Product Details of B+W 77mm Circular Polarizer MRC Glass Filter Slim

Description

Highly efficient standard circular polarizing filter for all cameras with beam splitters in the light paths of their TTL exposure meter and with autofocus lenses. Circular polarization has the same pictorial effect as linear polarization, but allows for proper exposure metering and/or autofocus distance settings. MRC (Multi-Resistant Coating) by B+W is not only an extraordinarily effective multiple layer coating, it is also harder than glass, so that it protects filters from scratches (for instance when cleaning the filters), and it is also water and dirt repellent, thus facilitating filter maintenance.

Great Filter

Strengths: Good Optical Quality

Weakness: Delicate, Pricey, Lens Cap

It is loose and falls off easily. What's left after it falls off is a very expensive piece of glass to get scratched.

B+W 77mm Polarizing Filter Filter

Weakness: Cost, some uneveness.

I use this filter on top of the standard B+W UV filter on my 24-70 f/2.8L lens. I see little vignetting on my EOS 30D which is 1.6x crop factor camera. Your mileage may vary on the full frame or 1.3 and 1.5x cameras. Excellent at what it does, but not without flaws. At well over a $100, it has some uneveness when you're not fully at 90 deg. That to me is a bit bothersome. Other than that, solid...
