Digital camera reviews of B+W 77mm Clear UV Haze with Multi-Resistant Coating (010M)
Digital camera Review: Industry leader
Summary: 5 Stars
Working in photography for too many years to remember, the need for a high quality Haze, Skylight filter to protect my lens glass is paramount. Think about it, would you rather replace an $85 filter on the front of your lens of a $1,200+ "L" lens. I'll take the filter option. Shooting sports, mostly American football, my gear gets hit, dropped, kicked and abused. I've had to replace a few filters over the years, but never a lens.
Anything you put in front of the lens is apt to lower the quality of your image. Using top quality glass filters is key to minimizing the loss of quality while maximizing the protection of your precious lens.
B&W is a leader in this space. Most professional I know use their filters and swear by them. You can go the cheaper route, but don't expect first class results with second rate glass.
Digital camera Review: Lens protector
Summary: 4 Stars
I give these filters 4 stars just due to the fact that it costs so much. They do the best job out of all the filters I've used and I've switched to them because I was seeing glare in some other products. It's not pleasant to carry around an expensive lens and remove a bad filter at every shoot. These lens help me shoot fast and clear instantly without hassling with the lens.
This filter isn't cheap but I've seen nicks here and there and thankfully this is much cheaper than the lens itself. If you have the money get the protection, otherwise find something cheaper.
Digital camera Review: No sacrifices
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this filter along with a Canon 24-105L lens. Knowing that I had an very expensive high end lens, I did not want to put a lesser quality filter on it. I had used B&W filters before and found them to be absolutely pure.Digital camera Review: Not so great haze reduction in sunny skies
Summary: 2 Stars
I have been using this filter for all my aviation photography and to be honest I am not impressed. On sunny days the haze from pollution in the north eastern US is noticeable whether I use the filter or not. Subjects (airplanes in this example) have to be really close or, alternatively, at just the right angle, for pictures to some out reasonably sharp. The filter is of excellent build quality though.Digital camera Review: Professional UV filter
Summary: 5 Stars
Expensive and worth it. Top quality construction. I managed to smash my first one somehow but the lens below and the threads didn't suffer any damage. Beautiful craftsmanship.
