Just what I expect from Breakthrough Photography!

It looks crystal clear, and I can't see any degradation in sharpness of the images. There might be a little extra flare in night street shots, but I accept that because I don't want to use the hood. I don't see any vignetting at the wide end of the 24-70 zoom. It holds the lens cap well. I love the big lugs; they make is so easy to unscrew.

Awesome filter for protection

I always love Breakthrough but make sure you get the X2 or higher.

The best of the best. 10 Stars.

The best filter I have ever owned. Highest quality construction with a very shallow metal ring. You should be able to stack two filters without any worry of vignetting. This filter comes with an engraved serial number that is used to register the 25 year warranty on the Breakthrough Photography website. The metal ring has a textured grip. I'll only be using Breakthrough Filters from now on. They have set the mark very high.

Great construction, NEARLY invisible optics

I've bought a number of these for various lenses. The quality is consistent and these are the best clear filters I've bought. I find these much more convenient to clean than cleaning the front lens element. Much lighter than B+W brass filters, and the ridges really help in getting them off (all filters bind if left on the lens regularly). I haven't noticed much in the way of extra flares/ghosts, but there definitely is tiny bit more flare shooting into the sun. I may skip this for a fast wide angle I just acquired.

Excellent Schott Glass Filter

I have purchased countless Hoya and B+W filters over the years but now regard Breakthrough Photography filters as the best value for quality filter solutions.

Breakthrough UV Filter - A Good Choice

Got this to put on an expensive 85mm lens. I generally use a UV filter for general protection, but it still needs to be optically clear with minimal loss. This is my 3rd Breakthrough filter and all are excellent. It comes well protected in a square filter case that doesn't allow the filter to rattle around when stored. Unlike other filters I've bought in the past, my Breakthrough filters have always been clean and dust free out of the box. The frame is brass with a black finish; raised edging allows a positive grip even with thin gloves on. It threads on and off easily. Each filter has a laser-engraved serial # that, when registered, gets you a 25 year warranty; a good indication that they stand behind their product. I've also purchased other Breakthrough products that are performing well. Well worth it despite the price, especially for lenses that will be used a lot.

Quality

I think Breakthrough is my new favorite filter brand. There is nothing wrong with my old standby filters like Hoya and B+W, but these filters have such a great feel of quality and the ribbed edge is also a nice plus.

Replaced my UV filter

I did some research to try to find a replacement for my Hoya UV filter that had developed a smudge. The Breakthrough products seemed to be suggested so I popped and bought one. It has a very nice and thin frame and so far it's very clear and the lens cap fits perfectly.

Great Filter

I have heard about the Breakthrough filters for the past year. It appears to live up to the reputation. Beautiful build quality, extremely thin, with good finger friction grooves.

Very good product and packaging. Long warranty provided. Fit nicely.

Discover the X2 UV Filter, a robust, weather-sealed protection filter, meticulously engineered for the passionate outdoor photographer. This high-quality filter boasts critically sharp AGC glass, manufactured in Japan, and is enhanced with MRC8 and Breakthrough Photography's innovative nanotec nano coating layers.

Experience the superior performance of this outdoor protection filter, featuring Breakthrough Photography's state-of-the-art 8-layer multi-resistant coatings. These layers work tirelessly to eliminate flaring, ghosting, and low contrast, ensuring your images are always at their best. The modern coating chambers used by Breakthrough Photography are airtight, resulting in a uniform coating that's visible to the human eye when the filter is held at a right angle to a direct light source.

The X2 UV filter is designed with durability in mind. The moment you hold the X2 UV, you'll immediately appreciate the craftsmanship and quality. Each X2 traction frame is precisely machined from environmentally friendly aluminum, finished in matte black to absorb reflections rather than reflecting them into the lens barrel.

The X2's aluminum frame features a CNC machined texture, making it easier than ever to attach and remove the filter from the lens without it getting stuck. The filter also features a 3.5mm ultra-slim double-threaded traction frame to eliminate vignetting on wide-angle full-frame setups.

Designed for the great outdoors, the X2 UV filter is equipped with state-of-the-art MRC8 and a new nanotec coating layer technology. This innovative technology repels dirt, water, and other elements by beading rather than absorbing and smearing, ensuring your filter stays clean and efficient.

The X2 UV filter is set in a completely weather-sealed X2 traction frame, built to withstand the harshest of environmental conditions. Each X2 UV traction frame is laser engraved with unique lettering and a serial number, ensuring the longevity of the information and allowing for efficient tracking and recording for future product design.

Experience the difference with the X2 UV Filter, a perfect blend of innovation, durability, and superior image quality.
