MIG Productions has released some new filters, including a second Panzer Gray one. My question may be obvious, but is the newer version better than the older? I like the original well enough, but it does have a blue residue that sometimes is left behind and can be hard to get rid of.

Maybe thats why a second has been released .. to avoid the blue residue?

That's what I assumed, Frank, but you know how they say "assume makes an ass out of you and me."
Anyone here have direct experience with the two filters?

Bill,
Why don't you email Rick Lawlor of Mig Productions USA and ask him to send you some review samples? He's a great guy, I'm sure he would.
