Surprised

Surprised to find the packaging for this filter was not sealed when it arrived today. The filter will be tested on lens later today.

good quality product

Good quality filter but price you have to pay over performance is too high, honestly I couldn't find much difference with my $7 cheap filter from other brand.

decent filter but too expensive for it'sperformance

Build quality is great does what it does but for about $145 I thought it will be way better than my old $6 cpl but honestly I couldn't see any difference even under careful pixel peeping (reducing reflection, making cloud pop). There could be something better that I don't know but for performance it was exactly same as my $6 cpl, I'm so disappointed on b+w. I'm sending this back.

A Beautiful Piece of Glass

I know it is hard to get excited about a piece of glass but B+W filters are the the best. They are so well made, the feel and heft of the brass mounting rather than plastic, and of course the flawless quality of the glass. They can't be beat.

B+W is Amazing!

The B+W Kaesemann MC Circular Polarizer, is a great investment. I put B+W on all my $$$ Canon "L" Lens. Incredible craftsmanship with great results!

High End Competitive Priced Product

Landscapes, Seascapes specifically sunrise and sunsets are my most frequent uses. I like the range of selective choices when working with this filter. I paid the higher price because I only wish to pay for the best quality once. In comparative side by side use my eyes could not see the difference to suggest higher priced filters being considered.

Low quality male threads

The male threads are poorly cut. This is the only screw on lens accessory that I have had trouble with. There is way too much friction in the part that is supposed to spin, so you either loosen the entire filter or the crummy male threads will jam into your lens/UV filter. Very annoying when you are in the field and can't remove it. Female threads are fine. Image quality is nice though.

You need this filter

A circular polarizer is a must component for any kit. If you are serious about your photos and desire getting the best results when you are in the field, then a B+W filter is a good investment towards getting the results you want. Sounds like I am writing an advertisement...hmmm. For the record, I have to buy my own equipment. The B+W line is top end and expensive, but the results make the cost justifiable. Good thread form makes it hard to cross thread the filter. Heavy duty material and solid construction make this a one time purchase. Filter always rotates smoothly. When used in the right situation, the clouds and colors pop. Lose the glare and pick up color and detail in the hot pools in Yellowstone. Someone nearby is liable to hear you say "WOW" as you rotate the polarizer to the optimum orientation. Lower cost polarizers will show a similar effect, but perfect glass and perfect coatings will give you the best result possible. These are B+W characteristics. Quality does cost. Its all about the results you want. I would recommend this filter to anyone who wants to optimize his results in the field.

Finally got the "one"

Have Hoya CP but when presented with the choice for the 77MM filter size I decided to get the much praised B + W Kaesemann Circular Polarizer.

Top Quality

Top quality filter. Any errors in my shots were due to me, not the filter.

Quality as advertised

I couldn't see buying a cheap filter to go on my new $1600 lens -- simple to use, and results through the first 2 weeks look great. Really see a difference in the skies and water shots with this polarizing filter. Anything shot other than "high noon" seem to benefit. Worth the peace of mind to me, even if I am not entirely sure if I see the difference between 98% effective and 90% effective.

You get what you pay for

High quality construction and glass. I bought it to put on the front of my Canon 70-200 L IS 2.8 so shortcutting the filter seemed like a really bad thought. I wanted the best and from what I heard and read about this filter, this was it. It's expensive and only my second CP, but it works as advertised and I'm very happy with it.

Quality Product

This is my first filter. From the paper filter box I was not sure that the item I received was what I bought. B+W could have included a basic description of the product and its effects. My search of their web site did not yeild the information.

All serious photographers should own one

It's simply the finest polarizer I've ever used. It has some weight to it and pretty much feels to be built like a tank. I have no doubt that this thing will last for years. Why spend thousands, or even hundreds, on a lens only to stick some sub-standard piece of glass on the front. Go with the best, you'll not be disappointed.

B + W Delivers!

Excellent circular polarizer. Great construction. Very solid. Easy to use and works as advertised. I would buy any of the B+W filters.

B + W 77 Circular Polarizer Specifications

About B + W 77 Circular Polarizer

Kaesemann filters are constructed from select polarizing foils and the finest optical class.
• They were designed for apochromatic and fast telephoto lenses, but all lenses benifit from their quality.
• Kaesemann polarizers are edge sealed and are ideal for extreme climate conditions.

• Polarizer filters evenly increase color saturation of all colors (except black and white), creating deep, rich scenics.
• They add contrast for dramatic skies and ariel shots.
• Polarizers also eliminate glare from highly reflected surfaces like glass and water.
• Polarizers are two part lenses that rotate, allowing you to select the degree of additional saturation, contrast and glare reduction desired.
•They come in two varieties.
• Circular-for all types of cameras (required for beam splitting metering systems commonly found in auto-focus SLR's and in most current TTL Slr's; check your camera's manual).
• Linear-for rangefinders and older SLR metering systems.
