B+W 30mm Ultraviolet (UV) Filter
The 30mm Ultraviolet (UV) Filter from B+W is a wise initial investment. It helps protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs.
B+W UV filters are excellent general purpose filters since they 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.
A UV filter is the best available protection for the front element of your lens. A lens that accidentally gets dropped on its front element while hiking can potentially be saved by purchasing this item. Some people refer to them as "cheap insurance".
Aside from that more-than-significant benefit, UV filters cut through some of the haze in the atmosphere rendering your photos clearer, sharper and more contrasty. For those who enjoy outdoor photography, especially distant vistas, a UV filter can produce a more distinct image by removing much of the blue tint normally associated with atmospheric haze.
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.
- B+W filters provide additional benefits of correction for Ultraviolet(UV) light which can register on film and videotape as a bluish cast and can obscure distant details
- If desired they can be left on the lens at all times for protection
- Ultraviolet filters allow you to correct for the UV effect to varying degrees
- UV filters are ideal for high altitude photography, by the sea and in regions with very clean air

Comments about B+W 30mm Ultraviolet (UV) Filter:
Got it for reducing glare and protecting lens on my Sony CX150. Was expecting this filter to be black but it is in aluminum silver color finish. Actually, it looks really great and matching chrome accents on my black camcorder.
Quality of glass is excellent and not distorting colors. Do not see any other defects. Threaded for attaching something else, like - a lens hood. Very happy with this model. Comfortably recommending this thing to anyone who is looking for high quality filter.

I purchased the B&W30mm UV Haze Filter to protect the Lens on my Sony DCR-HC52 MiniDV Camcorder.
Sure you can purchase a less expensive filter but NO ONE beats the quality of B&W Filters & Polarizers!
