B + W 55mm UV Protection Filter (010) for Camera Lens – Standard Mount (F-PRO), E Coating, 2 Layers Resistant Coating, Photography Filter, 55 mm, Clear Protector

Bon filtre UV. La monture métallique est lourde mais inspire confiance. Les couleurs sont respectées et le piqué semble être identique avec ou sans. Le revêtement est relativement facile à nettoyer, en tout cas sur petit diamètre, sans égaler les Sigma Protector WR (le top, malheureusement le plus petit diamètre est de 46 mm). Attention aux petites rayures qui sont difficiles à déceler sur ce filtre, nettoyez-le avec attention.

I am a photographer, I have kids, dog and I am busy-need I say any-more..:) Well- After scratching my $2,700 telephoto lens,(near the edge-thank God) with in 2 months of receiving it ,I purchased this protective lens. My pictures are detailed enough and I can sleep. It may not provide protection against acts of nature but it survives me! So I give this lens 2 thumbs up & gratitude. lol Other photographers I know who refuse to use these because its just another lens to shoot through do not even give me any flack anymore.( Unfortunately, I proved my point-it works for me! )I know Id rather not spend money on something I already bought .

Outstanding quality as expected from B+W.

The best!

Great filter for keeping out dust and protecting the lens from damage.

Nice product. Works as expected and it looks well made.

Man mag über solche Schutz-Filter denken wie man will - ich nehme sie im Studio ab und schraube sie outdoor drauf. Dass ich dann auf Qualität achte, die bei B+W gegeben sein dürfte versteht sich wohl von selbst.

So this is the first time I ordered a B + W filter from Amazon as I almost always exclusively go to BHPHOTOVIDEO for my camera gear but they were back ordered for almost 6 weeks and I needed coverage for my new lens! Upon arrive, the box looks completely differently! Ive ordered these for the past 3 years and they always came in the signature blue color on the left so immediately I got to thinking it was a Counterfeit! BUT it has the right weight as the brass rings are heavier compared to Fake filter, it uses all the right fonts, and I checked the web and forums label this as a official branding! Its weird because the FAKE versions also use a black box but their are distinct differences to spot a FAKE so now Im really confused! Ill take my chances for now since I cannot leave my lens without protection! Rather break a $35 filter versus my $800 lens! Hopefully someone can clarify this later down the road!

I bought this piece to protect the main lens of my Canon EOS 7D. It fits well. I simply use it for that purpose and I havent tested it for anything else.

Simply put, there are more affordable options that provide more than adequate if not equal optics for the money. But if you swap filters often enough youll probably find that B+Ws filters have less issues with flex and, more importantly, soft (i.e., easily damaged) threads like those sold by Tiffen and Hoya that Ive experienced in the past. Cross-threading a filter is NOT my idea of providing nice treatment to any of those expensive lenses of mine, and having done that once or twice in my lifetime Ive sworn that I will always do my best to get the best-made filters available to protect and use on MY glass, even if it costs a bit more. Any filter can be damaged, but Ive had great experiences with B+W products and until they prove themselves otherwise unworthy, will continue to use them again and again.
