Overview

The B+W 60mm XS-PRO MRC Nano UV filter is a premium lens protection and UV-blocking filter manufactured by Schneider Kreuznach in Germany. Its primary function is twofold: to shield your lens from physical hazards like dust, scratches, fingerprints, and moisture, and to filter out ultraviolet light that can cause a blue haze in outdoor images. The 16-layer Multi-Resistant Nano Coating is the standout feature, creating a hydrophobic and oleophobic surface that causes water and oils to bead up and roll off, making field cleaning far simpler than with uncoated or standard-coated filters.

The XS-PRO mount is precision-machined to be as thin as possible, which is critical for photographers using wide-angle lenses where thicker filter rings can intrude into the frame and cause dark corners. Despite its slim profile, the mount retains a front thread for attaching lens hoods or stacking additional filters. The optical glass is designed to be completely neutral, introducing no measurable color shift or loss of sharpness, so the filter can remain on the lens permanently as a transparent protective barrier.
