Product Description
Ultraviolet light, which manifests itself in photographs as reduced clarity and the appearance of haze, is blocked by the UV 010. Ultraviolet light is invisible to the eye and is strong in mountainous and coastal areas with very clear air. This makes the colorless UV 010 an indispensable filter because it requires no exposure compensation. It is recommended as an ideal filter to be kept permanently on the lens to protect the front element. Filter factor is 1.0.

 the filter is good April 13, 2008

The build quality of the filter compared to sunpak is superb. For optical characteristics I searched the internet to get the transmission curves. Both hoya and b+w are very good. I preferred the transmission characteristics of b+w. It cuts out UV well and attenuation starts just after the visible region ends. For Hoya the attenuation starts a bit earlier. I did not do the tests myself.
I got the filter from adorama. The filter arrived with some paint missing on the outer and inner rim of the filter. Closer inspection revealed one of them was a scratch made with someting sharp. The glass is in excellent condition and the build is also good. So I did not go to the customer service to complain about it. I expect a new product to be flawless. Along with it I also bought a 52mm b+w from adorama. It was in perfect condition.
The item arrived in time as posted. It arrived in a well packed box by usps.
I was charged shipping for the 52mm filter and given free shipping for the 58mm filter though they were ordered together and they arrived in the same box. (Adorama said free shipping for 58mm and about 5$ shipping for 52mm.) Usually if items are grouped together the shipping rates are lower.

Good filter, good protection, does the job. IMO its better than the multicoats because its so much easier to clean. All B+W filters I have purchased have always been of the highest quality.

It is a known cosmetic side effect (artifact) of the high performance polarizing foils that Schneider/B+W uses in its True-Pols to produce a "ripple reflection" to the human eye when viewing high intensity reflected light that "bounces" off the actual polarizing foil. This is simply a "reflected artifact" and is not transmitted through the lens.
This effect is apparent when viewing the filter under certain specific lighting conditions (such as a bright table light being reflected off the polarizing foil's surface from 45 degrees behind the viewer). It appears as a slight visual "rippling" appearance in the virtual surface of the foil. You cannot see this effect under any other viewing conditions. It is an artifact from a reflection coming from the polarizing film.
 flawed filter, flawed shipping/return policy August 19, 2006

When I took the filter out of the box and held it up to the light, I thought it was scratched, but there was a "fold" or flaw in the glass of the filter, a little more than half an inch long. I returned it for a refund. The original shipping was $7.95. The return shipping was $5.81. Had I bought it straight from Adorama, their shipping would have been $5.00. I'm out $13.76 for shipping on a defective product from a company that has a return policy stating, "Please wait 8 days from date we received the package for us to process your return." Also, I question the legality of Amazon's practice of charging credit cards for third-party items when they're ordered and not waiting until they're shipped. The moral? Never buy a third-party item from Amazon.
