Ultraviolet (UV) camera filter B+W T-Pro 010, 40.5 mm, MRC Nano, silver

B+W T-Pro 010 is a 40.5 mm ultraviolet (UV) camera filter designed to reduce UV haze and provide frontal protection for compact photographic lenses. The filter glass blocks ultraviolet light that can cause bluish cast and loss of clarity in outdoor and high-altitude photography. A Multi Resistant Coating (MRC) plus an additional MRC Nano treatment improves light transmission, lowers ghosting and reflections, and facilitates cleaning of the filter surface. The filter is supplied in a silver-coloured metal mount and is suitable for everyday lens protection as well as for situations where UV reduction is required.

Advantages

The B+W T-Pro 010 reduces UV-induced haze while maintaining image sharpness and accurate colour rendition. MRC and MRC Nano surface treatments minimise flare and reflections and make the glass easier to keep clean. The slim silver mount is compatible with many compact lenses and reduces vignetting on wide-angle optics. The single-piece design offers reliable front-element protection against dust, moisture and accidental contact without affecting exposure settings.

Suitable for

• Outdoor landscape and travel photography where UV haze can reduce clarity
• High-altitude or seaside shooting with increased ultraviolet presence
• Everyday frontal protection for compact lenses with 40.5 mm filter threads
• Situations requiring reduced flare and improved contrast in bright conditions

Key specifications

How to use

Screw the filter gently onto the front thread of a compatible lens (40.5 mm diameter) until it is secure; do not overtighten. Use the filter as a permanent protective element on the lens front or add it only when shooting outdoors to reduce UV haze. Clean the coated surface with a soft brush or microfiber cloth and, if necessary, a small amount of lens cleaning fluid suitable for coated optics. Store the filter in its case when not in use to avoid scratches and contamination.

Usage recommendations

For best optical results, check that the filter thread matches the lens and keep the coated surface free of dust and fingerprints. When combining with other filters or threaded accessories, choose slim mounts to minimise vignetting on wide-angle lenses. Regular gentle cleaning preserves the MRC Nano coating and maintains transmission and reflection control.
