B+W 39mm Skylight KR-1.5 (1A) MRC Filter
The B+W 39mm Skylight KR-1.5 (1A) MRC Filter is a general use filter with a slight pink tint to help improve overall color accuracy and clarity. The light pink coloration helps to reduce the overall bluish cast of daylight and is especially effective when photographing landscapes and in shade.
The Sky 1A filter is also useful as a general protective filter to leave on lenses at all times. Filters help to reduce dust and moisture from reaching your lens element and provide additional protection in case of drops or situations where scratching could occur.
The Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) is both an anti-reflection coating as well as a protective surface. It helps to increase light transmission by reducing reflections, scattered light, and ghosting. Additionally, it offers greater protection to the filter substrate and stays cleaner for longer than uncoated filters.
B+W filters are constructed from high quality Schott glass for increased optical clarity and color fidelity. They feature a brass filter ring for durability as well as jamming prevention.

Comments about B+W 39mm Skylight KR-1.5 (1A) MRC Filter:
B+W exudes quality. The manufacturing is to a very high standard. The brass mount is shallow, and won't vignette even a 21mm lens. The glass coating renders the glass almost invisible, unless you angle the light at a very shallow angle. I use one of these filters on all of my lenses. Some of the vintage lenses have very soft coatings, and will be damaged without protection. Also, I have a 2 year old who likes to poke his finger into things!
For a lens such as my Leica 8-element 35mm Summicron (ca. 1950s), which is single coated, and tends to render images somewhat bluish, this is the perfect correction filter.
For my modern lenses, I prefer the B+W UV filters. They even offer a choice of black or brushed chrome finish to match your Leica lens. B+W also offer a wide variety of sizes e.g. 27mm, to go with my Zeiss Contessa.
