Overview

The B+W 86mm UV Protection Filter with F-PRO mount is a dependable choice for photographers who want to keep a protective element on their lens at all times without sacrificing image quality. The filter's optical glass is coated with 16 layers of B+W's Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC), which serves a dual purpose: it minimizes reflections and flare that could reduce contrast, and it provides a degree of surface resistance against fingerprints and light abrasion. On the UV side, the filter absorbs ultraviolet radiation that can cause a bluish haze in landscape and outdoor photography, helping produce cleaner, more neutral images straight out of camera.

The F-PRO mount is B+W's standard professional-grade ring, machined from brass for durability and precise threading. It fits securely onto 86mm lens threads without the wobble or cross-threading issues that can plague cheaper filters, and its internal front thread accepts lens hoods and additional filters for stacking. While the F-PRO mount is not as slim as B+W's T-PRO titanium line, it remains suitable for wide-angle use in most situations and offers a robust, time-tested design. Manufactured by Schneider Kreuznach in Germany, this filter carries the weight of a company whose optics have been trusted in applications ranging from professional cinema to NASA missions.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • 16-layer MRC coating effectively reduces reflections, flare, and ghosting while protecting the glass surface
  • Precision-machined F-PRO mount threads smoothly and fits accurately on 86mm lens threads
  • Blocks UV light to reduce haze and blue color cast in outdoor and landscape photography
  • Made by Schneider Kreuznach in Germany with over a century of optical manufacturing expertise
  • Front internal thread allows attaching a lens hood or stacking additional filters

👎 Cons

  • Standard F-PRO mount is thicker than T-PRO or XS-PRO lines, increasing vignetting risk on ultra-wide lenses
  • Lacks the hydrophobic nano coating found on B+W's higher-tier filters, making field cleaning less effortless
  • The 86mm size carries a price premium over more common filter diameters
  • MRC coating, while durable, does not repel water and oil as effectively as nano-treated alternatives
