Frequently Asked Questions
Does this filter affect image quality or introduce color casts?
No. The Master Clear 007M is designed to be optically neutral with no filter effect and no measurable light loss, so it protects your lens without altering your images.
What does the MRC Nano coating do?
MRC Nano is a multi-resistant coating that minimizes reflections and actively repels water, dust, and fingerprints, making the filter much easier to clean in the field.
Will this filter cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
The thin-profile mount is rated for use down to 17mm on full-frame format, so vignetting is unlikely at focal lengths of 17mm and above on a 52mm thread.
How can I verify this is a genuine B+W filter?
Each filter includes a QR code on the packaging that you can scan to verify its authenticity directly through B+W.
