Perfect Lens Protection October 15, 2008
I use the B & W UV glass filters on all of my lenses. They do tend to be expensive but so are my Nikon Lenses so the match-up is needed! You cannot go wrong with these products.
 Fits Well September 19, 2008
Not much to say except that it fits well, works with the lens cap. looks strong. what can i say, its a uv glass filter, cant get any better than that. :)
B+W 72E CLEAR UV HAZE MRC (010M) (I believe) with Nikkor 18-200 September 1, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Been my first time on Amazon and english not my motherlanguage I was full of doubts, but, following one step after another, everything was clarified and I had a good surprise at the end, as I could pay in euros. Delivery was as previewed, so I am perfectly satisfied with service.
About the filter, I am no expert, but after searching a lot, I concluded that B+W were optically at least one of the best and their MRC (Multi Resistent Coating) an aditional advantage. My doubts:
1- Slim or "normal" (this item). One hard to find information was the real differences between them (perhaps too evident for someone that had the filter in his hand, which was not my case), finally I believed that I found out that the slim version was slimmer because there was no outer thread, so also no possibility to attach a second filter and also the lens cap would not fit well. But (I read) B+W would advise to use the slim version with lenses with focal lenghts under 28 mm because of vignetting, and my Nikkor 18-200 is equivalent to 27 mm in wide angle. I decided to take the risk, and after a few trials, I see no vignetting. Attached, the filter only shows a thickness of 4 mm (better than an older 62 mm filter (for another lens) I have with 5 mm. The lens cap fits perfectly.
2- Filter identification: At Schneider they call the filter 72E CLEAR UV HAZE MRC (010M), that is not exactly like at Amazon (the all important MRC misses), fortunatly the item number 66-070243 clarified and the filter I received has MRC written on it.
3- Price: "A UV filter should be cheap" (I think), don't they say it protects our expensive lenses? I would say 5% of the lens value would be the most, that was not the case here, but with the help of Amazon I could make it for 9%... (well, at least I have the best filter in the world).
GOOD PIECE OF GEAR August 30, 2008
This is a superior German product. I use this with my Nikon 18-200mm lens. Sure, you can buy a cheaper filter but you have to ask yourself why you would spend a lot of money on your lens and then use an inferior filter. It really doesn't make sense.
Protected my nikon 18-200mm Lens in a fall June 2, 2008
This is an excellent filter that protected my nikon 18-200mm lens when I dropped the camera onto a concrete floor at a busy subway station in Kyoto. The camera fell with lens facing the floor and smashed the lens cap into the B&W filter, cracking the filter into 10 different shards. However, once I took the filter off, my nikon 18-200mm lens was not damaged and there was not a single scratch on it. I use that lens for the rest of the trip without any problem at all. I will be buying a replacement B&W filter since it's an excellent insurance for expensive lens.
