B+W 1101505 62mm Master UV Haze MRC Nano Filter

The B+W 62mm Master UV Haze MRC Nano Filter sits at the top of B+W's filter hierarchy, built for photographers who want the best possible lens protection without any optical compromise. The foundation is high-quality optical glass that blocks UV wavelengths responsible for the bluish haze that can appear in outdoor images, especially at altitude or over long distances. More practically, it serves as a permanent protective barrier for your lens's front element against dust, fingerprints, moisture, and accidental contact — far cheaper to replace than a scratched lens.

What elevates the Master series above standard UV filters is the MRC Nano coating. This multi-layer coating not only reduces reflections to preserve contrast and light transmission, but its nano-technology surface treatment causes water to bead and roll off, carrying dust and debris with it. The result is a filter that stays cleaner in the field and requires less aggressive wiping that could introduce micro-scratches over time. The brass frame with its knurled edge provides a secure, reliable thread engagement that resists the jamming and cross-threading issues common with cheaper aluminum-framed filters. Its thin profile is designed to avoid vignetting even on wider focal lengths, making it suitable for permanent use across a range of 62mm-threaded lenses.
