I exclusively use Breakthrough filters. They are always perfect. They are machined perfectly, easy to thread on and off. Serialized with a warrantee!

I haven?t had a chance to shoot with the UV lens cover over my lens yet, but I will soon and I?m just excited to have some protection over my pricey lens, so we?ll worth it! The UV lens threading was smooth going over the lens and the grip makes it easy to give a bit of tightness to it and make sure it?s really on there, so as not to fall off. It was super easy to clean & I?m excited to see what it?s like out in the elements soon. Can?t wait to test it out!

I use breakthrough filters pretty much all my lenses. This was no exception, as it is amazing quality it does not degrade IQ at all.

Looks Great, works great! No vignetting, easy to mount and uninstall, and regardless of now obviously baseless claims works great with Canon lens hoods as well. The brass and knurling very effectively prevents the filter from getting stuck. Will be replacing all my UV, CPL, and ND filters with these in the future, and have already made a good dent.

No surprises! Clear,crisp and transparent glass. The brass ring is easy to grasp while applying the filter.

Weill definitely be buying this brand again top quality half the price same product a little better to be honest. I was on the fence between this or $160 Hoya UD3 I ended up taking a chance with breakthrough seems very quality highly recommend.

I believe this one of the best filter available because of the materials used and design. Over the years I have purchased and used other brands of filters definitely this is the best!

It looks cool and has a nice grip. Doesn't effect image at all. Much easier to clean then the curved front glass on the lens.

I use Breakthrough Photography filters for all my lenses. They're made with the best glass available and the large grippy edges on the filter makes it easier to get them on and off without worrying about them getting stuck. They are definitely comparable to any filter available.

This is reviewed as the best filter for protection. When spend over $2000 for a lens $100 is cheap protection

I used to use b&w but now I prefer breakthrough, especially for ND filters. Breakthrough is a good filter and the texture makes it easier put on/take off especially if stacked with another filter.

I swore I would never put another piece of glass in front of my lens just because I have tried so many filters. This one convinced me I can find a good filter with suffering perceived image quality loss. Nice Bought this for my Sony 24-105 Full frame now I want one for my 18-105 crop lens. Sorry I don't have sample photos available right now.

I find this filter is made better than a lot of less expensive filters. It is US made.

I usually don't like to put any UV filters on my lens being afraid of degrading my images. But I've changed my mind recently as I don't to damage my expensive lenses, especially long zoom lenses. I started getting the Breakthrough filters and very happy with the quality of the filters and the images. I bought the larger one for my long telephoto zoom lens.

I recently switched from B&W filters (which are still super quality) to these Breakthrough filters. I have two of these great UV filters and also a polarizer, all from Breakthrough. Besides the phenominal quality, the "bumps" on the outside of the rings allow me to easily switch at will without the need for a filter wrench. They also do not interfere with the lens hood.

This filter is a solid purchase. Great construction and the clarity of the glass is superior. I have a number of filters from this company and all are superb. Don't buy cheap.

No colorcast at all with this filter, and it's very easy to put on and take off with the traction system . Highly recommended!

Even though this is just a thin piece of glass the grip on it feels great and is easy to hold on to if you need to remove. The casing is thin to keep a vignetting low when stacking circular filters. With how low the profile is and how clear the glass is I need to periodically double take to see if it's really still there. it's not that it comes off but rather that the quality on the glass is good. I haven't been able to see a difference in color in images with and without the filter. Since this is supposed to be clear I'm thrilled and when needed know which one to get.

I believed all the great reviews. I like this filter better than my B+W, Hoya and other filters. I put it on a 28-135 zoom and that zoom stopped capturing black corners on the digital photos. I never had that corner problem with my Canon 24-70, 14 mm or other Canon lenses.

I use Breakthrough Photography filters for all my lenses. They're made with the best glass available and the large grippy edges on the filter makes it easier to get them on and off without worrying about them getting stuck. They are definitely comparable to any filter available.
It stands as the pinnacle of lens protection technology, the 43mm X4 UV Filter is engineered to meet the exacting needs of professional photographers. With its unparalleled optical clarity, the X4 UV Filter boasts a higher optical resolution than any other protective filter on the market, ensuring that your images are captured with the utmost sharpness and detail.
Crafted with SCHOTT Ultrawhite B270 optical glass from Germany, this high-quality filter promises exceptional light transmission and image fidelity. The innovative MRC16 multi-resistant coating, featuring 16 layers, enhances light transmission to an impressive 99.4%, while also creating a robust protective layer that surpasses the hardness of the glass itself. This ensures that your images are not only clear but also protected from the elements.
The cutting-edge nanotec nano coating layers, applied uniformly on both sides of the filter, offer a revolutionary defense against dirt, water, and other contaminants. By causing these substances to bead up rather than absorb, the nanotec coating ensures that the filter remains clean and is effortless to maintain, saving valuable time in the field.
In pursuit of a design that combines lightweight convenience with enhanced functionality and durability, Breakthrough Photography has reimagined the traditional filter construction. The result is a filter that is not only thinner and lighter but also boasts increased practicality and resilience. The full traction texture that encircles the X4 UV Filter ensures a secure grip and easy handling, allowing for quick and reliable attachment to your camera lens.
Machined from solid brass, the X4 UV Filter offers a level of strength and reliability that surpasses filters made from aluminum. This durable construction minimizes the risk of binding and jamming when used with other filters or step-up rings, providing a solid and dependable connection to your camera gear.
The innovative ultra-slim, double-threaded 3.2mm Traction Frame of the X4 UV Filter is meticulously designed to eliminate vignetting and light falloff, particularly on full-frame wide-angle setups, while maintaining compatibility with all lens caps. The double-threaded design also allows for seamless integration with additional filters, ensuring that the X4 UV Filter is a versatile and indispensable tool for any professional photographer's kit.
