Where these two actually differ
- We flag Wear debris or microplastics from threaded connections and Bacterial or fungal growth in sealed filter housing on the GoPro and not on the B+W.
- The B+W is Optical glass lens with multi-coated optical surfaces where the GoPro is optical glass and plastic filter elements, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
