B+W 72mm 010 UV-Haze
Price: 120 PLN

We all should know the B+W filters. They are made by the German company Schneider Optics and made of glass from the Schott Company. The standard version of the filter has antireflective coatings.

Summary:

    For a filter with mediocre features, this Schneider Optics product is expensive. It doesn’t have the scratch free MRC coatings that other filters from the company have, so nothing but the solid metal ring and the B+W logo justify the high price.
