Overview

The B+W 60mm UV Protection Filter (010) with MRC coating is built to serve two purposes: shielding your lens from physical damage and filtering ultraviolet light that can cause haze in outdoor photography. The filter uses high-quality glass paired with B+W's Multi-Resistant Coating, which applies 16 layers to both sides of the glass. This coating minimizes light reflections that cause flare and ghosting while also making the filter surface resistant to water, dust, oil, and fingerprints, keeping it cleaner in the field and easier to maintain.

The F-PRO mount is constructed from brass, providing a more durable and precise threading experience than aluminum mounts. Brass resists cross-threading and is less prone to binding on lens threads, which is important for a filter that may be mounted and removed frequently or left on permanently. As a 60mm filter, it fits a specific subset of lenses with that front thread diameter. The filter adds minimal weight and thickness to the lens assembly, making it a practical choice for photographers who want unobtrusive, always-on protection without swapping filters for different shooting conditions.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

The 16-layer MRC coating effectively reduces reflections, flare, and ghosting for cleaner images.
The glass construction maintains optical clarity without introducing noticeable distortion or softness.
The F-PRO brass mount is durable and resistant to cross-threading compared to aluminum alternatives.
It serves as a permanent protective barrier for the front lens element against scratches, dust, and moisture.

👎 Cons

The 60mm thread size is uncommon, limiting compatibility to a narrow range of lenses.
The F-PRO standard-profile mount may cause vignetting on ultra-wide-angle lenses.
It is priced higher than basic UV filters from budget brands, which may matter for a purely protective accessory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the MRC coating on this B+W filter do?

The Multi-Resistant Coating consists of 16 layers that reduce reflections, minimize flare and ghosting, and repel water, dirt, and fingerprints from the filter surface, helping maintain image quality.

Will this filter fit any lens with a 60mm thread size?

Yes, the B+W 60mm UV filter uses standard screw-in threading and will fit any lens with a 60mm front filter thread diameter.

Does the F-PRO mount add any vignetting on wide-angle lenses?

The F-PRO mount uses a standard-profile brass ring. On ultra-wide-angle lenses, some vignetting may occur at the widest focal lengths. A slim-profile mount would be better suited for extreme wide-angle use.

Can I leave this filter on my lens permanently for protection?

Yes, many photographers keep a UV protection filter mounted at all times. It acts as a physical barrier against scratches, dust, and impacts to the front element without meaningfully affecting image quality.
