya Pro1 but I'm using three of the Hoya HD filters and I'm really pleased with them...nothing negative to say 'bout them
