This is a high end filter by B+W and it is meant to protect your lens and filter out the UV from the sun rays.

Just what I needed for the Tokina 12-24 for Nikon. Customer service assisted in recommending this filter. While a bit expensive for UV filter it really is very satisfactory. Lens cover falls off easily because it does not have spring clips to fasten to inside of rim. Is a thin filter and can not accomodate this type lens cover.

I would totally give this 5 stars if it wasn't for the lens cap. I need the slim to prevent vignetting when using it on the wide end of my 24-70 on a full-frame sensor. Because it's slim, there isn't enough lip to catch a standard lens cap on. It comes with a plastic cover that just pops over the end, but it's loose and just falls off half the time.

I bought this for my Canon 10-22mm wide angle. If you have a nice lens you must get some decent glass in the filters. B&W has great quality and a great 10yr warranty.

B+W makes Great Filters, I bought this one for my canon 10-22mm lens thinking I needed a really slim filter but I wish i had bought the slim with threads so i could use the stock cover. the cover provided works but comes off to easy.... guess I'll need to order another one ....

I bought this filter to protect a 17-40L and 135L from Hawaiian sea spray. It does the job without appreciably affecting the image quality or causing any vignetting. Won't fit well on some telephotos with hood and step up from 72mm filter size, but that's to be expected. The slim profile could cause some issues with stock lens caps, but if you need to weather seal your lens this filter will not get in your way.

Good B+W Filter. Clear optics, no ghosting.

Only downside is having to use push-on lens cap.

Great Slim filter. The brass threads really do help with the filter non binding up.

Comments about B+W 77mm UV Haze 010 MRC Filter (Slim):

As expected the filter is excellent optical quality and construction. Even though it is the slimest filter I was able to find, there is still some slight vignetting at wide end on SIGMA 17-50mm lens.

Have learned that it is unwise to skimp on a filter, especially when it is going over an expensive piece of glass.

No distortion on the edges of the picture (used on nikon 10-24mm lens) clean and solid construction

I bought this filter specifically for its slimness for use with a Canon 17-40, f4 L series Lens. I use it primarily for landscapes and architectural shots. It's slimness assures reduced to no vignetting as might be common place for filters with thicker frames on wide angle lens. It has been surpringly efficient in that regard, but I have also found it to be very proficient at penetrating haze.....moreso than for some other brands I've purchased for which I have paid more. The frame of the B&W is beautifully machined and the optics superior to other filters I've bought in the past. You will immediately notice the ease and smoothness with which this filter threads to your lens. The filter is a bit heftier than competing brands since it employs a solid brass frame as opposed to aluminum. Precision maching is immediately appreciated.....no biding....no drag......no cross threading. Over time, it is my intention to replace those others with B&W optics. They are noticebly better products. Do not get hung up on all the comments in the logs about your Canon lens cap not working with this filter. B&W provides a Schneider Optics lens cap that works just fine and I have not experience it "falling off the lens" as some have claimed. Buy the filter.....you'll appreciate its refinements over competing brands.

A great addition to my gear.

Its easy and smooth to screw on. Best for wide angle lenses.

Comments about B+W 77mm UV Haze 010 MRC Filter (Slim):

This is my first B&W filter, but it won't be my last. I have bought competing brands that are more expesive, but they have neither the build quality nor the feel of the B&W. But real proof of performance is in the fact that they absolutely penetrate haze without in any way affecting color or tonal balance. Much was said about the use of brass vs. aluminum for the ring. I dismissed it casually until I got the filter in the mail....it has a degree of heft to it that the competing brands don't have. It is beautifully machined and it threads to my Canon 17-40 L lens like it was made for it. The hand-held sunset shots that I took casually last night has caused me to consider replacement of the other UV/haze filters that I purchased for my other L glasses. Finally, much was said about not being able to use a Canon lens cap with this lens and the supplied Schneider Optics lens capped was criticized. I found that the supplied lens cap works just fine. Don't let that deter you from enjoying a great pice of gear.

I bought this filter to pair with a Nikkor 10 - 24mm zoom to protect the front element and to help minimize vignetting, it does the job.
B+W ( Schnieder ) quality is legendary, I use a 010 UV/Haze filter on all my lenses, it is a very effective haze / UV filter, second to none. As with many things in life you get what you pay for, with filters this is particularly true, I know of at least one major manufacturer who uses nothing much better that window glass in their filters. I don't see the point of spending $'s on superior optics if the first piece of glass the light passes through is inferior, which is why I always use B+W.
The slimness of this filter ring means this particular filter should be treated with more care, however as I can see no reason to remove it except perhaps to replace it with a pola filter, this should not be an issue in most cases.
Recommended.

I bought this product to weatherproof my 17-40mm canon lens for a trip to Hawaii. It saved my front element from salt spray while introducing no discernible image degradation or vignetting. Can't ask for more than that...except maybe front threads...?

Love the quality of the item and how it fits, does everything it suppose to and looking good doing it. I definitely need to get more of these in the future.

Comments about B+W 77mm UV Haze 010 MRC Filter (Slim):

This filter fits nice and snug on my canon 17-40 lens. The slim designs aids in providing less distortion. B+W is definately a product you can trust. I do hope they will change the design of these slim filters to accept a standard snap on lens cover. The soft cover they give is ok, but falls off too easily. Other than that a well built, good performing filter.

After discussing various options for high quality protection for the front element of the lens on my Sony PMW-EX3 with the engineers at both Scheider, B&W and Tiffen, I chose this filter, and it was worth every penny I spent on it.
