Title: NOT the best for lens protection!
Product review: I bought this filter for my Canon Rebel T2i in the hopes of keeping the filter on all the time as a cheap way to protect my lens. I had done EXTENSIVE research into clear/UV filters and had decided that B+W seemed like one of the top filter makers. At first glance, the lens seemed to do the trick, though I thought it seemed a little flimsy. However, after doing many test pictures with and without the filter, I was disappointed at the faint flare (little green reflections or "ghosts" from lights) that occurred in several shots with the filter. Essentially about half the pictures were ruined by the flare. I ended up buyingHoya 58mm DMC PRO1 Digital Multi-Coated UV (Ultra Violet) Filter.and have ABSOLUTELY no complaints! If anyone is looking for a filter purely for lens protection, I would recommend a Hoya as a good economical filter that won't ruin every single picture!
