These are filters with cosmetic flaws, such as pinholes, sleeks, or light scratches. Filters offered as “Cosmetic Seconds” have flaws which have zero impact on optical performance. Spectral characteristics are the same high quality as our first quality filters and side by side performance is indistinguishable.
