B&W photographic filters are among the best. Those people who go to buy good quality filters know this already. In this instance vendor had a good deal on Amazon, I needed one and bought it.
Now some useful input...
There is big debate among photographers about the usefulness of filters as lens protector. If you can afford to replace damaged lens perhaps you can live without filter otherwise buy good quality like B&W. Think of it as insurance policy.

I have no personal experience of other filters as I did my research and settled on B&W's MRC range as the best available. But I already have two of these to protect my L lenses and have never noticed any degredation in image quality - the one time my shots suffered from image flare from long exposures at night at f/22 (not unusual even with the best lenses) I removed the filter and it made no difference.
Also, I had one of the non-MRC filters fitted to my Canon 24-70 f/2.8L lens when it took a tumble while on holiday - I was trying to pack for home but had barely recovered from a burning fever of some sort so wasn't thinking properly. My camera, with lens attached, took a tumble onto a wooden floor - the filter smashed and was bent, but other than the smallest of scratches on the outer element of my lens from the broken filter glass, there wasn't a mark on my lens. I took it to a specialist to remove the bent filter and have the lens mechanism checked out and a year later the lens hasn't missed a beat.
Without the filter attached this could have been VERY expensive. Even if insured (I am), the cost of this filter is less than most insurance excesses, and besides, if your lens takes a knock with this fitted you won't miss out on shots while your lens is fixed.
Note, though, that stacking this filter with others, say polarisers, can cause vignetting on the wide end of zoom lenses. Changing filters is difficult though as you end up juggling with lots of bits of glass. I am about to muy a third filter for my latest lens and had wondered about one of B+W's slim models but at nearly twice the price I don't think they're good value.
Some people don't like filters for protection but I think they're worth it - the best ones shouldn't degrade image quality at all. But don't buy an expensive lens and then stick a cheap filter on it; that makes no sense. Spend a few quid more and get this. You won't regret it.

Just received my B+W UV filter and I must say that just from feel alone you get the sense that it's a high quality product.
I was stuck choosing between B+W and Hoya and finally settled on the B+W as I did with my Polariser, and am very happy I did.
I've a number of Hoya filter and they really do tend to smear when cleaned. Having just cleaned my new B+W UV filter, I didn't find or see a single smear.
I know this sounds a little silly to be writing about how well the products cleans or not but I really didn't see the point of writing about the merits of using a UV filter as I'm aware there are two schools of thought about these. If you're reading this review then I'm guessing you're in my camp and see these as protection for your lens.
I personally do NOT consider a low end/low cost filter to be acceptable. Many of these exist - do NOT buy them. They will degrade the quality of your pictures with contrast and flare being the primary issues. Image sharpness can be affected. You spent a lot of money for your camera and lens in quest of good quality pictures. Don't throw away your investment with a cheap UV filter.

Brilliant Filter. Don't buy cheap lookalikes!
Opinion is mixed about whether UV filters are worthwhile. Certainly, modern digital cameras don't need the "cut the haze" feature that was important for film cameras. Read more
