Overview

The B+W 86mm Master Clear MRC Nano 007M filter is designed as a permanent lens protector that shields your front element from scratches, dust, moisture, and accidental contact without compromising optical performance. The filter glass is color-neutral and highly transparent, introducing no measurable light loss or color shift. Its defining feature is the B+W MRC Nano coating — a multi-resistant coating that dramatically reduces reflections to prevent flare and ghosting, while its hydrophobic and oleophobic properties cause water to bead and roll off the surface and make fingerprints and smudges easy to wipe clean.

The filter is built on a thin-profile black knurled mount that serves two purposes: the low-profile design prevents vignetting on full-frame lenses with focal lengths as wide as 17mm, while the textured knurling provides a secure grip for hand-tightening. B+W has also introduced a QR code verification system on this Master line, allowing buyers to confirm authenticity — a meaningful addition for an 86mm filter where the investment is significant. Packaged in eco-friendly materials, the Master Clear is built for photographers who want uncompromised protection on their high-end optics.
