B + W 105mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter

Bring your photography and videography to the next level with the B+W 105mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter. This high-quality, durable filter is designed to effectively combat unwanted UV and infrared light components, enhancing image clarity and color accuracy. Unlike traditional filters that use 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 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 some residual transmittance.The B+W 486 UV-/ IR-Cut filter is clear and colorless, ensuring no increase in exposure is required. Its versatile nature allows it to be left on the lens permanently, serving as a reliable protection filter. This filter is also MRC coated, further enhancing its durability and effectiveness.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, which means as the angle of the incident light increases, it drifts towards blue. This is a physical principle that ensures optimal color reproduction, even at the edge of the image for wide-angle lenses with an aperture angle larger than 60 degrees. In essence, the B+W 105mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter is an essential tool for any photographer or videographer looking to improve image quality and protect their valuable lenses..
