B+W Quality

B+W really is the Rolls Royce of photographic filters – and only the best materials and craftsmanship will do. Strict quality checks in all key production steps ensure seamless production standards – staffed by experienced specialists in filter manufacture. .

Behind the brand is a continuous process of optimisation and quality control which begins with the raw glass blocks.

B+W uses Schott glass - because Schott guarantees the very highest glass quality – ensuring the filters meet the highest requirements of the camera and lens manufacturers and guaranteeing optimum imaging quality.

Computer-controlled grinding and polishing machines produce the highest filter quality from this raw material in an impressive range of designs and diameters.

Precision engineered brass mounts play an important role in the filter, made on high precision CNC machines. The filter glass is screwed into a high-precision retaining ring, making a B+W filter a true piece of high tech engineering that you can rely on for many years to come.
