B + W 52mm Basic 010M UV Haze MRC Filter #66-1100137

After investing in high-quality camera equipment, it's essential to protect your gear from the elements. The B+W 52mm Basic 010M UV Haze MRC Filter, a classic among protection filters, is designed to block the disruptive UV component of daylight. This invisible UV light, which is more intense in pure sea air and high mountain regions, can cause image blurring and a blueish cast.

The B+W 010 UV Haze filter, color-neutral and suitable for both analog and digital cameras, ensures more brilliant images. It can remain on the lens permanently, providing front lens protection against environmental factors such as blowing sand and dust, fingerprints, and splashing water.

Active photography demands a lot from both cameras and lenses, making it prudent to use a B+W filter to safeguard your delicate front lens element. Not only are B+W filters more cost-effective than replacing a lens, but they are also easier to clean.

Thanks to the B+W MRC coating, these filters are highly transparent and have an extremely low reflection, allowing the optical information to reach the image sensor (or film) unaffected. These clear and highly transparent B+W protection filters require no exposure compensation factor, simplifying your photography process.

In digital photography, protection filters play a particularly important role due to the larger depth of field resulting from smaller image sensors. This can amplify the effects on image quality from front lens soiling. Fingerprints, for instance, can significantly reduce sharpness, especially in zoom lenses with lower light intensity. Frequent cleaning of the front lens can not only cause scratching but also transport dirt particles or moisture to the inside of the lens system. With the B+W 52mm Basic 010M UV Haze MRC Filter, you can protect your lens and enhance your photography.
