Digital camera reviews of B+W 77mm Kaesemann Circular Polarizer with Multi-Resistant Coating
Digital camera Review: B + W 77mm Kaesemann Circular Polarizer Coated Glass Filter
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent filter!
I have had many filters in the course of almost 50 Years photography, including numerous Polarizer filters. This one however is astounding in results and Quality. I have (due to special circumstances) been lucky enough to be able to shoot and compare shots with this one, and other shots taken immediately after that with a selection of other brands!
This one however was a clear winner, NO doubt about it!
It is a little more in price, but in my estimation it is worth it.
Digital camera Review: B + W circular polarizer
Summary: 5 Stars
A solid, well-made circular polarizer. Outstanding quality of glass; what else would you expect of the Germans? Easy to use and works like a dream. This is the filter you should not skimp on by buying a cheap imitation. This is the kind of filter you will have in your kit for 20 years. I bought the 77mm filter so I can accommodate My largest diameter lens and use step down rings for my others. Really worth the price.Digital camera Review: Best Circular Polarizer Money Can Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
My title says it all. If you spend L-series money on lenses, why not get the best filters?
B + W and Heliopan are made by Schneider Optics and are the best money can buy.
It's an expensive filter, but it will be the last 77mm circular polarizer I'll ever buy, unless this one is lost or damaged. It's nice to know that I cannot upgrade from this product.
Digital camera Review: Best. Filter. Ever.
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! So this is how the pros get all those phenomenal outdoor photos. This polarizer gives you the freedom to cut a good deal of the reflected light out of your shots, which saturates colors and reduces contrast in a way I didn't think was possible with a single exposure. Literally every shot I take outdoors looks so good, with great saturation and amazing dynamic range, it's as though I spent hours carefully compiling an HDR image from a dozen exposures. This photography hobby just keeps getting better and better.Digital camera Review: Do not scrimp on your filters
Summary: 5 Stars
Once you have spent big money on a lens, DO NOT SCRIMP on the filters. B&W is the highest quality I have seen and I no longer buy any filters other than B&W.
The polarizing filter is a must have for a photographer. It brings down glare and brings up the color in the sky. On days where the sky is boring, SOMETIMES this filter can save a shot. It stops down your light by about 2 stops. I use it with a Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras
The Kaesemann is recommended as it is weather sealed. If you have a lens that is not weather sealed this helps, and if you have a lens that is, this just adds another level of protection.
The brass fitting of the B&W makes it easy to screw on and unscrew. Some other filters tend to bind, I have never had this problem with the B&W.
I have never owned the Hoya, but through the lens it is VERY similar (no preference), but I have heard good things. Still, I will never buy any filter other than a B@W.
Highly Recommended.
