I debated for a long time on the worth of uv filters given that uv is filtered out at the sensor on almost all digital cameras. However, I do like the idea of keeping the front of the lens protected from the elements and its a lot easier to clean the flat surface of a filter than the curved surface of a lens. High quality lenses contain superior optics and we spend thousands on them so why get a £10 filter to protect it if it will significantly degrade image quality?I chose the b+w nano filter for a few reasons:- Exceptionally clear glass to ensure maximum performance from my lenses (it is so clear you have to hold it at a very oblique angle to see any reflection)- The nano range is really

First off - this is expensive.Over £70 for a piece of glass to put over your expensive lens - surely some mistake?Well, opinion is divided on the matter of UV filters.There is the argument that, having spent hundreds or thousands of pounds buying optically wonderful lenses, why stick another piece of glass on top?There is (also) the argument that, having spent hundreds or thousands of pounds buying optically wonderful lenses, why not protect them by fitting a UV filter?I belong to the latter camp - however, I agree that buying a cheap filter with iffy optical quality is a poor investment. And several of my Canon "L" series lenses are only weatherproof with a filter fitted. 'Nuff said.So,

I wish I had considered B+W filters previously. When I received the filter I saw that on the box the manufacturer's name was Jos Schneider Optische Werke Gmbh. I had no idea that these filters were made by one of the renown names in high quality German camera lens production. I use Leica cameras and have always bought the official original filters, in part because quite a few of the lenses require a 39 mm screw in size that is not available in most alternative brands and also for warranty purposes with any new lens. In any case you are not going to screw a cheap unknown quality item on the front of a very expensive lens. In recent years the price of Leica filters has gone skywards,

I have bought this for the Olympus 12-40 f2.8 in order that give the best light transfer through the lens and also eliminate the unwanted reflections or diminished sharpness that cheap filters offer. It blew my mind up with basically absence of any softness in images. The only advice I would offer is to be careful with cleaning the glass of the filter and the method used. Don't use substances of any kind because you will damage the coating as I did by adding scratches on it. Use a lens pen with graphite head to clean the moisture of it. Use the brush head to remove the bigger debris and then just blow warm air from your mouth over the glass, then start gently rotate the lens pen head on the glared surface.

The use of lens filters seems to be a contentious subject amongst photographers. Their proponents claim they offer useful protection for lenses; their detractors claim they degrade image quality.I'm very much in the former category: I keep a filter on my lenses at all times to protect them. When you're paying £1k+ for lenses, spending an extra £50 or so on a piece of hardened glass to prevent the front element from being scratched or marked seems like a no-brainer to me. It's worth also mentioning that many modern lenses have advanced coatings on the front elements which can be damaged by salty sea spray and the like, so even if you aren't likely to scratch the front,

This is a top quality filter, so it should be for the money, it's possible to purchase two Hoya filters for about the same cost, however the name B+W preceeds it and is synonymous with quality, as I was intending to fit this filter onto a high end Nikon Nikkor lens it made sense to match the filter quality to that of it's intended partner. I have had a short amount of time to assess the filter (and lens!) but so far it seems to be of expected quality and performance, there is no vivible degradation in light capture and no sigh of any loss of performance elsewhere. Overall I feel that it's a nice item of equipment but at the low end of the scale when it comes to value for money,

I own very good camera equipment, however I have always went cheap with filters and protectors. Finally after such disappointing results with a cheap off brand Polarizing filter I finally had the sense beat into me by a good friend of mine. He basically said, you have thousands invested in your lenses then you put a cheap filter on them, makes no sense. I bought this UV haze filter and a circular polarizer filter from B&W. All I can say is WOW!! First the build quality is so good, you know you have a precision instrument when you hold it in your hands. Secondly, the results to my photos is simply amazing!! The UV filter cuts right through the haze and gets you a nice clean and clear image!

I purchased this to protect the lens on my Fuji X100.Using a Fuji adaptor ring to facilitate the fitment of 49mm filters this filter is now mounted to protect the lens.I haven't noticed any degradation in image quality or any additional flaring.I carry the camera in the official ever (never) ready leather case which whilst tight will fit the camera with adaptor and filter in place.It is tight so I don't use a lens cap, instead I let the case do the protecting when its being carried and don't have to worry about a cap or damaging the lens when in use.For someone using an X100 and wanting to carry it in the case (without cap)

What can one say? B+W filters are really well made and beautifully manufactured. The filter is used as a protection filter for the front element of a 35mm f/2.0 T* Sonnar wide angle lens with a thread size of 49mm. The company which produces these filters is the German Schneider Optics company. The glass used is dyed in the mass Schott glass and it does not get any better than that. Brass filter rings do not bind in the same manner that steel or aluminium will. The multicoating is very tough and reduces unwanted reflections and the filter ring is thin so that vignetting is not needlessly caused by fitting the filter on a wide-angle lens. Highly recommended.

These are the slimmest filters I have found that will still hold the standard clip-on lens cap. They say they are not threaded at the front, to avoid vignetting, but they do have a slip ridge that holds the cap. Having tried out Lee Filters on the front of this because I forgot I should need to take it off, I have since found that there is plenty of thread to hold a filter in front on the Hebrides in a force 8 wind! (The photo was dreadful, but it wasn't the filter's fault!)This has cut down the vignetting I had been finding with other filter types on the wide end of a 24-120mm lens.Highly recommended.

B+W are renowned for their quality products and this simple UV filter lives up to the hype. I did want to get the nano coated version which was out of stock when I purchased, however the multicoating on the MRC version is definitely of a high standard. If you are wanting a 'protection' filter for your new lens/camera either the Nano or MRC versions of these filters are highly recommended - however I would avoid the uncoated cheapest version simply because uncoated filters from any manufacturer can increase flare and generally dilute the contrast whenever the sun is in or just out of frame...

Well pleased with this filter, great fit. People say why spend so much in a filter if only to protect your lens , well the answer is easy, cheap filters cause problems and yes it is protecting my lens but then i paid several hundred pounds for my lens so paying this amount is well worth the money.I ordered this just to late for next day delivery but was told this would arrive Sunday , oh well never mind , it it came the next day 18 hrs after i placed the order !!!!! Wow well impressed , well done fantastic service and a fantastic filter . Well pleased

When you buy a lens costing over £1500, you don't go and stick a cheap filter on the front of it. B+W are just typical german quality. Not cheap - but if you want cheap, then you clearly don't respect the lens you're putting it on. This is the 3rd B+W filter I've bought and will continue to buy them as there is nothing that compares from the research that I have done.This is my third filter. This time to cover a new Canon 16-35 Mk3 lens. Just saves getting finger marks on the lens and protects the front element.

Hi there,I have seen posts in some photography forums that Canon lens caps do not fit very well B+W filters with the XSDP (XS-Pro) mount, so I was not sure what to expect when I ordered this filter. Now that I have it, I think this information is rather exaggerrated. It is true that there is about half a milimeter gap between the cap and the filter, however, it is hardly noticeable and the cap fits quite firmly. So there is nothing you should worry about.

These filters are a little expensive but are in a different league to the other cheaper brands. The thinness of the mount, threads do not stick and the ability to clean the surface without having to be too precious about it. It is probably a comfort thing. Having a good camera with a good lens could all be compromised by a poor quality and dirty filter. These filters remove that variable from the equation.
