What is the difference between this filter and the XS-Pro 49mm filter that is about $8 more?

Both are professional quality filters. The F-Pro filter is the standard model and works on most lenses. That is what I got. It is perfect for telephoto lenses. The XS-Pro is specially designed for super wide angle lenses. It's construction is a little different and you pay more. You don't want the filter to hit the lens glass. The F-Pro will work on most basic wide angle lenses but you need the XS-Pro for super wide angle lenses. B+W Schneider Optics, Inc. catalog goes into the details but often the photographic supplier will tell you what filter type goes with the lens you are buying or have.

I believe the difference is the level of filtration. I use the ez4 b/c It filters out more and smaller contaminant particles

I've used it extensively. Skin tones still look spot on and I don't have any sharpness issues which would show up because the Fuji 56mm I use it on is extremely sharp so I was worried about that. Honestly I'm quite surprised how well it works for a budget filter. I was a B&W only guy but this one has been a nice surprise. No magenta shift like I typically see with budget filters, nice fit too.

In days past Tiffen was a good quality middle of the road (cost) filter. They've cheaped them up to point I wouldn't own one. Hoya is a similar filter. The best filter's I've used over last 45 years are by B + W.

It's a bit smudgy. I use it now to protect old lenses that I don't use much. B+W, Hoya, Tiffen, are all good filters that I currently use and I haven't had any problems with. I advise paying the extra few bucks for the better filters that will last longer.

They also sell those filters right here on Amazon. Just look up filter H, i believe thats the code abbreviation for this particular model. Theyre around 8 bucks, but I hear they last long!

I think the only difference is the color...I do not like the Starkey filters. They are too small and plug up quickly. Just sayin'

Yes it performs very well like brand filter which is close to about $40 price. When I got them in my mail box, they were bent and doesn't Falwell in the slot tight. However, I can live with the permomance vs the price ratio and they are really good quality filters. I am happy with the purchase

No such thing as better or not. Really depends on what you shoot and how you shoot. I use it only because it is good protection for my lens. Since the SONY 1.8/55mm is a great lens, I use an equally good filter produced by Carl Zeiss.

I really don't know much about Canon since I've always owned Nikon cameras. However, if you go to http://www.neocamera.com/camera/canon/sx50hs you will see (eighth row down on the left) it states that the filter diameter is 49mm. I hope this has been helpful.

50 Micron pre-filter and 5 micron post-filter. The filter is more densely wrapped toward the core.

Who knows? There are better filters out there. The one I got did not come with any paper work that details its campliblities. A monolithic filter or the ones that go in a Berky are good filters. They list exactly what they filter out.

Pro comes with three plugs, in case you loose one. The pro come with three filters with differing filter leveld vs two with the non-pro version

You'll need a bigger filter. The Fujifilm XF 18-55mm F2.8-4.0 requires a 58mm. This one's a 52mm

I'm not sure since I didn't get to see a comparison between the two when I went to Best Buy, but I found out that the PN42B400 model has the same E-panel technology (wide enhancer 2, .001ms response, 600Hz subfield motion, mega dynamic contrast ratio) as PN42B450's, except for the Filterbright antiglare feature. For me, it didn't justify paying an extra $124 just for Filterbright and a few extra ports. Hope that helps!

Both units look good to me. I own the hunter, and I have been extremely happy with it. It creates a moderate type of white noise on the medium setting, for me this masks household noise and helps me sleep. I think the cost of the filters should be a factor you look at in comparing the two. It looks like the winix filters are 2X the hunter.

This filter is for the "standard" housing, the one that comes with the gopro, NOT the "deep water" housing. I made the mistake of buying the other one and having to return it for this one.
