B+W

Hy everyone...


i+m confused... i need to buy a uv filter for my 24 70 L ( a 77mm UV #010 MRC), and i was going to ebay.uk and buy the filter there (new filter not used) and i saw a filter that was exactly the one that is on the TDP review, and then i asked the seller a few questions, and he said to me that it is not the brass mount...


So i guess is there two versions one that is brass mount and the other that is alloy i guess?


in the TDP review i think the review is of a brass mount one...





The one i´m going to buy: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/B-W-77mm-UV-Haze-010-MRC-Brass-Filter-R164_W0QQitemZ300333203082QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Ca merasPhoto_CameraAccessories_CameraLensesFilters_J N?hash=item45ed40fe8a


TDP review: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/B+W-UV-Filter.aspx


sorry for my bad english" i´m portuguese....





thank you guys for your time

I'd avoid the seller if I were you. Something smells fishy to me.

no it was not the seller in the link that said it was not the brass version...


the one who said it was not the brass version i replied him back saying that i was not interested...


the link is from the new one that i find that sells the brass version 77mm 010 MRC UV filter... it says there, he have sold five of them and received positive feedback...


so,,,





thanks

I agree. The filter should be brass. If the salesman is telling you that it isn't, he either does not know what he talking about or is trying to get you to buy an inferior substitute. You may have to pay a bit more, but look for a reputable camera dealer for this purchase. You won't regret buying a B&W filter.

Sorry - missed your last post. I'd still recommend going with a well-established photo dealer.

well, in my local area they dont sell b+w filters only rodenstock hoya cokin.. i have a rodenstock 77mm on the 70 200 is2,8l , but i would like to have a b+w on the 24 70,,,


by the way i have already put money on my paypal acount to buy the filter... i can´t get that money back so i guess i´m going to buy from the new seller on the link, seems more trust...





thank you all

i was just wondering if there was two versions.... i read somewhere online that that is one version that sells cheaper that the ring is not brass...

All of the B+W F-pro mounts are brass. But, there are two version of the glass - one with multicoating (MRC) and one without which sells for about half the price.

Indeed. B+W MRC UV filters are on all my lenses. But instead of the F-Pro mount, I'll be getting the new(ish) XS-Pro mount MRC UV for the 10-22mm I'll be ordering in a few days...

the silm version,,,

my brother has bought one year ago a filter for his 70 200 f2,8 l is that is a rodenstock 77 UV filter... and cost about 100 dollars a bit more than the b+w...


is rodenstock better than b+w?


by the way i have ordered the filter today and should be here in about two weeks or less.... and i paid 60 dollars for the b+w MRC 77mm UV filter ,amazon.uk sells for the same price that ebay sells... well i´m anxious to get the filter and see if it is the real deal... if it is i will be really really happy... but lets wait and see...

If you mean the XS-PRO mount, sort of. Most B+W filters are either F-Pro mount or SLIM mount - the slim mount is thinner because it lacks front threads, meaning you need to use the provided slip-on cap instead of the Canon (or other) cap that came with the lens, since those require threads. So, SLIM is fine for a filter that won't 'live' on your lens, but not ideal for a UV filter intended to remain on the lens full time. The XS-PRO mount is just about as thin as the SLIM mount, but it does have front threads (one fewer turn than the F-Pro), meaning the standard cap will work (or another filter can be stacked, if absolutely needed).
