Overview

The B+W 66-070252 is a 77mm UV haze filter built by Schneider Kreuznach in Germany, combining lens protection with genuine optical benefit. Its 16-layer multi-resistant coating (MRC) is applied to both sides of the glass, reducing reflections to maintain contrast and color fidelity while repelling water, oil, and dust. For outdoor and travel photographers, this means the filter pulls double duty: it physically shields the front element from scratches, sand, and spray, while simultaneously absorbing ultraviolet light that causes haze and subtle blue color casts in daylight images.

The F-PRO brass mount is precision-machined for a secure, cross-thread-resistant fit on any 77mm lens, whether Canon, Nikon, Sony, or another system. Its front internal thread accepts a lens hood or an additional filter, giving photographers flexibility without removing the UV layer. While the F-PRO profile is slightly thicker than B+W's slimmer XS-PRO series, it remains well-suited for standard and moderate wide-angle focal lengths. For anyone who keeps a protective filter permanently mounted, the combination of Schott glass, MRC coating, and German manufacturing makes this a dependable choice that stays optically invisible in the image chain.
