Wanted the best for my Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR

This is a solid somewhat heavy well built filter, among the best in its class. I really like B&W filters for my work and don't notice any negative impact on my images.

I have been using Canon's UV filter primarily for lens protection. Looking closely at both Canon's and B+W filter I can tell the difference, "clearly". B+W is more transparent almost invisible where I can easily see Canon's glass. I prefer this over many cheap filters.

Works great - I don't notice it in my images, which is all I could ask for!! My rationalization -[...]

Whenever I buy a new lens, I order a B+W filter along with it. Right now I have 85mm f1.8 USM, 28mm f1.8 USM, 70-200 f2.8L and a 24-70 f2.8L lenses. They all have B+W 2C filters on them. Why risk a lens that costs anywhere from $400-$1200 and not protect it with a filter? Also, if you are going to be shooting through this filter all of the time, it only makes sense to buy the best. B+W is far superior to Canon's which is made by Tiffen. I also have B+W Kaesemann Circular Polarizer in both sizes. Not fun to pay for, but the results justify the expense.

Overall, very good filter, but expensive. Some ghosting in poor light with long focal lengths, but in good light, used judiciously, works fine. In retrospect, I probably should have looked for a "digital" version in this size to minimize occasion background ghosting in uneven light.

I originally ordered the Canon UV filters for my lenses and quickly realized that the quality was sub par. After researching, I decided on the B&W multi coated UV filters. After receiving the first one, I ordered new ones for each of my lenses. They have a nice quality feel to them.

I am in the process of upgrading all my older UV filters with B+W. They are more expensive, but if you spend a lot on a lens, you want to make sure you have the best filter to maintain the integrity of your glass. Sure there are different schools of thought regarding the use of UV filters - I personally keep it on my lens at all times for the protection factor, which is why I spent the extra money on this one. The optics have been fantastic and I see NO discernable difference in my image quality. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
