Overview

The B+W 82mm UV-Haze T-PRO filter is a premium lens protection solution from Schneider Kreuznach, a German optics manufacturer with over a century of expertise that extends to NASA's Apollo missions. At its core is high-quality optical glass treated with 16 layers of multi-resistant nano coating (MRC Nano), which serves a dual purpose: it maximizes light transmission for clear, crisp images while creating a surface that actively repels water, oil, dust, and fingerprints. This means the filter stays cleaner in challenging outdoor environments and is far easier to wipe down in the field than uncoated or basic-coated alternatives.

The T-PRO mount is engineered from brass with a titanium finish, making it one of the thinnest filter mounts available. This ultra-slim profile is critical for photographers using wide-angle lenses, where thicker mounts can intrude into the frame and cause dark vignetting in the corners. Despite its slim dimensions, the T-PRO retains a front thread, so you can still attach a lens hood or stack additional filters when needed. The titanium finish provides a smooth, reliable threading action that resists the cross-threading and binding that can plague lesser filter rings. As a UV-Haze filter, it absorbs ultraviolet light to reduce atmospheric haze and the blue color cast that can wash out outdoor images, while having no impact on visible light exposure settings.

Key Features

PROTECT YOUR EXPENSIVE CAMERA LENSES - The B + W 82 mm UV haze clear camera filter is here to add 16 multi-resistant nano-coating layers of protection against accidental drops, dust, flying, fingerprints, dirt, scratches sand or seawater spray. Enjoy outdoor photography without worrying about your precious lenses anymore.

TAKE BLUE CAST OUT OF THE PICTURE - Literally. Whether you are a professional photographer or a beginner, the invisible Ultra-Violet component of light from the sky is a common issue. Our UV-blocking haze protector filter for 77mm lenses will eliminate blue cast and help you snap clearer images.

ULTRA-THIN T-PRO MOUNT – Probably the thinnest filter holder on the market! At only 82 mm, B+W Titanium mounts eliminate almost all risk of vignetting, even with large wide-angle and telephoto lenses. The titanium finish gives the thread a very special smoothness and at the same time increased robustness. Despite the thin mount, the Titan series still features a front thread for lens hoods and other attachments.

CHOOSE YOUR SIZE – To select the appropriate filter size, check your lens. On all lenses from Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Samsung, Fuji and other manufacturers there is a printed diameter symbol that determines the filter size.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • 16-layer multi-resistant nano coating effectively repels fingerprints, water, and dust for easy field cleaning
  • Ultra-slim titanium-finish brass mount virtually eliminates vignetting on wide-angle lenses
  • High-quality Schott optical glass maintains sharpness and clarity across the frame
  • Front thread retained despite the slim profile, allowing lens hoods and additional filters to be stacked
  • German-manufactured by Schneider Kreuznach with over 100 years of optical precision experience

👎 Cons

  • Premium pricing is significantly higher than basic UV filters from other manufacturers
  • At 82mm this is a larger and more expensive filter size, which limits sharing across a lens collection
  • Nano coating, while effective, can still accumulate stubborn smudges that require proper cleaning technique
  • The slim mount design leaves less grip surface for removal, which can be tricky with cold or wet hands

Frequently Asked Questions

The T-PRO ultra-slim titanium mount is one of the thinnest on the market, specifically designed to minimize vignetting even with wide-angle and telephoto lenses. It also retains a front thread for attaching lens hoods.
The 16-layer MRC nano coating repels water, oil, dust, and fingerprints from the filter glass, making it much easier to clean in the field and more resistant to smudging during use.
The B+W T-PRO uses high-quality Schott optical glass with 16 layers of multi-resistant nano coating designed for maximum light transmission. It blocks UV light to reduce haze and blue cast without introducing color shifts to visible light.
The mount is made of brass with a titanium finish, which provides a smooth threading action and prevents cross-threading or seizing onto your lens — a common issue with cheaper aluminum filter rings.
Yes, it fits any lens with an 82mm filter thread diameter, regardless of brand. Check the diameter symbol printed on the front of your lens to confirm the size.
