B+W XS-Pro Digital
Ultimate Protection
Better technology, better protection, advanced cleaning system. The premium range of B+W makes the delights of the most demanding photographers. They are made from MRC multi-coated glass, which ensures better contrast and brighter colour, plus additional protection to both the filter and the lens, along with greater ease of cleaning and reduction of parasite reflections.
Ensures high light transmission
Reduces glare and ghosting
Greater cleaning ease
The nano treatment given to its surface, produces a decomposition effect on liquids called "lotus effect". In other words, at the time of contact with the glass, a drop breaks down into dozens of smaller drops that literally slide across the surface of the glass (as the lotus flower does above the water).
MRC nano coating
- Nanotechnology is the base of the glass of XS-Pro filters.
Clear XS-Pro MRC Nano
This filter responds to the desire of many photographers to have a pure protective lens that does not offer filter effects. Its function is to keep the lens protected from dirt, sand, splashes and any possible knock on the lens. The high clarity and high transmittance glass has a Nano MRC finish, which ensures better contrast and brighter colour, as well as providing additional protection to the filter and lens, along with greater ease of cleaning and reduction of parasite reflections.Its frame is especially thin, oriented for angle lenses and zooms, and is made of solid metal with matte black finish to prevent reflections. It also incorporates a front thread for accessories such as lens caps.
Features
- Made of high quality optical glass
- Suitable for angle lenses and zooms
- They have a front thread to incorporate additional filters, sunshades or lens caps
- Matte black interior finish to prevent glare

Product description
Product Description
This filter fulfills the desire of many photographers for pure lens protection without a filter effect. Its only function is to keep dirt, sand, or splashes away from the front lens. The extremely clear special glass with high transmission is MRC-finished.
Manufacturer's Description
This filter fulfils the desire of many photographers for pure lens protection without a filter effect. Its only function is to keep dirt, sand, or splashes away from the front lens.
The extremely clear Schott glass has a MRC Nano technology multi coating. This new coating is an improved version of the MRC technology used by B+W. The MRC coating is first and foremost a broadband anti-reflection coating, improving image quality. But MRC by B+W is not only an extraordinarily effective multiple layer coating, it is also harder than glass, so that it protects filters from scratches (for instance when cleaning the filters), and it is also water and dirt repellent.The MRC Nano layer has been strengthened to help resist damage to the glass while a hydrophobic coating means that resistance to dirt is increased and filter cleaning is easy .
XS-PRO Nano filters feature an extremely thin filter mount to help reduce the chance of vignetting.Despite the thin construction the mount has a front thread so further accessories such as additional filters, lens hoods or snap-in lens caps can be fitted.
B+W filters are made with Schott glass which guarantees the very highest glass quality. Good quality cameras and lenses are a major investment and at B+W we believe that if you should have the best quality filters. There’s no point in buying an expensive, optically superior lens, only to put a piece of inferior glass over the front of it!
B+W filters all feature brass mounts, designed to fix the high-quality filter glass in position “for life”. Brass mounts won’t bind with your lens thread, or other filters – a major advantage over cheaper filters.

I have used B+W's cheaper protection filters but those were just OK and not as good as cheaper Japanese filters. This product is definitely one grade above the cheaper B+W ones as there is virtually no loss of image quality that I can detect. It also doesn't seem to negatively affect flaring either.
I already had some old and cheap UV-filters for my 35-mm film camera already, but they were un-coated and totally useless, since digital camera sensors are already protected against UV rays, so these old filters just gave a purple/darker tint to the images shot with the new camera, introducing ugly flares and reflections on every shot including a front-facing direct light source.
So, initially I tried to find the cheapest _coated_ protection filter I could find, but soon I realized that most of the cheapest one were either un-coated, or their coating was negligible, according to the opinions of other Amazon buyers. So, in the end I decided to buy this one, even if it costed slightly more than most other ones, due to the good reputation of this brand, and to its specific and peculiar characteristics.
1) It is a _german-made_ "digital" filter, designed specifically for digital cameras, so no unwanted and useless "anti-UV" color casts or darker images;
2) It includes a _real_ anti-reflective coating, a feature I could verify as soon as I opened its package, by simply looking at the very dim, dark green reflections coming from its front surface (to explain what I mean, try to compare the mirror-like reflections produced by a cheaply-coated or uncoated piece of glass/filter and the dim green or blue reflections produced by good, coated prescription glasses, or simply those produced by any good coated camera lens front glass...)
3) It offers what the manufacturer calls XSPD mount, i.e. a _very_ thin mount that only leaves a minimal space between the back surface of the filter and the front surface of the lens, which is very important to avoid catching more reflected light rays between the two of them, and also reduces the total length/weight of the lens, especially if you are going to add more accessories/filters/converters/etc. in front of it;
4) It is clearly manufactured in a professional way: it is very sturdy, even if very thin, and the glass does not wobble/rotate at all inside the frame, something that often happens with cheaper filters;
5) It is packed in a nice and sturdy case including thick protective padding;
6) The threading is incredibly precise, and - even on such a thin ring - it allows to mount more filters/accessories/etc. on the front of the filter. Moreover, there is enough space on the front to allow easily the insertion of a lens cap with springed "hooks" inside the filter;
Considering that the price I paid for this filter, when I ordered it, was not excessively higher than the price of many sub-standard, no-quality, uncoated or falsely coated filter available, I consider it a real bargain, even if it just protects the lens and does not improve the image quality in any way: in my opinion, it is definitely preferable to invest a little more in an important accessory like this, rather than sparing a few pounds by choosing cheap ones, and risking to compromise the quality of ALL your shots with horrible reflections, think about it...
After all, optics is one of those fields in which cheaper is _never_ better, believe me!
