B+W 77mm UV Haze 010  MRC Filter (Slim)
For illustrative purpose only

A B+W 77mm Haze (UV) MRC Filter is a wise initial investment. It helps protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs. If desired it can be left on the lens at all times for protection. A haze filter provides additional benefits of correction for Ultraviolet (UV) light which can register on film and videotape as a bluish cast and can obscure distant details. An ultraviolet filter allows you to correct for the UV effect to varying degrees.

A B+W UV MRC filter is an excellent general purpose filter since it will not only protect your front element from airborne contaminants as well as fingerprints but also help you get better images at high altitude and while on the water. Using this filter will diminish the bluish cast caused by the various atmospheric factors, yet, it will not have an effect on the color balance of your shot. No increase in exposure is required.

The filter ring is made from brass yielding a stronger product. Brass filter rings are also less prone to jamming. In addition, the seal between the glass and filter ring is exceptionally strong giving the filter added strength and durability. The excellent Schott Glass used in the manufacturing of this filter is legendary and synonymous with the highest standards of filter production. It comes with a solid 10-year warranty.

The MRC coating on this filter adds to its durability - particularly under less than optimal weather conditions. In addition, the hard coating makes cleaning the filter easier - especially when it comes to removing fingerprints or surface dirt. Moreover, this filter benefits users of digital cameras whose shorter focal length lenses are more susceptible to dirt and other contaminants on the front lens element.

Multi-coated to minimize reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting.

B&W slim filters are for wide-angle lenses and are 3mm thick. They do not have a front thread.

    This filter is something I consider necessary for someone using a wide angle lens. I just bought this filter to use with my Nikkor 12-24mm lens and it works great. There are 77mm filters that are the standard thickness, but you will get more vignetting with those since they'll cover the edge of the lens. With this filter I only see slight vignetting when I have my lens at 12mm. If I change this to 12.5 to 13mm it goes away. I have seen other reviews where people complain about the lens cover that is included with this lens. Yes, it does come off occaisionally, and NO you cannot use your standard lens cap while this filter is attached to your lens. However, the product description tells you this information, so it should be no surprise. I don't consider this to be a problem. I'd rather use the snap on cap that comes with the filter and be able to use the filter (mainly to protect my lens) than to go without it. This filter is a little more expensive than some other brands, but in most cases you get what you pay for.

    I'm only giving this product 3 stars because while the glass itself is flawless, I didn't realize that my lens cap wouldn't fit on it. Because the glass is so slim, you can't use a regular sized lens cap. Instead you have to use this lens cap that comes with it, that sort of fits over it. This is made of plastic and doesn't stay on very well. In the end, I sent the filters back and got the non-slim one (BWUVMC77).

    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.

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

    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 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.

              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.

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

                  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.

                            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.

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

                              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.

                                    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.
