Those of us who want to shoot photographs successfully and with pleasure should make sure that they have reliable good-quality equipment.
The focus should not only be directed toward cameras and lenses, but should also include the little things that are sometimes overlooked as seemingly unimportant. For this reason, the B+W filter range has been expanded to include accessories that, in combination with filters, are necessary and useful.
The lens hood is an essential accessory for better pictures and should always be used to prevent flare. As well as shielding stray light, lens hoods also provide effective physical protection of the delicate front lens against raindrops, accidental contact (fingerprints reduce the contrast considerably!) and from accidental knocks and bangs.
B+W lens hoods have an all-purpose design and fit many different lenses.
B+W adapter rings for fitting filters, auxiliary or conversion lenses, and other attachments to lenses with different filter thread sizes. They are generally used to adapt filters or attachments with a larger diameter to lenses with a smaller diameter.
For photographic equipment that includes lenses with 52 mm and 49 mm filter threads, for example, they enable 52 mm filters to be used on both groups of lenses. This not only saves money, but also saves space and weight in your camera bag.
The B+W Snap-Cap Pro 311 is a lens cap with two spring-loaded plastic claws that click into the filter thread. This ensures that the cover sits firmly and securely without any time-consuming screwing and unscrewing. The claws can be operated from the side as well as from above. The cap can therefore be fitted and removed through a lens hood, as long its barrel is not too long.
