About this item

  • A MUST-HAVE – Whether you’re indoors or outdoors, the right polarizing filter is a must for every photography equipment. No other filter provides such a simple and fast method for breathtaking pictures through reduced reflections on water and smooth non-metallic surfaces. Enjoy richer colors in landscape photography, outlining clouds, skies, and skylines in perfect clarity.
  • EASY TO USE CAMERA FILTER - The Käsemann polarization filter can easily be screwed onto the filter thread of most lenses. Thanks to its special design, the adjustment ring can then be rotated on the filter without resistance in order to improve your images in the simplest possible way. You see an immediate result through the camera viewfinder, or on the display. Adjust the effect strength as desired.
  • BEST WORKMANSHIP - The High Transmission (HTC) polarization film is set between two precise ground and polished cover glasses. It is particularly neutral in color and of high quality, providing for much sharper and richer images than conventional polarizing filters. The MRC glass has been refined with several wafer-thin layers of coating to ensure high scratch resistance and a dirt- and water-repellent effect due to nanotechnology (lotus effect).
  • TOUGH & SOLID MOUNTS - B+W sockets are absolutely accurate, easy to apply, and easy to adjust as polarizing filters thanks to their precision manufacturing. With an extra narrow XS-PRO mount, vignettes can be ruled out in most cases, even at high wide-angle angles. Due to the internal thread, a conventional lens hood can also be fitted so you can take better pictures.
  • MADE IN GERMANY - Schneider Kreuznach (B + W) – We’re proudly your precision mechanics specialists for filters, photography, optics and precision, with more than 100 years of German experience. Schneider products have already been used in NASA's Apollo missions. Thanks to our multi-resistant nano coating lens filter, we’re helping photographers everywhere take clearer, crisper images.

Product Description

Optical Excellence for Analog and Digital Photography

If you’re a professional or an amateur photographer and whether you prefer landscape, portrait, animal, real estate, or sports photography - the hardware requirements for photography should not be underestimated!

For instance, Schneider Optics and their wide range of B + W photo filters offer an exceptional lens accessory designed to help you make the most out of each and every shot without breaking the bank.

Using A Polarizing Filter In The Field

B + W polarizing filters ensure that reflections and light reflections can be drastically removed from the photographs that you take. Things like disturbing elements, unwanted reflections on water, glare on a pane of glass, among others, can be easily removed way before post-production. Even absolute professionals with the best post-processing software cannot achieve these results afterwards without filters! However, since every object reflects and scatters light (e.g. blades of grass), it can sometimes happen so quickly that colors become falsified and appear dull and boring.

Especially in landscape photography, the photo filter works to – quite literally – filter out these reflections and ensure that a green meadow or a blue sky looks richer, more colorful, and more natural.

42 customers mention37 positive5 negative

Customers like the glare control of the camera lens filter. For example, they say it takes away gla re like a charm, cuts down on reflections and glar off water. It looks a lot brighter through the viewfinder and shoots a stop faster. It brightens and clears the haze better than lower priced filters. It's durable and does a great job filtering out spectrums of light, giving you deep blue skies. Customers also mention that it enhances the colors of the photos nicely.

"...No more glare from shinny objects in picture. Can be used at night to remove glare coming off water scene shot. B+W makes high end lenes...." Read more

"Takes away glare like a charm. I posted a comparison of with vs without the filter (picture with white spot on floor was taken without the filter)...." Read more

"...Light loss is better than many Circular Polarizers, so impact is lessened. But the polarization effect is great...." Read more

"...with unusual or overly dramatic colours and the filter successfully removed reflections in water...." Read more

32 customers mention25 positive7 negative

Customers like the thickness of the camera lens filter. For example, some say it's very slim, lightweight, and solidly made. They also say the design is great for ultra wide lenses and that it'll reduce dark corner effect. Some mention that the rings are small and compact.

24 customers mention20 positive4 negative

Customers like the ease of use of the camera lens filter. They mention it goes on very smooth and comes off just as easy, it's easy to handle, and the effect is consistent and easy to control without affecting color balance. The filter is heavy, solid, and extremely smooth to turn. It's a joy to use and very easy to attach and remove from the lens. The adjustment is smooth like butter.

44 customers mention24 positive20 negative

Customers are mixed about the rotation of the filter. Some mention that it rotates very smoothly and eliminates glare, while others say that it's difficult to rotate it easily.

"...The filter itself fits my RF 28-70mm F2 perfectly, and the dial turns freely as needed. The lens hood fits on both ways as well...." Read more

"...Cons: -Because it is a circular polarizer, you have to rotate the outer ring to change how light contacts the lens...." Read more

"...Rotation is smooth with just enough tension to keep a desired setting. Light loss is better than many Circular Polarizers, so impact is lessened...." Read more

"...I had trouble several times rotating it smoothly on one of my lenses. It was not smooth at all...." Read more

26 customers mention9 positive17 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the camera lens filter. Some mention that it's the best Polarizer for the money, while others say that it is very expensive.

"...This is the best bang for the buck out there if you are shopping for a CP and do not want to spend a ridiculous amount of cash while realizing that..." Read more

"...Premium price but very satisfied with the results." Read more

"...Definitely would buy it again. It's a little more expensive than others, but with photography equipment you usually get what you pay for." Read more

Quality CPL!!

Quality CPL!!
I read some of the reviews and was worried about the possibility of receiving a knock off. When my package arrived, I knew by the weight this was a genuine B+W filter (brass weight, gold lettering). Just to be sure, I checked the manufacturer authenticity website and entered the code to double check.I then proceeded to put it a test at night, which you can see in my image of my tempered glass window of the watercooled PC. Without filter, there is a reflection of my monitor. With the filter, turned appropriately, the reflection is gone!The filter itself fits my RF 28-70mm F2 perfectly, and the dial turns freely as needed. The lens hood fits on both ways as well.Amazon also shipped this same day! Extremely happy with this purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for fish photos! High quality filter.
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2019
I bought this filter to take photos of fish in our trout pond. It is amazing for that purpose. The afternoon I received this was full of glare and reflections. Without looking through the camera I couldn’t see a fish. But with it on and rotated properly I was able to get great photos. The dark photo on the left was with the filter rotated to allow glare. And on the right with glare minimized. I was able to get amazing photos of the trout feeding. I can’t believe I waited this long to have one of these! My Smith sunglasses also allowed me to see these fish and that is what tipped me off that I was missing a lot in my photos. Using this filter is way easier than trying to shoot through my sunglasses. Seems to work well with my Canon 80D autofocus and auto exposure. Schneider no longer supports the counterfeit protection website that links to the box hologram label, but this seems obviously legit from the research I did as to what to look for.
