Gives protection, a little expensive, but if you have a $[...] lens whats anothder [...] bucks!? I'd much rather be safe than sorry....Customer Review: Top quality lens protection
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm lucky enough to own some of the best lenses made, and when it comes to protecting them, B&W is my first choice. In addition to UV filters, I also use B&W for their polarizers and ND filters.
The filter is obviously high quality, threading easily and securely onto my lenses with no binding or looseness whatsoever...this tends to be my number one complaint with other brands - they either don't go on smoothly, don't stay on securely, or are difficult to remove (especially in cold weather). Not so with the B&W.
From an optical perspective, although I don't have any exacting way to measure it, I certainly don't see any degradation in image quality from use of this filter on my lenses. Colors and contrast seem identical with and without. One thing I do with filters is to inspect them by looking at reflections at a steep angle. If you look at the reflection of a bright object with lots of straight lines off the filter, some brands reveal a bit of rippling or color difference, and sometimes it's different with the filter mounted on a lens. I've never seen this with any B&W product.
For ultra-wide angle lenses, B&W makes a line of thinner filters that won't cause vignetting, however I only use them when absolutely necessary as I find it difficult to attach lens caps or hoods to the thinner mounts.
If you have thousands of dollars invested in your lenses, the cost of a high quality filter seems like a no-brainer.
Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Seems to be doing what it should.

I haven't had much of a chance to use it yet. But it seems to be doing what it should - protecting my Canon 70-200mm f2.8L SI and not effecting the the photograph.Customer Review: B+W 77mm UVA Filter
Summary: 5 Stars
Works great. Mainly use it to protect the front element of my lens. It never comes off. The only qualities that I am looking for in this type of filter are that it doesn't get in the way and add any color hue to my pix and that it is built well. This filter accomplished both wonderfully.Customer Review: Quality Product but not sure if it's needed
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this product as a newbie. I read quite a few reviews and discussions as to whether or not it's needed. I keep it on my 17-55 lens most of the time for protection sake. I honestly can't say that I notice any difference when it's on or off. It is a bit of a hassle taking it off (unscrewing it) and replacing it with another filter. It's not something that happens instantly, so hopefully there's no hurry when you're making the change. Someday I'll have to compare some pics with it on and off to see if there is any difference in sharpness, etc.
