Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of B+W 72mm Clear UV Haze with Multi-Resistant Coating (010M)
Customer Review: good quality, but some undesireable side-effects
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my first haze filter, so please consider that with the comments I write. The product appears to be excellently made, the glass is immaculate and there are no imperfections to be detected anywhere. It screws on easily and securely to the end of my Canon 40D with a 28-130mm kit lens. The lens cap fits on over the filter very well too. For all this: 5 stars.
My experience with this filter might be the same for any UV filter, so dont take this necessarily as an assesment of the filter's quality, just as a synopsis of what I am experiencing with my Canon 40D camera with a 28-130mm kit lens in combination with this filter; heres the info, now you be the judge:
a.) the images are darker - I've been told to expect this, but its even darker than I hoped. The colors seem to have blue hues strengthened: all white objects have a light-purple tint. Take filter off, it goes away. The reds are deeper in tone, again, probably more blue added. Obviously the light metering and color balancing in my camera is now off-balance with the added filter. This can be custom adjusted in the camera software to compensate via white balance, or post-processed afterwards to fix it.
b.) any haze reduction is nearly imperceptible, or maybe I am only just telling myself I can see a small difference to justify the cost? Perhaps the built-in UV filter in the Canon 40D was already doing a good job so a supplemental UV filter doesnt add much benefit? My shots of the Alps (plenty of haze) show no difference in clarity, neither forground nor distant.
c.) my autofocus is slightly off now too for close-ups. Both the kit lens and the filter are very clean, so I dont know why I am having this effect when I attach the filter.
So for the side-effects I give the experience I am having with a UV filter a 3. I am sure the quality of the lens is very good and if you are an experienced Photographer then these symptoms may perhaps be exactly what one should expect. Obviously for my set-up some tuning of the camera needs to be made if I am going to continue with this filter. Your experience might be similar so consider this review carefully and use only what information it can offer.
