4.0 out of 5 stars Great optics but annoying cap
I bought this filter to use on my Canon 16-35 L. As with any B&W product, the optics is superb. But the lens cap is really bad (you can't use the original Canon cap with the filter). It seens like a minor detail but the cap falls from the lens very easily,speacially during transportation.That can lead to a scratch in the filter or loss of it. When you pay $180 dollars for...

3.0 out of 5 stars Thin but maybe too much!
Good product but so thin that the regular Canon cap won't hold on top of the filter. The B+W cap provided with the filter doesn't stick in place and is falling constantly

When you pay $180 dollars for a filter, you expect it to be perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars I guess the fixed the cap, December 12, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: B+W 82mm Slim-Line Clear UV Haze with Multi-Resistant Coating (010M) (Electronics)
It's a filter. It works like every other B+W filter. I got it for my 16-35. I guess they fixed the cap because I haven't had a problem with mine. The cap is snug, or at least, snug enough. No problems with flare or anything like that.

Not much to say about this filter. B+W makes the best filters hands down. They cost a pretty penny, but I'm not about to put a $15 filter in front of a $2,000 lens. Slim filters should be used on wide angle lenses to avoid vignetting around the edges. Only downside about slim filters is that lens caps do not work because the filter itself is too thin. This filter does come with an end cap to cover the filter. It's not great, but it does the job.

The filter is great but the slip on cap just doesn't work in the field or in my camera bag. It is always off the filter. Time for a new cap design that grips the filter.

3.0 out of 5 stars Can't use stock lens cap, December 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Seemed like a good quality item, but the lip on it is not big enough for my stock Canon clip on lens cap to grab. But I guess that's what they mean by slim. I returned it. Wanted to use my stock cap.

When you buy anything, cost is relative. I chose this B+W filter because my experience with my other B+W filters have been superb. I just purchased a Canon L lens, and wouldn't ever want to chance my photos with anything less. Besides, the filter is made in Germany--Germans make the best products!

5.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying Product & Fast Delivery, April 11, 2010

Received the product fours day after placing the purchase order. Bought to fit Canon 50D with an 18-200 lens.
Nice filter and the cap-though not as delicate as the filter-fits well so far.
