Top feature filter
 
Review Date: August 28, 2007
Reviewer: T. Keidl,
I bought this filter for my Canon 50mm f/1.4. The 50mm lens consistently gives me my top images so I wanted a excellent feature filter for it. My main goal here is protection of my lens, but at the same time I wanted something that didn't degrade my images. I usually get lower feature filters but this time chose to splurg for the expensive one.

My first depression was that this thing really has some weight to it. It feels like you're really getting something. When you pick it up, you can really notice a variation in lower feature filters (I usually bought Hoya or something from Best Buy in the past). This is well built.

Second depression is that this filter is *crystal* clear. My other filters are not as noticeably clear as this.

Now, when I have taken photos with this, I have still gotten the nice crisp clear shots I naturally got with my 50mm. So it's caring the lens and keeping my shots clear--just so what I want from it. You may get just so the same with a cheaper filter, I didn't try anything else. All I can tell you is that this filter delivered.

Also, I don't reckon I saw it listed in the specs, but this is the MRC model (meaning Pro grade).

Bought the 58mm version of this to protect the lens on a Cannon S5 IS (I am of the ancient school of caring lenses). The construction is as solid as a rock and the filter element is crystal clear. I went with the B&W since of the brass outer ring. This filter will mate to an aluminum Lensmate adapter (highly recommended). Aluminum to aluminum can seize. Aluminum to plastic will bind (under particular conditions) but brass does not have that interactive riddle under normal (non-maritime) conditions. Consequently, this filter can buffer linking the Lensmate adapter and anything I want to screw into the female outfit of this filter. Brass and B+W are a excellent thing (so Martha would say).
Fantastic Filter

The craftsmanship is fantastic and the performance exceeded my expectations. Don't waste your time with the cheap filters, for fantastic shots and clear pictures use B+W.

I have always used protective filters on my lenses. I had been a loyal Tiffen user for a long time but for the past couple years I felt the feature of some of their filters had been terrible.

Just I bought a new lens and ordered the Tiffen UV Protector per usual. Sorry to say I immediately noticed that my images had really terrible glare in low light situations. I knew Tiffen had better feature (or supposed)filters so I "upgraded to their Digital Ultra Clear protective filter but got the exact same issues...I had really terrible glare in low light.

After some research and recommendations from other people I found B+W MRC filters. I bought this filter and immediately place it on my lens when it came in. After numerous test shots (I have a room in my house that could reliably breed the same glare with the Tiffen filters) I could not find any glare at all!!!

Lesson learned...multi-coated is the way to go and even though they are higher priced...B+W MRC are very excellent feature that will not impact image feature.

Do NOT place cheap filters on your lenses...I used to and will never again.
