Great Filter!
(5 out of 5) by Jason Roberts on Aug 23, 2007 (Denver, CO USA)This filter is a bit expensive, but worth every penny. I purchased this filter for the Canon 50mm f1.4 lense on my Rebel XT. It creates wonderful dark blue skys. I uploaded two sample images as examples.

An Exceptional Filter
(5 out of 5) by . on Sep 14, 2007 (San Francisco, CA)I bought this filter after owning a number of other CL Polarizing filters. When I took this filter out of the packaging, I could tell it was exceptionally well-made. The glass is clean and the case is metal. I will not buy another brand of filter anymore.

The best glass for your best glass!
(5 out of 5) by John A. Fugel on Apr 11, 2009 (Roanoke, VA USA)I've used filters by many manufacturers, including Nikon, Hoya and Tiffen on my Nikon pro lenses. B+W filters are far and away the best. Superb quality glass and great craftsmanship make these a must for any serious photographer. Yes, they cost a little more, but why would you put a second-rate filter on a $1000+ lens?
You can't go wrong with B+W.

An excellent CPL filter
(5 out of 5) by Craig Dickson on Apr 4, 2009 (San Mateo, CA USA)I have circular polarizers by a few other manufacturers (Sigma, Hoya, and one that has no name on it that came with a used lens I bought), and of the lot, I like the B+W the best. Its optical quality is excellent (one takes this for granted with B+W): no visible distortion, with good multi-coating to reduce flare. It is also wonderfully well constructed. It screws into place on my lens very smoothly. The rotating ring is damped a bit more than the ones on my other polarizers, requiring a little more effort to turn -- not so much as to be difficult or annoying, but enough to give it the feeling of a very solid, precision-made instrument that won't drift out of position by itself.
B+W filters are not cheap, but they're the best.

B + W makes a great product.
(5 out of 5) by T. Dollear on Jul 30, 2008 (NC)Not much to say about this except it's very well made. The fact that it's brass means it had a nice feel/weight to it and smoothly goes on the lens/uv filter. The polarizer itself is very nice too. I have owned cheaper polarizers and UV filters but have swapped all of them out for B + W because they really do make superior stuff.
Also, I have a canon 50mm f1.4 and 100mm f2.8 macro, both of which take a 58mm filter size so it does double duty.
