I'm not really a fan of Filters stuck on an very good Lens like the Fujinons, but I did scratch my walk about 18-55mm Zoom very Slightly, so now not taking any chances, you will always hare the argument that we don't need a filter on our lenses, extra glass and all that degrading the image, maybe? But don't worry B+W Filters are near perfect optically and very well made, not yet sure if the lens will now pick up some flare across the filter? The coating should reduce that anyway? I can still fit the lens hood with out a problem.Four Stars for this 39mm filter (unusual size), not the full five just because it looks a little too chunky on my Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 stuck to my Fujifilm X-E1,

It's a lens filter. It does what it say's on the box! What more can you ask? I always think that there is a big discrepancy between the price of lenses and the price of filters. If you count the number of rings, bits of glass and coatings, lenses should be about 6 or 7 times the price (based on the price of one ring and the glass of one filter)Extraordinary that the magazines claim that the filter provides good protection of the front element, hence the high price? What? That's like saying a raincoat should cost more because it covers more valuable clothes, tee shirts for example??? Secondly, this filter is called "digital"? No electronics, no digits, no pixels even.

I'll keep this one short and sweet. BUY IT!Made from Schott glass; Schott is a German company well known by the photographic community for manufacturing the glass components of Zeiss and Schneider Kreuznach lenses so the level of quality is well established.The actual filter comes in a very sturdy, hinged plastic box which is lined on the bottom with a foam-like substance designed to protect the housing for the glass and to minimise movement during transit, both of which it succeeds in doing very well.It's difficult to describe how different this filter feels compared to others I've had but believe me when I say that this has 'quality' written all over it; it feels weightier,

Not much to say other than it does what it says. I never shoot on any lens without a UV, just as protection. I am incredibly clumsy, not a very useful talent to have around thousands of pounds of optical equipment! UV's have saved two of my lenses from severe damage in the past, so don't even listen to the prats who say don't use them. After shooting 20-30 shots I can't see any problems in the clarity, no funny colour casts or focusing problems.Glad I bought mine from Amazon as the price beats the pants off the high street, almost another 30% over the Amazon prices. I have used Hoya in the past with no complaints but Hoya UVs get very expensive once you get over 72mm, B+W still stay reasonable.

At the time of purchase this filter was quite an expensive addition to my camera accessory collection, but I didn't regret the purchase one bit.The quality of the product is fantastic. The thread on the filter is so precisely made that it screws on to my lens with ease and just feels well made. The same can be said for any additional filter which screw onto it (the internal thread is just as nicely machined). I bought this to protect my DSLR lens and I can safely say that it hasn't affected the quality of my photographs. Also I find that my lens cap fits better onto this UV filter than my other filters, but this may just be by chance.I can't compare it to other UV filters,

- It comes from Germany (it has "Made in Germany" written on it, on a stylish golden colour), so it may take a while to arrive (a week or two)- The filter comes in a hard plastic case which can be used to carry it around- It has a double screw mechanism, which means that you can mount it but you can also have other lenses screwed on top of it. I use to mount the polarizing filter on top of it, so you can keep this filter mounted all the time.- It has haze factor 1x- The glass is high quality and it has a pink tint. This makes the objects to appear clearer indoors, when artificial light used. I can tell with the naked eye.- Great value for money, it worth much more.

You really do get what you pay for. Hoya are the brand below B+W, and whilst good, what I think you are getting with B+W is better glass that is easier to clean. Just this morning I cleaned my B+W and my Hoya in exactly the same way. The B+W was easy to wipe clean whilst the Hoya left streaks and smears which were hard to remove. If you want the best, buy the best. B+W is my brand of choice from now on, having seen the differences between the two. One is made in Germany (B+W), the other Japan, and whilst both excellent products in their own right, the B+W has the definite edge.

B&W filters tend to be a bit pricier than many other well-known brands but they are worth it.The quality of the build and the optics are excellent. The rings are made of brass which screw in smoothly and confidently and never seem to bind on the threads like alloy ones do. There is no creaking or flexing of the ring and they feel like they will last forever.I find the Hoya multicoated filters are good but are a nightmare to clean, even with high quality pec pads and eclipse as they always seem to smear or leave residue. These B&W ones are much easier to clean.

These are amongst the higest rated filters - and the most fakedB&W make glass, not plastic filters.They have less distortion, less flare and reflection (making better contrast photos) and are more durable - as well as showing more ability to shed dirt thanks to multicoating. If you are buying a premium lens for £100s then it makes sense to pair it with better filters.As with the new HOYA filters - the premium price has attracted fake manufacturers. Fortunately for us[1] there are excellent web pages to help you tell the difference[2] eBay protects us

Bought two of these to protect the lenses on a pair of binoculars which I use primarily for astronomy. The filter is constructed with metal frames with what seems to be fairly high quality glass (not plastic) lens. For protective purposes they do an excellent job although I have noticed a slight `seagull' effect on stars toward the edge of the view if I keep them on when observing. However, I very much doubt that they would have any detrimental effect when used on a camera for everyday photography as this effect is very minor.

They are not cheap but whey put a less than perfect filter on a lens that might cost hundreds or thousands of pounds.Having used other makes I think B&W are the best screw-in filters. The brass ring does not distort so the filter is always easy to screw/unscrew and does not stick like those with alloy rings. The glass and coatings do not add any colour casts and from technical tests I have seen, they let in all the essential wavelengths, while excluding the harmful ones.

Although I use Hoya Professional filters as well, I have always liked B+W ones, they exude quality, and the glass is of the highest standard. They are an ideal lens protector, are tough and unlikey to scratch easily or affect your pictures. If you have a good quality lens, it's false economy to put a cheap filter on it! Comes in a great little sturdy box with foam padding to protect it when not in use. Worth every penny!

I wanted this as primary protection on my Fuji X-series 60mm macro lens. It has a bloody silly 39mm filter thread, thought that went out with Leica film cameras! B+W still make tis size, and I've always been impressed with the quality. I usually use multicoated filters, but since for critical work I shall probably remove the filter, this is more than adequate for general purpose photography. Great quality, good value.

It never fails to surprise me when people spend an age carefully reviewing the optical advantages of one lens over another .... and then stick a mediocre piece of glassware between it and the outside world in the form of a non-optimal UV filter. You have to pay for the best, but failing to do so means that you are compromising every photo you take. These filters are amongst the best you can get - go for it!

This looks to be great value so far - clear glass and a great fit (no binding you get from other filters although I admit it will not be coming off the lens that often). I will see how it performs without the additional multicoat protection (will see if that is worth the extra money) but so far I am happy and considering replacing other filters with this one. Recommended.
