BRAUN StarLine UV-Filter 72 mm

The slim metal ring sits flush against my lens hood, and the multicoated glass doesn't introduce any noticeable color shift. I've been using it for a week of bright outdoor shots, and it’s cut reflections dramatically compared to my old filter.

The glass is noticeably clear and the threading is very smooth on my lens, no wobble at all. It feels solid enough to take a knock while keeping my front element safe from dust and scratches.

I was a bit worried about optical quality with a cheaper filter, but the multi-coating on this one is flawless and doesn't introduce any flare. It’s been living on my lens for two weeks now, and the glass is still spotless after a quick wipe.
