B + W 52mm Master 010M UV Haze MRC Nano Filter

Under the umbrella of B+W's esteemed line of protection filters, the 52mm Master 010M UV Haze MRC Nano Filter stands out as a high-quality, durable, and effective solution for photographers. This filter is designed to block the disruptive UV component of daylight, which is particularly intense in sea air and high mountain regions, and can cause image blurring and a blueish cast.

The B+W 010 UV Haze filter is color-neutral, making it a versatile choice for both analog and digital cameras. It enhances image brilliance and can be left on the lens permanently for front lens protection. This is particularly beneficial for active photographers who expose their equipment to elements such as blowing sand, dust, fingerprints, and splashing water.

B+W filters are not only cost-effective compared to a new lens, but they also offer ease of cleaning. The 52mm Master 010M UV Haze MRC Nano Filter, in particular, boasts a B+W MRC nano-coating, which ensures extremely low reflection, maintaining the absolute color neutrality and high transparency of the filter.

The optical information remains unaffected when it reaches the image sensor (or film), meaning no exposure compensation factor needs to be considered. This filter plays a particularly important role in digital photography, where the larger depth of field from smaller image sensors amplifies the effects on image quality from front lens soiling.

Fingerprints, for instance, can significantly reduce sharpness, especially in zoom lenses with lower light intensity. Frequent cleaning of the front lens can not only cause scratching but also transport dirt particles or moisture at the edge of the mount to the inside of the lens system. The 52mm Master 010M UV Haze MRC Nano Filter serves as an easy-to-use, effective barrier against these potential issues, ensuring your lens remains clean and your images sharp.
