Digital camera reviews of B + W 77mm Circular Polarizer Multi Coated Glass Filter
Digital camera Review: Great pictures, poor design...
Summary: 3 Stars
The polarizing offered by this polarizer is excellent... 5 stars. What has not been five stars is that this polarizer likes to bind up and get stuck on my lenses (brand new canon L's).... and believe me i put in on VERY lose. This might not be that much of a problem except of the front part of the polarizer spins (it is supposed to).. and the part your supposed to grip to take it off is literally about 2-3 mm wide.
costs to much for this problem...
Digital camera Review: Best you can get!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have quality glass, like the Canon L series, then you need quality filters. the B+W are made from ground optical glass, not a piece of plain glass like as you see in the tiffen and hoyas filters (even the expensive ones are still cheap grade glass). Only B+W and Heliopan put the time and $$ into making filters that are designed to be used with your quality lenses and not distort and reduce the optical quality of them. I have 2 of these, and I love them. I have a Heliopan as well, and I prefer the B+W a little bit more as its a brass ring and not aluminum and thus does not bind up as easy, and thats important when you want to change filters quickly! If you use a cheap filter on a pro grade lens, you are wasting your money, on the lens and the filter as the filter just hurt your image quality, and thus you lowered the quality of your lens! In filters, like lenses, you get what you pay for!!!
I shoot in all kinda of weather conditions, from sunny and warm, to windy and cold or snowy, and I have never had any major issues with any of my B+W filters acting up!
Digital camera Review: returned mine because of defect, but feels high quality
Summary: 4 Stars
I returned my item because it has some scar on the coating, and it's their last one in stock, so I didn't really have chance to use this filter. But I hold and watch it, it looks very high quality, sturdily built.Digital camera Review: Very well made
Summary: 5 Stars
Great quality in B+W and no complaints with this filter. It is lubricated so you can turn it and the oil made it onto on of my cleaning cloths. I guess this would happen with any circ. polarizer. Slight vingetting on wide angle (10mm-17mm) lenses. Get the slim one if it will bother you.Digital camera Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned 5 different B+W MRC filters and all have been excellent. This filter is no exception. The polarizing capacity is very strong with this filter and it does an excellent job of reducing glare, reducing blue polarized light in the sky, reducing reflection, etc. Build quality is very high and the level of rotating friction feels just right.
The MRC designation is your cue that this filter will not produce ghost images when used on digital SLRs due to an anti-reflectivity coating put on both surfaces of the glass. Hence the large increase in price when the MRC designation is present.
