i was just wondering if there was two versions.... i read somewhere online that that is one version that sells cheaper that the ring is not brass...

All of the B+W F-pro mounts are brass. But, there are two version of the glass - one with multicoating (MRC) and one without which sells for about half the price.

Indeed. B+W MRC UV filters are on all my lenses. But instead of the F-Pro mount, I'll be getting the new(ish) XS-Pro mount MRC UV for the 10-22mm I'll be ordering in a few days...
the silm version,,,
my brother has bought one year ago a filter for his 70 200 f2,8 l is that is a rodenstock 77 UV filter... and cost about 100 dollars a bit more than the b+w...
is rodenstock better than b+w?
by the way i have ordered the filter today and should be here in about two weeks or less.... and i paid 60 dollars for the b+w MRC 77mm UV filter ,amazon.uk sells for the same price that ebay sells... well i´m anxious to get the filter and see if it is the real deal... if it is i will be really really happy... but lets wait and see...
If you mean the XS-PRO mount, sort of. Most B+W filters are either F-Pro mount or SLIM mount - the slim mount is thinner because it lacks front threads, meaning you need to use the provided slip-on cap instead of the Canon (or other) cap that came with the lens, since those require threads. So, SLIM is fine for a filter that won't 'live' on your lens, but not ideal for a UV filter intended to remain on the lens full time. The XS-PRO mount is just about as thin as the SLIM mount, but it does have front threads (one fewer turn than the F-Pro), meaning the standard cap will work (or another filter can be stacked, if absolutely needed).
