B+W 77mm Clear Multi-Resistant Coating (007M) Lens Filter Review

I was excited when I first got it but I opened it and was disappointed. While the packaging was certainly factory sealed, the filter itself was dirty and needed a thorough cleaning before all the dirt was removed. I would expect this from the $5 Sunpak filter you see at Walmart, but absolutely not from anything over $30 from a German optical company. For such a price one would expect a "perfect" product from a German optician. Once I managed to get it completely clean and in front of the…

I chose a straight glass "filter" instead of UV fogging etc. I really didn't want anything between a great lens and mine put purpose. I really think this filter is a great way to protect a valuable lens. I really like this product in that regard. But I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because I don't find the filter to be the best A lens cleaning solution (eg (e.g. from Zeiss and the like) leaves streaks. You really have to wipe the filter surface to get rid of it. And I have a problem with…

I have bought a lot of so called multi-coated clear lenses which have fogged up out of the box and become scratched when held up to a light source and looked through.

The main and main function is one of the many ways to protect your camera lens. Replacing a black and white lens costs a lot less than replacing a camera lens when…

Luckily I have yet to test if this filter can withstand damage/protect my very expensive lens. But I can talk about its clarity and high build quality. I've used this on my Canon 24-105mm f/4 lens for a couple of shots and literally can't tell the difference between the lens off and the lens on. I've extensively studied side-by-side comparisons in different lighting conditions and can't find any significant difference between shots taken with and without this lens. So A+ for clarity. It also…

I am a well known professional photographer and I "thought" that I was a very savvy consumer. Wow, through a lot of research I found out that most of the best B+W and Hoya filters I've bought in the last 15 years were fake. Here's what I recently discovered to make sure there are real ones here at Revain: HOW TO RECOGNIZE A COUNTERFEIT: Some counterfeits are easy to spot. The typography of the inner ring is white instead of gold as previously used by B+W. Now the counterfeiters are starting to…
