B + W 55mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter #66-1102744

Be prepared to capture stunning, high-quality images with the B+W 55mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter. This innovative filter is designed to effectively combat unwanted UV and infrared light components that can cause color casts and blurring in your photos. Ideal for digital cameras, it addresses the issue of residual transmittance in the IR barrier in front of the image sensor, ensuring your images are crisp and clear.

Unlike other filters that rely on absorption through colored glass, the B+W 55mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter uses a unique interference method. This involves a series of wafer-thin, partially reflecting layers with a precisely calculated thickness. This advanced design allows the filter to be clear and colorless, ensuring no increase in exposure is required.

This durable filter can be left on your lens permanently, acting as a reliable protective layer against potential damage. It features a Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC), enhancing its resistance to water and dirt, and ensuring a longer lifespan.

The B+W 55mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter is ideally suited for lenses with an aperture angle up to 60 degrees. It's important to note that due to the physical principles of an interference filter, the color influence is aperture angle-dependent. As the angle of the incident light increases, it drifts towards blue. Therefore, for wide-angle lenses with an aperture angle larger than 60 degrees, the color reproduction at the edge of the image may lean towards bluish.

In conclusion, the B+W 55mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter is an essential tool for any photographer looking to enhance their image quality and protect their valuable lenses.
