Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of B+W 77mm Clear UV Haze with Multi-Resistant Coating (010M)
Customer Review: Great but not the only one!
Summary: 5 Stars
To be honest I bought this filter after reading many reviews that stated it is noticeably better than other brands because it uses higher grade optical glass. Well, no doubt it looks great. But I have other much cheaper filters by Canon and Tiffen. They both look great as well! I have a Canon 5D Mk 2, with L series lenses, so I have a good reference point. Maybe there is some freak condition where the sun is hitting the filter at some special angle that this one preforms better than others, but to be honest I haven't come across it yet. I've shot in everything from harsh noon sun to sunset and it looks the same as the Tiffen and the Canon filters. I say save yourself the money and buy the Tiffen or Canon. It looks the same!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!
