B + W Clear Protection Filter 72mm T-Pro 007M - Ultra Slim Titan Mount

Our review of the B + W Clear Protection Filter 72mm T-Pro 007M finds it best for photographers who want permanent lens protection without changing color or image quality. The single biggest reason to buy is that it shields expensive front elements while remaining virtually invisible in normal shooting thanks to a neutral optical design and B+W MRC Nano coating. This filter is aimed at photographers who value protection and clarity over creative filtration, and it is practical enough to stay on a lens most of the time.

Key Features

• Reflection-Free Titanium-Color Finish: The titanium-color finish reduces visible reflections on the filter rim for a cleaner look on the camera body and during lens swaps.
• Thin Profile Filter Mount: The slim T-Pro mount helps prevent vignetting on wide-angle lenses and works down to about 17mm on full-frame cameras.
• MRC Nano Coating: The multi-resistant coating repels dirt and water, making the filter easier to clean and reducing the chance of smudges affecting images.
• No Filter Effect: The 007M clear glass is color-neutral and highly transparent, so it does not alter color accuracy or exposure.
• Permanent Protection: Designed to be left on the lens, it provides constant physical protection for the front element without introducing light loss.

Who It's For

This filter suits portrait, landscape and travel photographers who prioritize protecting their lens investment while keeping the original image intact. Professionals and serious enthusiasts who often shoot outdoors or in crowded environments will appreciate the robust machining quality and the slim mount that minimizes optical penalties.

Photographers who rely on specialized creative filters for exposure or color effects should look elsewhere for those specific tools; likewise, those using extreme ultra-wide lenses beyond the indicated coverage should verify compatibility to avoid vignetting. It is not a substitute for UV or polarizing functions when those are required.
