About B + W Basic 486M UV/IR Filter

Enhance your photography and videography experience with the B+W 46mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter. This high-quality filter is designed to effectively combat unwanted UV and infrared light components that can compromise the clarity and color accuracy of your images.

Unlike traditional filters that rely on colored glass for absorption, the B+W 46mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter employs a unique interference method. This involves a series of wafer-thin, partially reflecting layers with a meticulously calculated thickness. This innovative design ensures a sharp cut-off absorption, preventing color casts and blurring that can occur in digital cameras where the IR barrier in front of the image sensor displays residual transmittance.

The B+W 46mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter is clear and colorless, ensuring that it does not require any increase in exposure. This makes it an easy-to-use and versatile addition to your camera gear, suitable for both professionals and hobbyists alike.

Designed to be durable, this filter can be left on the lens permanently, serving as a protective layer against potential damage. It is MRC coated, further enhancing its durability and effectiveness.

Ideal for lenses with an aperture angle up to 60 degrees, the B+W 46mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter operates on the principle of interference filter, which results in an aperture angle-dependent color influence. As the angle of the incident light increases, it drifts towards blue, ensuring that for wide-angle lenses with an aperture angle larger than 60 degrees, the color reproduction at the edge of the image leans towards bluish, adding a unique touch to your captures.

Incorporate the B+W 46mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter into your photography equipment for clearer, more accurate color reproduction, and improved overall image quality.
