B+W filters are made with Schott glass. So, by the way, are Zeiss and Leica lenses. Simply put there is no better optical glass in the world. There are equals, but noting better. Combine Schott glass with effective multicoating and high-quality brass rings and you get what I believe to be the best filters in the world. I've been using B+W filters for over 20 years now and use them exclusively. They always are optically neutral (add no distortion), have effective coatings that add no flare to my modern coated lenses and actually reduce flare on my ancient uncoated lenses, and in the case of colored contrast filters and neutral density filters like this one, are entirely neutral in their tint, from edge to edge with no variance. I bought this particular filter to use on a Voigtlander 50mm f/1.2 lens on my Leica cameras, with both the camera sensor and the lens far too good to put behind a low-quality filter. Don't waste you money on anything less.

B + W's new ND filters are made with excellent, finely cut and polished special glass. The ND filter effect has been improved thanks to a combination of three different coatings achieved using a specially developed thin-film technology. To prevent distracting reflections, the coating includes a multi-layer anti-reflective part with seven layers on each side of the filter. The outer layer is dirt and water-repellent. Light absorption is extremely even across the entire visible area, producing perfect, color-neutral images. This new coating technology also means that ND filters can now be produced for the slim B+W XS-Pro Digital filter line.

These XS-Pro filters have an extremely slim brass mount, making them ideal for discerning users of mirrorless system and DSLR cameras. Despite its slim design, the mount is fully equipped with a front thread for further accessories such as a lens hood or snap-on lens cover. The XS-Pro filter line is available from dia. 30.5mm and is supplemented with a dia. 95mm version.

  • B + W XS-Pro 52mm MRC-Nano 803 Solid Neutral Density 0.9 Filter
  • Filter Case
  • B + W 1 Year Warranty
