Hasselblad filters

[ski542002]

Hello: Will be ordering 2 XCD lenses shortly. I never cheap out on filters and have always purchased brass-threaded B+W, UV and Polascreens. The 72mm UV filters are pricey, at about $60 @. The Hasselblad UV filters are around $250 @. IS there any noticeable difference in optical quality from either brand of filter? I won't shoot any lens without a protective filter attached, so don't go there!

Where there is a notable difference between a cheap and expensive CPL filter, is in how dark it is (the EV penalty). The lowest EV penalty I have found, are the German B+W Kasemann filters but they are expensive in large sizes. The Pola + filters from Urth are a close second and considerably cheaper. I have bought Urth CPL filters for all 4 of my Hasselblad XCD lenses, 28P, 45P, 35-100, and 80/1.9. The longer the lens the more effective I find those filters to be, especially taking photos in lower latitudes, such as in Africa or the Caribbean, in the middle of the day, when the sun is high, where they noticeably increase contrast and saturation. Obviously they are also very effective in reducing polarised reflections from seawater or lake shots.

Wilson, I appreciate your reply. I’ve only ever purchased B+W, including an 82mm PolaScreen, which was priced like I was taking out a loan on a new Ferrari! My 82mm B+W might be a Kaesmann. Just use many step up rings for all of my optics. Right now at least, kind of a moot point. Wish Hasselblad backorders were not so very painful!
