Key Features
  • 0.9 Optical Density
  • MRC Multi-Resistant Coating
  • Darkens Entire Image
  • Allows Reduced Shutter Speed
The 77mm B+W MRC 103M ND 0.9 Filter is a neutral density filter with a 8x filter factor that provides a 3-stop exposure reduction. Its 0.9 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By increasing the aperture or slowing your exposure time, you can control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

B+W 103M Overview

The 77mm B+W MRC 103M ND 0.9 Filter is a neutral density filter with a 8x filter factor that provides a 3-stop exposure reduction. Its 0.9 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By increasing the aperture or slowing your exposure time, you can control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface includes eight layers of anti-reflection coating. This Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) also offers greater protection to the filter substrate and helps it to stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters. B+W filters are constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity. This filter features an F-Pro brass filter ring for durability as well as jamming prevention.

Excellent good quality filter

B W filters has always been my brand of choice. I bought this 3 Stop ND filter as recommended by another photographer who is using it to reduce backgroung sun glare and reflexions when shooting outdoors portraits. This filter replaces the need to shoot in High Speed Sync (HSS). Using this filter in backlight portrait can reduce background exposure 3 Stops while at the same time you can use full flash power on your subject. I tested at the beach and gave me great results. I use Godox V860II flash and this ND filter attached to my Nikon Z6Ii, Z 24-120 /F S lens

Everything you expect from B+W products. Nothing much more to say. I needed a ND for three different lenses. Bought this 77mm and two step-up rings ... which allowed me to buy the best filter for all three.

A great filter so far. Does not affect color. Very slim profile so less chance of vignetting.

question

Would this filter vignette on the full frame Nikon 16-35mm @ 16mm? ... thanks
Asked by: Anonymous
If you are using only this single filter it will not vignette on this lens at 16mm. If you have stacked it upon another lens there is the possibility it will vignette.

question

This is 77mm but suggested as an accessory for the 85mm Sony 1.4 Gmaster lens.I'm confused. Will it fit the Sony 85mm Gmaster? If it will, what's up with the disparity in mm sizes?Thanks.

Hi Ben, I have no idea about this question. It fits my Canon lenses and is a great filter. Steve

question

I do not have a lot of experience with Neutral Density filters. I bought one that is a 10 stop, and I did not realize that I would not be able to see through it. So it is much more work setting up my shot. Will I be able to see through a 3 stop filter?
Asked by: Lisa
Yes, You can easily see thru it.
