The B+W filter manufacturing company was founded
in Berlin in 1947 by business partners Biermann
and Weber. In 1985 the merger with the Jos. Schneider
Optical Works in Bad Kreuznach expanded the
B+W line of products with optical filters for science
and technology. It also generated significant progress
in multi-layer coating systems (MC). As a result,
B+W became the first manufacturer of filters in the
world to offer the innovative water- and dirt repelling
MRC multi-layer coating process, which, in addition
to its reflection-preventing qualities is also regarded
as being especially scratch-resistant. In Bad Kreuznach, the most modern fabrication machines
produce highly precise filters in an impressive
variety of types and diameters. Quality controls are
integrated at all key stages of the production process,
and a final inspection of every individual filter
ensures the renowned high B+W quality standard.
At B+W, our commitment to our guarantee and
service are taken seriously. Continuous improvements
and new developments enable users to
achieve their best possible images. By comparison, a
cheap filter can reduce the imaging performance of
a high-quality lens quite dramatically! Therefore,
consider the quality of a filter as seriously as you
would consider the choice of your lenses – look for
the B+W brand, because the quality of the image
depends upon what is in front of the lens!
