hi everybody. i'm about to buy a UV and a polarizer filter, and i'm just wondering what the differences are between these b+w UV filters:
B+W 72 mm UV-415 UV-Blocking Glass Filter ($94.95)

B+W 72mm UV Haze 010 (MRC) Multi-Resistant Coating Glass Filter ($62.95)

B+W 72mm UV Haze 010 Glass Filter ($46.95)

thats not a dramatic price difference, but is there any reason that the multi-coated one is less expensive than the UV-415 model? i've seen in at least one thread on this forum that dv cameras aren't even affected by UV interference, so should i just get the cheapest b+w UV filter for protection and maybe whatever minimal image enhancement it would provide? would the glass in the UV-415 filter be better than the cheaper ones?
i assume that i should get a multi-coated linear polarizer, since it's only 15 bucks more than the non-coated one.
also, another related question: if i stack both non-slim filters (the UV and then the Polarizer) on top of each other, will i get vignetting? would it make sense to get a slim polarizer to cut down on the length of the filter stack?
