These are simply the best filters on the Market, yes they cost quite a bit more than your high street brands but you will notice the difference in front of high quality glass, worth every penny.

Excellent glass, no flares or artifacts
7 Jan 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I was using an Quantaray Pro Digital filter and getting green spots from flares even with a hood. The lens was a Canon 70-200mm f/4L and it can flare sometimes without a hood, but the Quantaray filter created strange artifacts even with the hood. I switched to this B+W filter and no problems since.
I have switched entirely to B+W for all my filters except for some Cokin specialty filters which I don't want to buy for each camera and lens.

Best Prosumer Filters
17 Oct 2004
I have purchased filters made by Tiffen, Hoya, Heliopan, and B+W. B+W filters are made by Schneider optics, the same company that now owns Century Precision Optics. The Century lenses are the best out there, and the B+W filters meet the top standards as well. The metal frame on the filter is very solid and strong, I once had a Tiffen filter that got bent when trying to attach a wide angle lens onto it. And, trust me, I did not force it. The B+W is much heavier and more solid, the glass seems to have more quality and density to it as well. As for the performance, it is much clearer than the competitors and definitely performs better under high-resolution situations. No color distortion or image quality distortion whatsoever. From now on, B+W filters are the only ones that I will buy. I just wish that Amazon carried more of them.

Go for the B+W version with MRC instead
28 Nov 2010
While it is expensive, go with the
B+W 62mm UVA (Ultra Violet) Haze MRC Filter #010
version instead with the MRC coating.
There are two aspects to a protective filter, one is the degree in which the filter does not give any ghosting, minimizes flare, while keeping an optically pure path.
This and other multi-coated filters will do this fine, such as hoya, sigma, b+w (not tiffen, bower, and brand x)
The next step is durability.
I have several sigma filters, and while they are optically great, the coating on them is very fragile, i.e., they gets knicks in the coating from even a bit of dust it seems, maybe some wind blew a bit of sand, but very fragile.
I have not had the couple hoyas long enough to tell, seem better than the sigmas in terms of durability, however from reviews i have read it is an issue.
I did some research into the MRC coating that some of the B+W filters have, which the manufacturer claims is harder than glass. I have this same type of coating on a pair of eyeglasses and it is the first eyeglasses i have had that do not get scratched (over 2+ years).
Basically, if you want the filter to still be in good shape over time, then get the hardened coating instead, which for this filter is the
B+W 62mm UVA (Ultra Violet) Haze MRC Filter #010
(Notice the MRC as part of the product name), it cost about $20 more, but what to do?
