72mm MRC UV (010)

Absorbs ultraviolet light and reduces the bluish cast of daylight

This UV Filter blocks the invisible UV component of light from the sky, which can cause blur and to which many colour films react with a blue cast. UV Filters are ideal for photography in high altitudes (in the mountains), by the sea and in regions with very clean air. The pictures gain brilliance and disturbing blue casts are avoided. Because the glass is colourless, colour rendition is not altered, aside from the elimination of the unwanted blue cast, and no increase in exposure is required. That makes a UV Filter very suitable as protection of the front element of the taking lens against dust, flying sand, sea water spray and the like, and it can be kept on the lens at all times. It is recommended for analog colour and black-and-white as well as digital photography.

It features B+W's Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC), which is not only an extraordinarily effective multiple layer coating, it is also harder than glass to protect filters from scratches (for instance when cleaning the filters), and it is also water and dirt repellent, thus facilitating filter maintenance.
