Ultraviolet (UV) camera filter B+W 010 BASIC 5.5 cm Multi Resistant Coating

The B+W 010 BASIC Ultraviolet (UV) camera filter with Multi Resistant Coating (MRC) and 5.5 cm diameter reduces atmospheric haze and helps preserve image clarity while providing protection for the front element of your lens. The filter is color-neutral and highly transparent, allowing optical information to reach the sensor without altering exposure. It is suitable for continuous use on the lens to guard against dust, sand, fingerprints and splashing water and is easier and less costly to replace than a damaged lens.

Advantages

The B+W UV 010 BASIC filter offers neutral color transmission, high transparency and low reflection thanks to the MRC coating, which minimizes stray reflections and flare. It protects the front lens element from soiling and mechanical damage, is simple to clean and does not require exposure compensation. The filter’s optical quality helps maintain image sharpness, particularly in situations where front-lens contamination would otherwise reduce clarity.

Suitable for

• Outdoor landscape and travel photography where atmospheric haze is present
• Everyday protection of lenses used in active or dusty environments
• Photographers who want a permanently mounted, color-neutral protective filter
• Digital systems where front-lens soiling can noticeably affect image quality

For persistent heavy soiling or abrasive environments, combine careful cleaning routines with periodic inspection of the filter surface to avoid transferring contaminants into the lens.
