This high-quality broadband coating is applied on both sides and enhances the optical imaging properties, allowing uniform and increased transmittance across the entire light spectrum to be achieved, with minimal physically induced remaining reflection. The nano all-around protection on the filter glass also ensures increased scratch resistance and extremely fast, easy cleaning, providing a long filter life. The slim filter ring design is compatible with wide-angle lenses with an equivalent width of a 17mm full-frame lens. The top knurling is redesigned for enhanced gripping.

I've used B & W filters for fifty years now--with film and now digital. No issues then or now with this new one. Well constructed, it practically threads itself on to the lens I bought it for. I can't imagine there's really much in the way of anything better.

There When I Want It

I shoot 35mm black and white and color film, and the 35mm f/2 lens is my standard lens. So this filter comes on and off my 35mm lens whenever I change film stocks. The filter frame is wide, with knurling, so the filter is easy to hold onto, and the brass threads give a positive click when they line up with the lead in on the lens threads. This makes the filter easy to install, even while the camera is around your neck. Then there is contrast, the contrast on Tri-X 400 is what I would expect from a filter described as a Wratten #8. I will be getting the orange and red, maybe even the dark red as well for my to trip to Albuquerque/Los Alamos NM, for both my 35mm and my 135mm lenses.
