Frequently Asked Questions
What does the MRC Nano coating do on this filter?
The Multi-Resistant Coating with nano technology creates a surface that actively repels water, dust, and fingerprints. This keeps the filter cleaner during shooting and makes it significantly easier to wipe clean compared to uncoated or standard-coated filters.
Will this thin-profile filter cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
B+W rates this filter as compatible with focal lengths down to 17mm on full-frame cameras without vignetting, so it handles most wide-angle lenses well within its 55mm filter size.
How can I verify that my B+W Master filter is authentic?
Each filter includes a QR code that you can scan to verify its authenticity directly through B+W, helping you confirm you have a genuine product and not a counterfeit.
Does this UV filter add any visible effect to images?
The filter is designed to be optically neutral in the visible spectrum. Its primary purpose is to block ultraviolet light that can cause haze and to physically protect your front lens element from dust, moisture, and scratches.
What is the knurled rim for?
The black knurled profile on the filter ring provides a textured grip surface, making it easier to thread the filter on and off your lens by hand, even with cold or wet fingers.
