B+W MRC Basic filters are made with the exclusive Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) nano premium coating technology. This high-quality broadband coating is applied on both sides and enhances the optical imaging properties, allowing uniform and increased transmittance across the entire light spectrum to be achieved, with minimal physically induced remaining reflection. The nano all-around protection on the filter glass also ensures increased scratch resistance and extremely fast, easy cleaning, providing a long filter life. The slim filter ring design is compatible with wide-angle lenses with an equivalent width of a 17mm full-frame lens. The top knurling is redesigned for enhanced gripping.

Fine quality filter

Very nice product. Bought it for my B&W photography (Q2M). I won’t be using this filter as much as the orange or the red filter for that matter. It’s a subtle change when using the yellow filter but this is debatable of course, depending on who you ask. B&H had the best price so it was a no-brainer to order from B&H.

Great filter
