A B+W 40.5mm Haze (UV) MRC Filter is a wise initial investment. It helps protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs. If desired it can be left on the lens at all times for protection. A haze filter provides additional benefits of correction for Ultraviolet (UV) light which can register on film and videotape as a bluish cast and can obscure distant details. An ultraviolet filter allows you to correct for the UV effect to varying degrees.
A B+W UV MRC filter is an excellent general purpose filter since it will not only protect your front element from airborne contaminants as well as fingerprints but also help you get better images at high altitude and while on the water. Using this filter will diminish the bluish cast caused by the various atmospheric factors, yet, it will not have an effect on the color balance of your shot. No increase in exposure is required.
The filter ring is made from brass yielding a stronger product. Brass filter rings are also less prone to jamming. In addition, the seal between the glass and filter ring is exceptionally strong giving the filter added strength and durability. The excellent Schott Glass used in the manufacturing of this filter is legendary and synonymous with the highest standards of filter production. It comes with a solid 10-year warranty.
The MRC coating on this filter adds to its durability - particularly under less than optimal weather conditions. In addition, the hard coating makes cleaning the filter easier - especially when it comes to removing fingerprints or surface dirt. Moreover, this filter benefits users of digital cameras whose shorter focal length lenses are more susceptible to dirt and other contaminants on the front lens element.
Multi-coated to minimize reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting.

Comments about B+W 40.5mm UV Haze 010 F-Pro MRC Filter:
I've recently restored and now use my Dad's Zeiss-Ikon Contax IIIa -- a post-war classic. It's tiny 50mm f/1.5 is just as valuable or more than the camera. I would not wish to damage the glass, hence the filter. Protection.

Comments about B+W 40.5mm UV Haze 010 F-Pro MRC Filter:
Purchased for my Olympus EP-2 camera. B&W filters are a little higher priced than the competitors but the quality of the glass and lack of chromatic aberation and flare definitely make them a good investment. I largely use the UV Haze filter to keep dust and dirt from the lens in everyday use.

B+W are top notch filters at a relatively reasonable price. Excellent construction and quality optics. I use them on all of my lenses for both their protective qualities as well as the UV haze filtering. Highly recommended.
