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.

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.

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.

Explore the exceptional capabilities of the Breakthrough Photography X2 82mm UV Traction Filter. This professional-grade filter is a top choice for discerning photographers, offering superior image quality and durability. Crafted with high-grade AGC glass from Japan, the X2 filter delivers critically sharp resolution, ensuring your images are captured with stunning clarity.

The X2 filter is enhanced with an 8-Layer Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC8), a state-of-the-art process that hardens both optical surfaces, boosts light transmission, minimizes reflections, and achieves true color neutrality. This advanced coating maximizes contrast fidelity, enhancing the overall image quality. The MRC8 coating is structurally harder than the glass itself, providing increased scratch resistance and durability.

The X2 filter is designed with a unique Traction frame, meticulously engineered for easy and secure attachment. Each filter is CNC machined with precise tolerances, ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship. The 8-Layer Multi-Resistant coating combats flaring and ghosting, further enhancing the filter's performance.

The X2 filter also features Breakthrough's nanotec Nano Coating layer, which repels dirt, water, and other elements. This innovative coating promotes easy and quick cleaning, keeping your filter in optimal condition.

The X2 filter boasts a 3.5mm ultra-slim double-threaded Traction Frame design, which eliminates vignetting on wide-angle full-frame setups. This slim design reduces light falloff, ensuring your images are captured with consistent lighting. The frame's laser-engraved lettering and unique serial number provide a personalized touch and allow for efficient support and verification of authenticity.

For photographers seeking to maintain their lens' out-of-box optical performance, the X2 filter offers weather-sealed durability. This feature is recommended by leading camera manufacturers like Canon, Nikon, and Sony to complete a lens' weather-seal, protecting it from dust and water damage.

Experience the difference with the Breakthrough Photography X2 82mm UV Traction Filter, a perfect blend of quality, performance, and durability.
