No Glare! Rating:5 out of 5 stars I have always used protective filters on my lenses. I had been a loyal Tiffen user for a long time but for the past couple years I felt the quality of some of their filters had been bad.
Recently I purchased a new lens and ordered the Tiffen UV Protector per usual. Unfortunately, I immediately noticed that my images had really bad glare in low light situations. I knew Tiffen had better quality (or supposed)filters so I “upgraded” to their Digital Ultra Clear protective filter but got the exact same issues…I had really bad glare in low light.
After some research and recommendations from other people I found B+W MRC filters. I purchased this filter and immediately put it on my lens when it came in. After several test shots (I have a room in my house that could reliably generate the same glare with the Tiffen filters) I could not find any glare at all!!!
Lesson learned…multi-coated is the way to go and even though they are higher priced…B+W MRC are very good quality that will not impact image quality.
Do NOT put cheap filters on your lenses…I used to and will never again.
The best! Rating:5 out of 5 stars B&W’s multi-coated #010 UV Haze filter isn’t cheap, but it is of superb quality — as clear and smooth as can be. I have never seen flare or other image artifacts that were attributable to this filter, whereas I have seen flare caused by cheap filters. If your photography matters to you, top-quality filters are worth the money.
B+W UV filter Rating:1 out of 5 stars I would have wanted to know if Amazon.com is an authorized B+W dealer. I would have wanted to know if Amazon.com sells grey market merchandise. I would have wanted to know if The filter I purchased is grey market. The filter I received from Amazon is a very different color than my other B+W UV filters. I don’t purchase filters from Amazon.com any more. I am looking very carefully into who sells grey market and who doesn’t. Jean
made in Germany? not sure! Rating:4 out of 5 stars filter ring print as “MADE IN GERMANY”, not “gebildet in Deutschland”. Not sure it was made in Germany, or, an OEM made in China?
A Great Filter Rating:5 out of 5 stars I bought this filter after owning a number of other filters, both uncoated and multicoated. When I took this filter out of the packaging, I could tell it was exceptionally well-made. The glass is clean and the case is metal. I will not buy another brand of filter anymore.
Must Have, It’s good to pay extra. Rating:5 out of 5 stars Very well made German engineered lens. Don’t settle for anything less than multi-coated, it helps with glare and doesn’t distort colors. B & W is well known in professional photography.
Excellent quality! Rating:5 out of 5 stars I’ve tried a couple of UV filters from other brands (Hoya/ Tiffen)and i could tell this is an extremely high-quality filter. I have never seen any flare or image degradation using this filter, Totally recommended!
Superb quality at less than WalMart price!! Rating:5 out of 5 stars When I read other reviews of this filter, I knew it was worth paying a few extra dollars for the quality of metal and glass. What I didn’t realize is that a trip to WalMart after my purchase would reveal that this product was cheaper than an inferior brand made of all plastic! Wow! It really pays to shop around! And they say you get what you pay for!
Made in Germany! Rating:5 out of 5 stars I’m solid recommendation B & W 52mm UV (Ultra Violet) Haze Multi Coated Glass Filter #010 ! Outstanding quality,reasonable price! I’m using it with my new Canon 10×42 L Image Stabilization Waterproof Binoculars!
Among the best filters made. Rating:5 out of 5 stars These filters are well made. I have a few of them on a variety of lenses and they function perfectly. I notice no degradation of image.
B+W always the best Rating:5 out of 5 stars As always, I purchased a B+W filter for a new lens. I can always trust the quality of any product by these folks.
The best UV filter..do not buy non-coated filters Rating:5 out of 5 stars Bought this filter after loosing some great shots to haze & reflection even after using the Tiffen 52mm UV Protection Filter. I bought the Tiffen 52mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit since it is very low-priced and I was a novice in the DSLR photography. After using those filters for more than an year, I was of opinion that UV filter doesn’t work, till someone told about the multi-reflective coating filters. And B+W is the best in this. These are certainly expensive but worth the money spent. I have seen the difference myself on comparing the Tiffen & B+W filters at same place on same camera settings. You can see my pictures in the customer images here.
This filter has a very sturdy construction and provides an awesome picture quality. Need I say more..???
You get what you pay for! Rating:5 out of 5 stars The B&W filters are expensive – but you get what you pay for. This is an extremely high-quality filter that is multi-coated and of superb quality optical glass. You don’t want to put a $10 piece of junk glass on the front of a $500 lens – what would be the point? Sometimes it pays to shell out a few more bucks for the quality. This is one of those times. B&W filters simply are the best.
Clear as a bell Rating:5 out of 5 stars Great filter and a bargain at the price I paid. Don’t waste your time with cheapo filters. Cheap filters ruin pictures. I’ve noticed my outdoor photos are much cleaner. Excellent quality from B&W as always.
