How does that filter effect image quality? Looks like sideways lighting may flare/ghost/haze things up.
It's made with SCHOTT glass, and I haven't noticed any increased ghosting or veiling. While it might not be as good as B+W, I haven't done a direct comparison.
In my opinion, modern lenses don't need a shade for flare resistance. I only use hoods with my vintage lenses like the 50/1 Noct, 50/2 Rigid, 50/1.5 Summarit, etc. Not using the hood on them can significantly affect contrast, depending on the lighting conditions.
These filters are 1.2mm in thickness. In comparison the ultra slim B+W are around 3.3mm.
From their site:
https://www.un-ltd.co.jp/unx-9616unx-9626-en/
"This is UN’s original eins Super Protect Filter for classic lenses, designed to be as thin as possible (1.2mm thick when mounted / 2.2mm for UNX-9616).
Made of world famous glass made by SCHOTT, water/oil repellent coating and inked finish on outer circumference of the lens to suppress reflectance less than 0.3%.
The design of the filter is a classic, old-fashioned shape.
Available in 10 sizes: 19mm, 22mm, 22.5mm, 24mm, 34mm, 39mm, 41mm, 43mm, 46mm, 49mm."
