B+W XS-PRO Digital Filter compatibility question ?

**BarryE** · 01-23-2016, 05:36 AM

Are the B+W XS-PRO Digital Filters compatible with DA* hoods ? Particularly, 16-50 & 50-135. I've picked up that some B+W filters may foul some lens's hoods.

I'm going to try the Clear Glass version as a protector as I've noticed that the Hoya PRO1 UV filters flare & ghost under extreme conditions. (Please don't start a filter debate !).

Many thanks

Hi Barry, I am not sure the dimensional difference between your B+W XS Pro filter and the B+W UV Haze MRC 010M filter I use on my DA*16-50 and DA*60-135 lenses. I have no hood fouling issues!

I've got the B&W filters on both my 16-50 and 50-135 and the fit is fine!
