Why Buy B+W filters
What are filters? In photographic terms, a filter is something that allows certain types of light to pass through the filter and blocks (or reduces) other types of light. Filters solve and enhance a great variety of tasks in photography.
Filters match the illumination to the type of colour, they enhance contrast and colours, filters make it possible to achieve photographs that simply could not be made without them - many of which could not be accomplished with subsequent digital image manipulation.
Why B+W over other brands?
- B+W filters have been made with Schott glass which guarantees the very highest glass quality. Good quality cameras and lenses are a major investment and at B+W we believe that if you should have the best quality filters. There’s no point in buying an expensive, optically superior lens, only to put a piece of inferior glass over the front of it!
- B+W filters are also coated with state of the art coatings – B+W are the first filter manufacturer in the world to offer multi resistant coatings (MRC). The coatings are extremely low-reflective and highly resistant to scratching, but above all the unique dirt and water-repellent surface makes cleaning the filters easier.
- B+W filters all feature brass mounts, designed to fix the high-quality filter glass in position “for life”. Brass mounts won’t bind with your lens thread, or other filters – a major advantage over cheaper filters.
