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!

By Paul M.

Great lens filter! Works as advertised. Will be using it mainly for wide angle landscape photos. Is a great way to protect my camera lens.

After meticulous engineering and design, the Breakthrough Photography X1 UV Filter emerges as an essential accessory for both professional and amateur photographers. This high-quality 52mm X1 UV Flat Black Filter is crafted with a multi-coated, 3.5mm ultra-slim weather-sealed frame, ensuring it stands as a durable and effective shield against the elements and the rigors of on-the-go photography.

The X1 UV Filter boasts an innovative Traction frame design, which not only enhances handling during quick filter changes but also contributes to its stylish appearance. The multi-resistant coating (MRC4) applied to the optical disk is a testament to its professional-grade construction, offering four layers of protection that enhance light transmittance while mitigating the risk of flaring, ghosting, and low contrast. This results in crisper, more vibrant images that truly capture the moment as intended.

The effectiveness of the X1 UV Filter is further demonstrated by its ability to protect your lens from dust and moisture, completing the weather-sealing that is crucial for maintaining the lens's optimal performance. Canon, Nikon, and Sony all recommend the use of protective filters to preserve the integrity of your lens, and the X1 UV Filter fulfills this recommendation with its robust construction.

Designed with precision, the ultra-slim 3.5mm double-threaded frame of the X1 UV Filter is engineered to prevent vignetting, even when used with wide-angle full-frame setups. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the laser-engraved lettering on the flat black frame, which guarantees that identification marks remain intact through extensive use. Each filter is uniquely serialized, linking it to Breakthrough Photography's 25 Year Ironclad Guarantee for unparalleled customer service and support.

In summary, the 52mm X1 UV Flat Black Filter is a stylish, high-quality, and professional choice for photographers seeking to enhance their image quality while protecting their valuable lenses. Its effective multi-coating and weather-sealed durability make it a standout selection for those who demand the best in optical accessories.
