Does anyone have this filter and the B+W 77mm Clear UV Haze with Multi-Resistant Coating? Do you prefer one over the other?

I don't use clear filters because they can have a distorting. I use my polarizer and ND filters but that's it.

Hi Lisa, they are both amazing filters. The Kaesemann is especially useful as both a neutral density and reflection reduction/cloud enhancer. As a neutral density filter it will allow you to use a wide aperture for background and foreground out of focus effect. The Kaesemann filter has a layer that is resistant to degradation even with wide temperature swings. You just need to take several pictures, rotating the filter until you get the best effect. Once you have that effect, the clarity of images with clouds can be even further enhanced with post processing like LightRoom. I recommend this filter. Hi Lisa, they are both amazing filters.

So... these filters serve two different purposes. The UV filter that I purchased is on my lens to protect the first element when I'm in situations that require me to be less than 100% diligent about where my lens is. A hood serves the same purpose so I supposed it is kinda redundant redundant... The Circular Polarizer is designed to reduce glare coming off of non-metallic surfaces. It can add "pop" to landscapes and cloud scapes much in the same way that polarized sunglasses do for your eyes. They do reduce the amount of light that makes it to your sensor and you'll need to take this into consideration. Hope that helps. So... these filters serve two different purposes.

I think as long as the thread is 77mn it should work, I use it with a cannon 24-105 and it has become my favorite filter, but I cannot assure you it will work the same with your lens, I have a bunch of lee filters but none of them has the same strength in stopping light as the B&W;, the camera reading of how to set the shutter speed is always wrong but I have learnt that I have to shoot at a much longer exposure than what the camera is telling me, keep that in mind if you decide to try it. I absolutely love it! BTW what negative effect do you get with the polarizer?

Surprisingly, Yes! These filters are multi- coated... Go figure! This is an awesome deal! I was ridiculously surprised when I revived these!

As trivial as it may seem, don't skimp on a filter. You have a nice camera, so get a MULTI-COATED filter from someone like B&W, Heliopan, or Hoya. The multi-coatings reduce flare and reflections, just like your multi-coated Nikon lens -- again, don't skimp, it'll truly reduce the quality of your photo's especially in sunlight. The size of the filter should be imprinted on the lens, and yes, it's 67mm. A good filter is somewhere in the $50 neighborhood.

My 58mm B+W UV filters both came in a 77mm case... they slide around a lot horizontally, but I don't think the glass ends up touching anything..

I would wager based on my experience with the B&W; standard lens filters that you would see some vignetting on both of these filters, even with the 010M I have to be aware of a slight darkening of the edges of my photo if I back off to 17mm ( I currently shoot a 17-40mm lens) The polarizer will definitely vignette. To avoid this issue I'd go with the "Slim" model filters B&W; produces for wide angle lenses.

thank you for your recommendations. i've bought the hoya shmc filters for my lenses. they're great.do you have the sigma 50mm f1.4 lens? if yes, what are you shooting? do you flickr?thanks again.

I use sigma filters on all of my lenses and have had no problems with smudging when cleaning. I use a nikon cleaning pen generally when I clean and all of my filters stay spotless.

Yes a UV filter will fit. 77mm is the size. I use a UV on all my lenses and have done so for 40+ years. With the 11-18mm super-wide I do not experience any vignetting with the filter. Vignetting is darkening in the corners of your pictures. All superwides are vulnerable. I really like this lens.For all specs go to: http://store.sony.com/WFS/SNYUS/en_US/-/USD/-zid27-SAL1118/cat-27-catid-All-Alpha-DSLR-Lenses?k_id=_kenshoo_clickid_&kpid;=SAL1118&adparam;=sem73pla&XID;=O:SAL1118:dg_gglsrch:pla&cagpspn;=pla&gclid;=CKL1vvGW58ACFbRzMgod7gYAhw

UV(C) passes much more ultraviolet light than UV(0) filters. Additionally, the Pro 1 coating is a little more transparent and easier to clean. Finally, the Pro1 rim is higher quality. See hoya's website below: http://www.hoyafilter.com/hoya/products/generalfilters/uvcslimframe/

Make sure the filter has a firm, solid rotation feel without being loose or gritty. Scratches that are deep are to be avoided whereas minor scratches won't be noticed unless the coatings are scratched. Also make sure there is absolutely NO damage to the filter ring or threads whatsoever - if it has been dropped while mounted on a lens it could be out-of-round and become stuck on your lens if overtightened. Insist on a photo or two showing any imperfections or just buy new. B+W is my filter of choice.

I just looked at mine and it shows "B+W 58 010 UV - Haze 1x MRC". Not sure if you can specify the exact one you want in this listing. The manufacturers website is at: https://www.schneideroptics.com/Ecommerce/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?CID=630&IID=5722 B&H Photo says the filter factor is 1.0.

Ive found these to be very nice filters. No glare that wasn't already existent in the lens to begin with. No UV filter will wipe out all glare or lens flares that are already from the lens. The key is to not add any more of its own.

If you are taking snapshots with a DSLR then almost any UV filter can protect the lens. I prefer to spend minimal time in post production and typically purchase B&W; because they seem to have the best coatings and glass. Some less expensive filters will produce strange distortions and colors in photographs.

Hi Keith, I do not use filters on my lenses. I do use the lens hoods. After 33 years as a professional photographer I find the filters a bit of a pain.

77mm. Amazon will make the filter suggestion for you. I got a B+W branded Haze filter which works well and doesn't give me the back scatter reflections of ultra bright objects a cheaper lens does. For further information, go to the blog photographylife.com (I think that's the address) where they have an extensive review of this lens. It convinced me that this was the best all-in-one lens (where I never had to change a lens from wide to telephoto that most kits have two). Also, there is a Nikon 750 kit special right now with a total overall savings of $600.

Amazon sells a Tiffen 77mm UV Protection filter that should work with this camera. I haven't tried it myself but, you could always return it, if it doesn't work out for you.
