B+W 1102656 49mm Basic Black & White Orange MRC Filter

The B+W 49mm Basic Black & White Orange MRC 040M filter is a purpose-built tool for monochrome photographers looking to add tonal contrast and visual drama to their images. By absorbing blue light, the orange filter darkens skies and water while brightening warm tones like skin and foliage, resulting in a more dynamic grayscale rendering. This makes it especially effective for landscapes, architecture, and portraiture shot in black and white, where tonal separation is essential to a compelling image.

The filter features B+W's MRC (Multi Resistant Coating), which serves a dual purpose: it minimizes flare and ghosting from off-axis light, and it provides a surface that resists dust, moisture, and fingerprints for easier maintenance in the field. The black knurled mount gives a confident grip when threading onto lenses, and the 49mm size is compatible with full-frame lenses down to 24mm without vignetting. B+W includes a QR code for authenticity verification, and the filter ships in eco-friendly packaging.
