Don't buy cheap

For amateurs it's very tough to decide if you should go cheap on a filter. I know because I was that guy.

There's a rule with photography: the moment you start dealing with glass, picture quality will be affected with what you choose.

B+W makes great filters and they take pride in their quality. This is the 4th filter that I've gotten from them and once again it arrived flawless. When going with cheaper alternatives like the Tiffen 77mm UV Protection Filter or *gasp* the Zeikos ZE-UV77 77mm Multi-Coated UV Filter you are sacrificing a couple of areas.

There will always be glass quality that you should be concerned about. Chromatic abrasion is an example that when dealing with glass anything in between your sensor and the subject can affect quality. With "cheapies" you may not notice a sharpness decrease, but "shadows" around your subjects may occur. This is something that would not be enough of a concern if you are just taking pictures of your kids and want to protect your lens. If that's the case then get the Zeikos, but if you're going to try and do anything professional enough to be critiqued, then spend the money.

The other factor to consider is thread quality. My first lens was a kit lens and I threw on a Zeikos. The thread was bad and it took forever to put it on. Heaven forbid if I ever wanted to take it off to switch filters or anything. This is what I was used to though, so when I got my B+W filter and it threaded effortlessly, I never went back.

To summarize, if you want to take pictures professionally, spend the money and get this one. If you want to just protect your lens, don't worry too much.

good quality, but easy to catch dust

this product has very good quality. i didn't realize any improvement or reduction of the quality of my pictures when using it. but it really protect the lense well.

only one thing that is not very good is: this filter is easy to catch dust, and so hard to clean. when i got this new filter, i realize there's a little dust on it, so i tried to clean it use camera cleaning cloth. however, i made it worse. i spent 15mins cleaning it, and there're more and more dust on it when the cleaning cloth touch the filter. maybe because this filter's material easy to catch dust.

Expensive but good - and slim

This is a great filter. I don't give many 5-star reviews but this is everything it should be. Great filter and slim, which is great if you're worried about vignetting. I'm wearing this on my Canon 24-105 f4 L and there is practically no vignetting at 24.

Great but not the only one!

To be honest I bought this filter after reading many reviews that stated it is noticeably better than other brands because it uses higher grade optical glass. Well, no doubt it looks great. But I have other much cheaper filters by Canon and Tiffen. They both look great as well! I have a Canon 5D Mk 2, with L series lenses, so I have a good reference point. Maybe there is some freak condition where the sun is hitting the filter at some special angle that this one preforms better than others, but to be honest I haven't come across it yet. I've shot in everything from harsh noon sun to sunset and it looks the same as the Tiffen and the Canon filters. I say save yourself the money and buy the Tiffen or Canon. It looks the same!
