Solid budget option

Good filter. Not quite as nice as the x2s, but you get what you pay for. This is a solid budget option, and still backed by their amazing warranty (just don't forget to register it.)

Seems to be almost as good as my B+W filters.

I put a UV or clear filter on all my lenses for protection. After a recent lens realignment, I am left with three Leica lenses that all use 39mm filters and I only had one B+W 39mm filter. I decided to try two Breakthrough Photography X1 UV filters. There are three differences; B+W uses German-made Schott glass that gives 98.8% light transmission and the X1 uses Japanese-made AGC glass that gives 98.6% light transmission; B+W uses brass rings that rarely bind and are stronger, the X1 uses aluminum rings that frequently bind. The X1 ring is half as thick as the B+W F-Pro ring.

Awesome lens filter!

You can elevate your photography game with the Breakthrough Photography 49mm X1 UV Flat Black Filter. This high-quality filter is a must-have for both professional and amateur photographers, offering superior protection and enhanced image quality.

The X1 UV filter is crafted from durable, Japanese-made AGC glass, ensuring 98.6% light transmission for crystal clear images. Its multi-resistant coating (MRC4) is applied in two layers on each side of the optical disk, providing a total of MRC-4 protection. This advanced coating not only surpasses the hardness of glass but also increases light transmittance, effectively preventing common optical issues such as flaring, ghosting, and low contrast.

Designed with an ultra-slim 3.5mm frame, the X1 UV filter eliminates vignetting on wide-angle full-frame setups. This slim profile is meticulously engineered to accept all lens caps while staying below the 3.7mm threshold where vignetting becomes noticeable.

The X1 UV filter's frame is laser engraved with a unique serial number, ensuring your product's authenticity and enabling efficient tracking for future product design improvements. This filter is not just slim and lightweight, but also robust and reliable, making it an ideal companion for on-the-go photography in various environments.

Moreover, the X1 UV filter is weather-sealed, offering an additional layer of protection to your lens against dust and water. As recommended by leading camera brands like Canon, Nikon, and Sony, using a protective filter like the X1 UV filter completes the weather-sealing of your lens, maintaining its out-of-box optical performance for a longer period.

In a nutshell, the Breakthrough Photography 49mm X1 UV Flat Black Filter is a fusion of innovative design, advanced technology, and superior craftsmanship, designed to deliver exceptional performance and durability.
