Q: 1. Is the .3 stop light loss number in the specifications accurate?

A: I suspect that there is some semantics involved. However, I find the in my terms the factor is 1.3. By this I mean for example: holding the shutter speed constant, I get a reading of f9 without the filter, with the filter on and adjusted for maximum effect it will require a aperture of f5.6 for an equivalent exposure. I was mislead by the point three as well, but it is still better than the 2.5 or a bit more that conventional filters of this type yield.Hope this helps.

Q: 2. Is this filter scratch resistant?

A: The filter is made of glass. Only something harder than glass can scratch it like diamonds or topaz.

Q: 4. Is the Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Filter made of Brass or Aluminum?

A: It is heavy enough I'm pretty sure it is brass. What ever metal it is harder than aluminum. Don't ever get aluminum as it is way too soft and eventually it will ding the thread so will be unusable unless you are into repairing threads with a very fine file and magnifying glasses, which I have also done.

Q: 10. Is this filter (Nikon 95mm Circular Polarizer Filter II) multicoated?

A: I checked the Nikon manual for the filter and it is silent on multi-coating (generic filter foldout is provided). A competing website for B&H says that it is. Nikon's website is also silent. So I cannot say for sure. I am happy with the filter, the glass is exceptional using it on a new Nikon 200-500. Please note that it is exceptionally thin, spinning the CPL piece is easy while get it on and off the lens takes some care as I have big hands.
