Quality Filter

I'm not going to get into why one would want this specific type of filter - there are books on the subject that will go into a lot more detail - here is one example - there are many: The Photographer's Guide to Filters (Photographers Guide).
I will comment on the other review here in that this filter works fine if you use it as it was designed to be used, in most cases its to filter down a bright sky and keep your exposure correct for the rest of the shot (landscape). It is a round filter, so yes, you are limited on some of the choices compared to external plate filters, but that doesn't mean this filter is a flop.
B+W filters are made in Germany. Germany is consistenly one of the best producers of high end glass and optics. I have been told the reason the quality of these filters is better than most is that they don't make them as separate units, but instead they build a cylinder of glass and cut each filter off of it. Consistent quality. Screw ring is hard metal, so it is very difficult to strip the threads. I have messed up the threads on cheaper brands by accident.
In my experience, buying filters falls into the category of you get what you pay for. Cheaper brands are out there, but if you want a very high quality filter, that is durable and consistent with what you want to achieve with it... you can't go wrong with B+W filters.
Be sure to choose the right size - for example, Nikon prints the size on the back of the lens cap.
