B+W filters - mono vs. multicoating

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Camera Equipment : One Thread

Hi,

I just bought a KR 1.5 filter and realized that it is not multi-coated. I believe it has a single coating on each side. Is there a significant difference between the MRC (multicoated) and regular B+W filters? The salesperson advised me that the regular B+W filters are what they sell to local pros.

I have both kinds & while the MRCs are supposed to be better @ preventing stray reflections, I haven't been able to see any difference in my negatives (maybe I just don't take enough photos in challenging lighting conditions, e.g., into the sun).
