39mm X4 UV Filter for Camera Lenses - UV Protection Photography Filter with Lens Cloth - MRC16, Schott B270, Nano Coatings, Ultra-Slim, Weather-Sealed by Breakthrough Photography

was under the impression that, for its price, I would be getting a high-quality item, since it is much more expensive than any other 77mm filter. A rattling sound was heard in my camera bag as soon as I attached the cheap lens to this. The filter came apart in three sections when I removed it. Although it is a quality item, I'm not sure if there is a design flaw in it or it is We could have suffered a great deal if the filter had shattered! I may have scratched my lens due to a broken filter. It gives me an air of security to have a filter. The one in question I will not give up, however. In the hope that it will be exactly what has been described as a quality item, I am returning it for a replacement. In the event that I have received the return item, used it, and determined it met my expectations, I will update this review.

However, since I obtained the Canon EF 100mm f/2, I am thinking of getting two more in the near future. With the 8L macro lens, I ended up buying the X4 UV 67mm instead of the X2 due to the price difference. There is only one thing I have to say Wow! Although the X2 filters are very good, this one is a giant leap forward. I feel like it's very strong and There is a small amount of weight to this filter, but that is expected from a premium filter. The 25 year warranty means you cannot go wrong and you will not be disappointed. Thanks to the extra money I spent on the X4, I am very happy. The filters I will be using from now on will all be Breakthrough's. A RECENT UPDATE For my new Canon 70-200mm EF wide angle lens, I recently obtained the 72mm X4 Using an IS II USM lens at 200mm. Having the right filter is just as important as having the right lens Always a great experience with the X4! It was great to receive a free UV filter with every purchase. I will certainly be returning to purchase 2 X4 UV filters when the time comes! I am posting Update #2 for your information This lens has a F/4L IS USM 105mm focal length I'm sure that there will be an update three in the near future.

The above filters are among the best on the market. In spite of being a professional photographer for the past 12 years, I used to purchase cheap filters because I considered them to be disposable commonly used as lens element protectors, so if the front of your lens is knocked against something by accident, it should theoretically prevent any damage to the front of the lens. The owner of a local store convinced me to try these out because they're made of brass and come with knurled features to improve grip and are painted black. They also have brass rings painted black and were easier to thread on and off as well. Unlike other premium filters, this one is much easier to wipe clean of fingerprints, oils, and salt spray due to its proprietary coating, which makes it optically clear and distortion free. It also has very little light sensitivity, as well as little or no color cast. The cost of this filter is higher, but you'll feel so relieved that you're able to clean the lens so quickly if you shoot outdoors a lot or you find yourself frustrated by not being able to wipe the lens clean quickly.

A Sony 24mm f/1 lens with this version installed. In addition, the quality of the image is not significantly affected by the filter, which is exactly In essence, it will protect the front element of my lens for those like me who are prone to causing damages to It has the problem that the metal in the filter The lens hood interferes with it, making it hard to install. It's great as a way to take the lens hood off. I guess that's good because sometimes filters can get stuck, but every time I put on or take off the lens hood, it's annoying. It is for that reason that I would never purchase the same filter again.

NDs I have ever used are the best I have A ten-pack of the new book just arrived Filters should be turned off. The results were nearly indistinguishable. A grade of 0 means the image is very sharp, the contrast is excellent, and there are no discernible differences in color. The list was 1% shorter than expected The difference in color is 2%. There is dopey evidence that the problem could be related to a slight lighting change in the room or being one pixel off where metering was conducted. This is a great set of filters I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking to purchase them. to find that they lived up to the advertising claims, and the advertising claims weren't exaggerated A hyped event. To add a bit more information, a while back I purchased one of those $30 ND filter packs off of Amazon to experiment I decided a color cast would not be a big deal for what I'm trying to do here. There was a huge, nearly unfixable color cast when stacking to get 10 stops, but there was also a loss of contrast and of sharpness that was inexcusable. It would be fair to say that for the price, using a filter from this pack was mostly acceptable to give it a try and determine if you would want to invest in a more expensive filter. This is not really fit for anything worthwhile. I will do some better comparison testing within a controlled studio environment, and post a comparison.

I was pleasantly surprised by the customer service. Formerly a photographer but recently retired, I wanted to start taking photos again. When I searched for landscape photography filters, I came across Breakthrough. CPL for my Nikon 16-35 turned out to be an excellent purchase as I read all the great reviews I tested it out for myself and found it to be quite useful. It was amazing how well the quality was! Now that I've acquired several filters (CPLs, GNDs, NDs, and UV's), I'll experiment with them. Customer service from Breakthrough is awesome. James spoke with me and told me it was possible there would be a problem with the 77mm CPL I bought for my Nikon 70-200 This lens has a 200mm focal length. It was to be replaced with a new one, (it has never been done by a company before). The pride they take in the products they sell is evident! Cassie contacted me a few times over the next few weeks to ensure all was well and that I was happy with my new CPL position. My experience with this company's customer service is far superior to what I have ever received in the past. Many thanks to Breakthrough Photography not only for their quality product, but also for the quality of the people they In his words "George.
