Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of B+W 77mm Clear UV Haze with Multi-Resistant Coating (010M)
Customer Review: Great Lens Filter
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this lens filter to protect my investment in the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM lens, which I primarily use for outdoor walk-around photography. I prefer to have the salty air where I'm located, along the coast, eat away at a lens filter than at my expensive lenses. I'm very happy with the build quality of the filter itself, which features a solid brass ring that easily screws on/off the lens without mis-threading. I also like how it adds some rigidity to the end of the lens while still permitting the use of a standard flower lens hood and standard lens cap.
The UV filter also does a great job at reducing lens flare when shooting into direct sunlight and just generally working as advertised.
Customer Review: B+W Are The BEST!
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say about B+W filters that has not been said before me? Are the expensive? Yes. Are they worth it? Yes.
I have tried lesser filters and there is a difference. The UV filter is the finishing piece on all my lenses and the optical quality goes through the lens back to the camera sensor. A high quality filter, such as this one does not add flare or contrast to or otherwise degrade your pictures like a cheap filter will.
If you have a twenty dollar lens, use a twenty dollar filter. If on the other hand you have a better lens, why skimp on the filter? Heck, this filter would probably make a twenty dollar lens look good!
Customer Review: I thought a filter was just a filter--I was wrong!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always used Hoya filters because I thought they were a good value--which they are! However, I have always found Hoya filters difficult to clean. I just purchased my first B+W filters and now I plan to replace all my other filters with B+W filters. Yes, they are more expensive, and I thought the reviews were over-inflated and perhaps a little snobish. I am now a beliver! The quality of the filter construction is unmatched and they can be thoroughly cleaned without any smudges in under a minute. The photo quality is excellent as well! I love this product and it is certainly worth the extra money in the long run.Customer Review: Best Lens Filters for Upper-end Nikkor Lenses
Summary: 5 Stars
I have now purchased 4 of these B & W UV Filters for various Nikkor Lenses for my new Nikon D200 & D70s and can't be happier. Another Nikonian recommended them as I always used Tiffen, also a quality filter, but can honestly tell you you get what you pay for. The B & W Filters are smooth screwing on and off the front of the lens and don't appear to alter the image at all (my main concern). The fellow Nikonian was right, these are the best filters for the money spent. I am in process of buying two more B & W Circular Polarizers and an Enhancer. You won't go wrong with this precision crafted piece of glass!Customer Review: Best Filter I have ever had
Summary: 5 Stars
I have bought Tiffen and Quantaray filters in the past (it is what was suggested by the folks at the brick and mortar that I bought my first lens) and was OK with these filters until I saw the quality of the B&W. They do not even remotely compare.
Yes, the B&W is more expensive but if you spent good money on great glass and then cover it with a filter that does not do it justice, where did you waste the money.
Highly recommended.
