B+W 1100145 82mm UV Haze MRC Filter

The B+W 82mm UV Haze MRC 010M is a lens protection filter built for photographers who want to keep high-end glass safe without compromising the image quality they paid for. At 82mm, you're likely mounting this on serious optics — fast zooms, premium primes, or cine glass where every element in the optical path matters. The MRC (Multi Resistant Coating) does two things well: it suppresses internal reflections that cause flare and ghosting when you're shooting into strong light, and it resists surface contamination so fingerprints and moisture don't degrade your shots between cleanings. The optical glass itself is color-neutral, transmitting light without the warm or cool shifts that cheaper UV filters can introduce, particularly noticeable in whites and skies.

The brass mounting ring is a practical choice at this filter diameter. Large filters are more prone to cross-threading during hurried lens changes, and brass is more forgiving than aluminum — it grips cleanly, turns smoothly, and doesn't cold-weld to your lens threads after temperature swings during outdoor shoots. The black knurled edge provides a confident grip even when your fingers are cold or you're working quickly between setups. B+W rates this profile as safe down to 24mm on full-frame, which covers most professional zoom ranges, though photographers working at wider focal lengths or stacking filters should consider the slimmer XS-Pro mount. The included QR code for authenticity verification is a welcome addition in a market where counterfeit filters are a genuine risk at the 82mm price tier. For working photographers who treat UV filters as permanent lens protection, this is reliable, optically honest glass backed by a brass ring that will outlast the jobs you put it through.
