The main function of this filter is to combat unwanted UV and infrared components that can interfere with image quality. It prevents color casts and blurring, particularly in digital cameras where the IR barrier displays some residual transmittance.
No, the filter is clear and colorless and does not require any increase in exposure.
Yes, the filter can be left on the lens permanently, serving as a protective barrier against potential damage.
This filter is ideal for lenses with an aperture angle up to 60 degrees. However, for wide-angle lenses with an aperture angle larger than 60 degrees, the color reproduction at the edge of the image tends to lean towards bluish.
MRC stands for Multi-Resistant Coating. It's a type of coating that enhances the durability and performance of the filter.

Take your photography to the next level with the 82mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter. This advanced filter is designed to combat the unwanted UV and infrared components that can interfere with your digital camera's image quality. It effectively prevents color casts and blurring, particularly in cameras where the IR barrier in front of the image sensor displays some residual transmittance.
Unlike other filters that rely on colored glass for absorption, the 82mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter utilizes interference. This is achieved through a series of wafer-thin, partially reflecting layers with a precisely calculated thickness. This innovative design ensures sharp-cut off absorption for superior image clarity.
The 82mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter is clear and colorless, meaning it doesn't require any increase in exposure. This makes it an ideal choice for photographers looking to enhance their image quality without complicating their shooting process.
As an added bonus, this filter can be left on your lens permanently, serving as a protective barrier against potential damage. It's MRC coated for added durability and performance.
Ideal for lenses with an aperture angle up to 60 degrees, the 82mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter ensures consistent color reproduction across your images. However, it's important to note that as the angle of the incident light increases, the color influence tends to drift towards blue. This is a physical principle of interference filters and can result in a bluish tint at the edge of the image for wide-angle lenses with an aperture angle larger than 60 degrees.
In summary, the 82mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter is a high-quality, reliable tool for photographers seeking to enhance their image quality and protect their valuable equipment.
