Nikon L37C filter

[Jay]

Since we are on the subject of filters, anyone know the quality of Kenko L37 Professional UV filter?

The best CIR-PL is B+W Kaesemann

I feel tormented by this statement. Just to share with you my experience with B+W Kaesemann filter. Recently has developed this concentric ring of (rainbow) colours around the rim. Initially it was just some faint watermark, it is so bad that it affects the photos.

I brought it back to Cathay Photo, initially they refused to help saying they have not been bringing in this product for a while now. After much persuasion, they reluctantly send a note on my behalf to B+W in Germany. I have yet to read the reply, but in short, they gave some reason why the filter can be screwed and that they cannot do anything about it.

I thought I had invested in a quality piece of polarizer, but I guess I am terribly wrong.

Just curious,

Which "normal" filter is better to protect ur lenses' front element? UV or Skylight?

Any difference between these two filters in terms of the pics produced?

Skylight is a (very) little pinkish, and UV(0) is colourless and supposed to reduce a little haze. Personally, it does not matter to me whether it is a UV or skylight on the lens.

By all means, use a high-quality multi-coated filter from Hoya or B+W, and you will be keeping your lens safe without much compromise in optics. Or if your prefers used the original Nikon L37c.
