Thanks to those who offered advice. I've ordered the B+W from Amazon
(who sold it for Adorama). In 1997, I dropped an earlier version, the
Canon 75-300 on the metal deck of a boat on Prince William Sound with
no effect -- nothing broke and it functioned perfectly afterwards.
This was a sixteen inch drop to a wooden floor. Go figure!

Roger you are lucky, the filter has done it's job. Make sure you buy
a multi-coated filter, B&W are good.

I dropped my 70 to 300 mm DO lens and broke the UV/Haze filter.
Amazon seems to have a gazillion of them for sale. Anyone have a
recommendation for a replacement? Or does is matter who makes it?
The original was a Canon. Thanks for any advice. The lens itself
is fine and the screw mount on it seems to be undamaged.
