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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Initial results are positive. Need to use longer term to evaluate on a variety of shoots.

I purchased B+W and it didn't dissapoint me. Crisp, clear and give me blue sky in photography.

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.

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.

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

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.

Worked great on the beach and Mexico's forest.

I've been using it on Canon L lenses with excellent results. Solid, firm mount. Feels solid.

Threads perfectly onto the lens with no resistance.

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.

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.

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.

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