| Can anyone verify this B+W filter authenticity?
I'm looking to buy a filter from online, and this is what the seller has sent to me (the images)  
What I find it funny is that it says "77.0" rather than the usual 77 on other B+W filters.
These were the only full-sized resolution images he has sent to me.
Let me know! it would be awesome if I got some feedback from you guys.
Thanks,
N

May I suggest going to a store, like Kerrisdale Camera's and looking at it? I'm sure they can give you feedback as well.

Hmmmm...can't really tell from the images, but you're right - the "77.0" is something I've never seen/noticed before, and I've been selling B+W for the past 2 years.

Is that an XS-PRO filter, or just a normal 007? I just checked maxsaver, which I believe are real, and their image of an XS-PRO in a 72mm shows 72,0.
The front face labeling is correct for a B+W filter though.

when you take the filter, and place it under direct light, can you see a purple or greenish tinge to it? That is supposed to be the MRC.

you might have the normal MRC filter, while Nintensity has the slim XS-Pro filter with the different labeling.
