Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of B+W 77mm Slim UV Haze MRC #010 Filter XS-Pro Ring(Slim Line w/Front Thread)
Customer Review: Worth the Cost
Summary: 5 Stars
Let's be honest - many people debate whether or not a UV filter is necessary, whether small marks on a lens matter, and even how performance of a UV filter should be considered (which ranges and intensities matter, or matter most).
At the end of the day, if you're shopping for a UV filter, you've probably made the decision to buy one. If you're looking at this particular (slim) product, you're probably buying this filter for a wide angle lens.
I'll simply list my perceived advantages of this filter and leave the buying/value determination up to the individual.
(1) Quality of glass is superb. Comparing to some cheap filters at ~25% of the cost, I would expect most people to be able to distinguish the difference. Rightly or wrongly, I determined that experimenting with filters at ~50-70% of the cost of the B+W wasn't worth the time and effort.
(2) MRC coating supposedly makes the lens easier to clean. I'm not sure that I've given this any sort of scientific evaluation, though I have no reason to doubt it.
(3) Brass filter ring has never bound on me, nor would I expect it to do so. If nothing else, the brass ring makes using a polarizer much more pleasant during installation and removal. I don't use a polarizer often, so this filter usually stays attached to my 17-40mm f/4L lens. Incidentally, this lens requires a front screw mount filter to complete lens weather sealing (perhaps reason enough to buy this or a UV filter of your liking).
(4) On my EOS-1n (35mm) and EOS Xsi (digital) I've never noticed vignetting beyond that inherent to the naked lens. The widest lens I've used was my Canon 17-40mm f/4L. Please remember that my EOS-1n is a "full frame" 35mm film camera. My XSi and most DSLRs are much less likely to be affected by vignetting.
(5) As a general testament to B+W, I have a (non-slim) 77mm version of this MRC UV filter on my 70-200mm f/4L lens and am equally pleased.
(6) Some users have complained that using a filter on the 17-40mm Canon lens (despite requiring a filter for weather sealing due to its moving front lens element) will result in the front lens element impacting the filter. As least with this particular product, I have not experienced this interference. I do not know how to determine which filters will or will not cause interference with the front lens element apart from (1) trial and error or (2) relying upon user reviews.
