B + W 60mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter

It's the B+W 60mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter, a high-quality, durable, and effective tool for photographers and videographers seeking to enhance their image quality. This versatile filter is expertly designed to combat unwanted UV and infrared light components, ensuring your digital camera captures only the most desirable light spectrum.

Unlike traditional filters that rely on colored glass for absorption, the B+W 486 UV-/ IR-Cut filter utilizes a unique interference method. This involves a series of wafer-thin, partially reflecting layers with a precisely calculated thickness, ensuring a sharp cut-off absorption. This innovative design prevents color casts and blurring, particularly useful for digital cameras where the IR barrier in front of the image sensor may display some residual transmittance.

The B+W 486 UV-/ IR-Cut filter is clear and colorless, ensuring no increase in exposure is required. Its reliable construction allows it to be left on the lens permanently, serving as a protective filter. With its MRC coating, this filter offers enhanced resistance to dirt and water, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.

Ideal for lenses with an aperture angle up to 60 degrees, the B+W 486 UV-/ IR-Cut filter operates on the principle of an interference filter. This results in an aperture angle-dependent color influence, dictated by physical principles. As the angle of the incident light increases, it drifts towards blue. This means that 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.

In summary, the B+W 60mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter is a reliable, high-quality choice for photographers and videographers aiming to optimize their image quality by effectively filtering out unwanted UV and IR light.
