Frequently Asked Questions
What does the MRC coating on this B+W filter do?
The Multi-Resistant Coating minimizes flare and ghosting caused by stray light, helping maintain image sharpness and contrast even when shooting toward bright light sources.
What types of photography benefit most from this light red filter?
This filter excels at black-and-white photography, where it darkens blue skies for dramatic cloud contrast, simulates moonlight effects, and enhances tonal separation between subjects.
Will this 39mm filter cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
B+W rates this filter as suitable for focal lengths down to 24mm on full-frame format, so it should not cause vignetting at or above that focal length.
Is the filter mount made of plastic or metal?
The mount is made of brass with a black knurled finish, providing a secure grip and resistance to cross-threading compared to aluminum or plastic mounts.
Can this filter be used for color photography?
It is specifically designed for black-and-white work. When used on a color image, it will introduce a strong red color cast, which is generally undesirable for standard color photography.
