Questions & Answers

FAQ

What is the purpose of the 6-stop reduction in light?

The 6-stop reduction in light allows for extended exposure times without changing the aperture, enabling creative effects such as rendering running water hazy and soft.

What materials are used in the construction of this filter?

The filter is made from finely ground and polished special glass to ensure superior optical quality. It also features a multi-layer anti-reflective coating and a dirt- and water-repellent outer layer for protection and easy maintenance.

Can I use this ND filter for direct solar observation?

No, ND filters are not suitable for direct visual solar observation due to the risk of blinding. They allow UV- and IR-rays to pass through, which can harm the eyes. Special sun filters for direct observation of the sun are available from astronomy suppliers.

Does the filter affect the color of the images?

No, the filter provides uniform light attenuation across the entire visible range, resulting in optimally color-neutral image results without color cast.

What is the benefit of the multi-layer anti-reflective coating?

Rated 5 out of 5

Exceptional quality every time

After decades of photography I've only recently begun experimenting with ND filters. When I decided to try this out there wasn't even the briefest hesitation that I would choose B+W. They've been my brand of choice for UV filters for the last twenty years, and I feel absolute confidence in their quality and value.

Does what it says on the tin.

I'm a big fan of B+W filters so I knew when I started to get into M glass that I was gonna need a few. For one thing I wanted an ND filter to be able to achieve some creamy bokeh shots and it does exactly that. Very well made, filters 100% recommend.

About B + W Master ND Filter

Overcome the challenges of intense lighting conditions with the 86mm Master 806M ND 1.8 6-Stop MRC Nano Neutral Density Filter. This high-performance B+W ND filter significantly reduces light transmission by six f-stops, making it an exceptional tool for photographers seeking to manipulate exposure times without altering aperture or depth of field.

Transform a 1/60 s exposure time into a full second, enabling you to create ethereal effects such as rendering running water hazy and soft. Please note, a tripod is recommended for stability when using this filter.

Constructed from finely ground and polished special glass, this ND filter ensures superior optical quality without negatively impacting the performance of your high-quality lenses. The filter utilizes advanced thin-film technology, offering more than just a pure ND filter effect.

The filter features a unique coating combination that not only optimizes the ND filter effect but also includes a multi-layer anti-reflective component. With seven layers per filter side, this component effectively minimizes unwanted reflections.

The final layer of the filter is a protective outer layer with dirt- and water-repellent properties. This layer not only safeguards the filter but also simplifies the cleaning and maintenance process, ensuring your filter remains in optimal condition for longer.
