Filters: Rodenstock vs. B+W

[Lisa Nikodym]

I needed a polarizer for a new camera, and the camera store salesman said that they don't carry B+W anymore (which I'm not sure I believe), and sold me a Rodenstock multi-coated polarizer instead. I've used multi-coated B+W's in the past. Does anyone here know whether the Rodenstock is about as good as B+W, as long as both are multi-coated? Or should I return it and order a B+W from elsewhere?

Thanks for any advice,
Lisa

This is why god created B+H Photo and overnight shipping.

Edit: There is a claim that they are rebranded heliopan filters.  If so they should be the equivalent of the B+W's.
