I was looking for a loupe to use on LCD screen at B&H, and noticed that the Schneider loupes are pictured under both B+W and Schneider. Wasn't sure whether this was jsut a mistake.

According to Wikipedia (dose of salt):

In 1985, they acquired B+W Filterfabrik, Joh. Weber KG, Wiesbaden, maker of the well-respected line of B+W filters.
