Filters with a single coating vs multiple coating?

7 years 3 weeks ago #521205 by One Wish
Something that oddly enough I've overlooked, is that filters come with coating options.  The single coating depending on brand is upwards of 1/2 the price of the multi-coated version.  

Can you see the difference in the photos, or is this marketing aimed at vanity driven photography gear heads?

Very interesting, I'll be checking my filters today to see if they are single or multiple coatings. 

BTW in that article they speak about in 2012 that there was companies claiming to have multiple coatings, but didn't.  Is there any way to know what filters they are talking about?

I haven't paid too much attention to the claims, however I won't buy a filter now that doesn't have an abundance of positive reviews. I shop (research) them to near death.

I haven't bought any filters in years.That said, I just won an eBay auction for a Tamron 20-40mm F2.7-3.5 that included a B&W polarizing filter in 77mm
