Lens filter B+W 77mm Orange 550 MRC Basic by B&W (1102664)

B+W 77mm Orange 550 MRC Basic by B&W is a screw-in photographic lens filter designed for lenses with a 77 mm filter thread. The Orange 550 filter shifts color balance toward warm orange tones to produce creative color effects or to correct color rendering under specific lighting. The MRC (multi-resistant coating) reduces surface reflections, improves light transmission and eases cleaning, while the Basic line offers a compact, lightweight frame compatible with a wide range of camera lenses.

Advantages

The filter provides controlled warming and color alteration useful for creative portrait and landscape photography without altering exposure significantly. The multi-resistant coating minimizes ghosting and flare while maintaining contrast and sharpness. Its screw-in design ensures secure attachment and simple compatibility with lenses that have a 77 mm thread. The slim metal mount reduces the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses and stays lightweight for easy handling in the field.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography to add warm skin tones or mood
• Landscape photography for enhancing warm sunlight and autumn hues
• Creative and experimental color work in-studio or on location
• Color correction under mixed or artificial lighting conditions

Key specifications

• Thread diameter: 77 mm
• Filter type: Orange color filter (warming / color cast)
• Coating: Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) to reduce reflections and improve transmission
• Mount: Screw-in slim metal frame for reduced vignetting
• Compatibility: Designed for photographic lenses with 77 mm filter threads

How to use

Screw the filter onto the front thread of a compatible 77 mm lens until it is secure but not overtightened. Compose and set exposure as usual; the filter alters color balance toward orange so you may adjust white balance or exposure settings to achieve the desired result. For consistent results in mixed lighting, test and fine-tune white balance in-camera or correct color in post-processing. Remove the filter when neutral color rendering is required.

Usage recommendations

Keep the filter clean and store it in a protective case when not in use. Clean coated surfaces with a soft blower, lens brush and microfiber cloth using appropriate lens cleaner to preserve the MRC properties. When shooting wide-angle lenses, confirm there is no vignetting; use the slim frame orientation to minimize edge darkening.
