Wow!
I love this UV/IC Cut MRC (Multi-Resistant Coating) filter. This is the fifth B+W filter that I have bought. I am always impressed with the precision and glass quality. If you need Professional quality, the F-Pro does not disappoint.

Recently, my wife and I purchased a Rodenstock for her Canon L series lense, because the retailer in Palo Alto was out of B+W in a 77mm. The Brodenstock satisfies, but this new B+W pleases. This is an excellent investment to protect you expense professional series lenses. The glass is perfection, and the brass fits perfectly.

The Critic Was Wrong
I wrote to a critic at Shutterbug magazine, asking if he had had any experience with this filter. He said not to believe the hype, and that he refused to believe that the built-in filtration in today's digital cameras is not enough. He's wrong. I've used this filter on several occasions with a variety of subject matter. I can see a difference, particularly in telephoto range. It is on the expensive side, but I think it is worth it.

A great filter IF your sensor needs it...
THE FIVE STARS ARE FOR THE BUILD AND QUALITY OF THIS FILTER... BUT YOU MAY NOT NEED IR FILTRATION...

I shoot with a canon 7D and specifically bypassed the L series glass for the superior Carl Zeiss older (leaded glass) lenses. Among these are a 35mm Jena fleck, a 50mm planar and a 35mm-70mm (OM Zuiko).
Because I primarily shoot video and work within an incredibly unforgiving 8 bit color space, I want my in-camera footage as perfect as possible. The contrast of older German glass is beautiful and this filter preserves all of the deep, rich blacks.

I did an incredible amount of research and testing, and was going to commit to Tiffen filters (primarily because of Shane Hurlbut's line of WATER WHITE nd filters made for neutral color casts).
B+W filters are without question the sharpest, most neutral, and well built filters I've used. They are the only filter I will foreseeably buy...

BUT-

I purchased this filter after research done...
