B+W Basic 007 Clear Overview

The 52mm MRC BASIC 007 Clear Filter from B+W protects the front of your lens against the elements such as sand, dust, fingerprints, and splashing water. The filter is fully color-neutral and highly transparent. Featuring B+W's standard MRC coating (as opposed to MRC nano), it also has an extremely low reflection. The optical information remains unaffected when it reaches the image sensor.

The hydrophobic coating reduces the adhesion tendency of dirt particles and water droplets. With MRC coating, water droplets take on a rounded shape. They bead away from the surface, and a dirt- and water-repellent effect occurs.

B+W Basic 007 Clear Reviews

Perfect fit

By Larry
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-04-23

Received new clear filter and initial examination showed it was sturdy and very clear and clean. Installed on lens smoothly and securely. I just wanted to try B&W brand because of the good ratings. Quality Control looks to be very good. Price is important to everyone and this is a little more expensive than let’s say Tiffen ( which I have used exclusively) so we shall see in the long term. Very satisfied with my purchase.

What's the difference between the Master and the Basic?
Asked by: Gregory
The MRC BASIC 007 Clear Filter would lack the scratch resistance of the MRC MASTER version. Otherwise, both have a knurled ring and are resistant to water droplets/dust/dirt.
