Perfect protection and UV filter for my Tamron 70-200
Perfect protection and UV filter for my Tamron 70-200mm lens. I like the solidness of it and I was worried it would be to think as I read reviews the tread didn't fit properly, but it was no problem. My photos look better than with the last filter I had.

I have owned this filter for about 2 years now and use it to protect my Canon 24-105 4.0L lens. The build quality and fit is perfect - although, after it has been on the lens for a while, it can be hard to remove, especially since it's built very slim and you don't have much space to grab it. However, I believe this is just a result of the very tight and precise fit of the thread. I managed to get it off after a while... Cleaning is very easy with isopropanol wipes, and the glass dries nicely, without residues. I haven't noticed any scratches but I took good care of it, so I can't really judge how rugged it is. Overall, an excellent filter to protect your expensive lens, no vignetting at wide angle, served me well over 2 years...so far so good,
BUT...
recently I got another lens and, with it, the SH-PMC multicoated version of this filter (Heliopan 707711). Same design, same build quality... but the anti-reflective coating on the SH-PMC filter is definitely better than this one. When you hold both filters next to each other under a light source, the difference in reflected light is clearly visible. In terms of image quality, I haven't done any direct face-to-face comparison on the same scene. However, I believe with the SH-PMC filter I do have less glare and a bit more sharpness especially in outdoor, back-light situations. This is a very subjective statement, though.
If money is no object (in Canada this sells for over $150), and you want (likely) the highest quality filter, then this is for you.
Personally, I feel that the Schott glass that is used to make the B+W filters is just as good (perhaps a lab test could prove me wrong, but I don't think the human eye can tell the difference), and I would rather have the extra $$ in my wallet.
They are amazing filters, but the price knocks it down a notch for me.
Perfect for the 17-40 f/4 L,16-35 f/2.8 L, and 24-70 f/2.8 L, 70-200 f/2.8 L lenses, Image Quality (IQ) is crisp as without, no loss of quality with these! Thin mount w/ threading for adtl. filter, so no vignetting!
Get it from J&R Music... best priced seller, go figure!
For brilliant color reproduction, best contrast and sharpness Heliopan offers the highest quality optical glass from the German Schott Group.
High quality hard coating on each filter side to reduce stray light, to maintain high contrast and avoid flare
Slim mount does not vignette with 21mm lenses. Slim mount includes front threads for hoods, caps, even additional filters
Minimal reflections because of matte black anodized brass filter rims which will not bind when threaded in combination with other metals.
