Its precision F-PRO brass mount fits wide-angle lenses seamlessly, and the advanced MRC coating repels dirt and water, making cleaning effortless. Made in Germany by Schneider Kreuznach, a trusted name with NASA heritage, this filter is the professional’s choice for durable, high-quality lens protection and superior optical performance. ## Description Product Description High Quality German Filters From the Manufacturer Protect Your Lens while Reducing UV ExposureThis UV Filter blocks the invisible Ultra Violet component of light from the sky, which can cause blur and to which many color films react with a blue cast. These filters should be called UV-Blocking Filters, because there are filters for technical applications that pass UV radiation and block all the other wavelengths. Nevertheless, the short term β€œUV Filter” has become established among photographers. UV Filters are ideal for photography in high altitudes (in the mountains), by the sea and in regions with very clean air. The pictures gain brilliance and disturbing blue casts are avoided. Because the glass is colorless, color rendition is not altered, aside from the elimination of the unwanted blue cast, and no increase in exposure is required. That makes a UV Filter very suitable as protection of the front element of the taking lens against dust, flying sand, sea water spray and the like, and it can be kept on the lens at all times. It is recommended for analog color and black-and-white as well as digital photography.MRC - A Special Scratch-Resistant, Water and Dirt Repelling Coating The left half of this filter has atraditional coating. The right halfhas MRC coating. The lens elements of high-quality lenses and the plano surfaces of filters require a perfect shape and smoothness to achieve the best optical quality. Dirt, greasy fingerprints, water marks and scratches reduce the image contrast and the sharpness, which can result in blooming at light sources and have an effect similar to a soft-focus lens. A clean front lens element and clean filter surfaces are therefore an absolute pre-requisite for demanding photographers. MRC coating causes the waterto bead up and slide right off. The MRC coating is first and foremost a broadband anti-reflection coating. This means that its reflection-reducing effect, which is thus also a transmission-increasing effect, i.e. one which suppresses scattered light and ghost images and transmits more light, has a broadband action over the full spectrum. In contrast, the (almost always blue) single-layer coating only has a high effect in the medium wavelength range around yellow and yellow-green where the eye is most sensitive to light, while its effect is greatly reduced toward the blue-violet and purple-red end regions of the visible spectrum. With the MRC coating, this blue, violet and red to deep-red light cannot produce any contrast reducing scattered light, spotty reflections or ghost images. A broadband effect can only be achieved with a multilayer coating which requires a much higher effort and precision because unevenness and irregularities of the individual layers build up on one another and amplify one another. Schneider therefore uses a plasma-assisted evaporation coating process in which inert gas ions accelerated in an electrical field compact the material deposited on the lens surface in the vacuum chamber. For photographers, the main advantage of MRC coating, is it's ability to combat flare and ghosting. An added benefit is that their filters remain free of dirt longer, so that they do not have to be cleaned so often. When cleaning the filter does become necessary, it is a lot easier to wipe off the dirt with a blower brush, because of MRC's ability to repel dirt and moisture. This also reduces the risk of micro-scratches which can occur during cleaning.

Compared to the earlier standard mount, the F-Pro mount, introduced in 2001, has become thinner. Now it can be used with wide angle lenses, including most 24mm focal lengths on a full frame body, without vignetting. Another advantage of the F-Pro mount is its modified retaining ring, which is no longer threaded in from the front, but holds the filter glass in place from the back. When removing a filter or lens hood that has been screwed on too tight to the filter, the retaining ring is not at risk of loosening. Review: The Coating Really Works! If time is money, paying more for this filter is worth it! - Background and Context: I've never given haze filters much thought in the past and have used many Hoya and Tiffen filters (obviously I'm not a professional) on my lenses for the sole purpose of protection (mostly because I have a toddler). I needed a filter for my Canon 24-105 F4/L, and desertcart recommended this filter in the "frequently bought together" section of the product description. I wasn't too sure about spending the extra money on a "magic coating" for a utilitarian haze filter, but all I can say is that I am amazed with this thing and that it is definitely worth the money (see math below for justification)! Problem Statement: I waste a lot of time cleaning my lenses/haze filters (you would too if you had a toddler)- and I still can't get them crystal clear. I also need a filter that won't distort my lens, and most of all, i need something to protect my lens from damage. Math and "Business Case": Assume you have to clean your lens once a week and it takes you 10 minutes each session (you are very thorough) on your uncoated filter. That's roughly 40 minutes a month which equates to 8 hours a year. If you paid someone at minimum wage ($8.25 if you lived in Illinois)to clean your lens, that would be ~$66.00 a year. Then let's assume you will spend 1 minute every two weeks wiping off your B+W filter- using the same calculations, your cost to clean that would be $3.30 a year. So your hypothetical potential labor savings would be about ~$62/year (assuming a non-unionized workforce)- or roughly the cost of the filter at today's desertcart price. If you are looking to purchase this filter, most likely you make more than minimum wage; therefore if your time is money- this filter is definitely worth the time it gives you to do other things (such as take pictures or watching prime time network television). Evidence: The "aha moment" occurred when I took my camera to a water park for my son's birthday party; and as kids will do, they started splashing and shooting water guns at me. When I went to wipe off the lens, I was amazed that the water had actually beaded off and the filter remained relatively crystal clear- i didn't have to do anything. This never happens with my other filters as similar events would result in a long session with lens wipes/solutions, microfiber cloths, and a blower (and the filter still wouldn't be crystal clear). More Evidence: In addition, I am lazy with my cameras and the lens caps are rarely on. I just took a look at my camera and the filter is still crystal clear with no dust or smudges. I hate to sound like an infomercial but this is really amazing! OK, I've spent way too much time discussing a circular piece of glass. Bottom Line: If you hate spending a lot of time cleaning your lenses and you perceive your time as valuable, buy this filter! Cliff Notes: Pros: Crystal clear, solid quality (made in Germany like Sham Wows), and the coating really works. Will save you time. Cons: Pricier than other Haze Filters Review: Expensive but absolutely worth it. - I wish I had just ordered this filter in the beginning. These are really expensive and cause you to pause when you need to outfit seven really expensive L series Canon lenses. This is not the place to try and save some money, especially if you do any professional shooting. I originally went with HOYA top of the line MRC filters which are a bit less expensive. Unfortunately, if they get dirty, it is almost impossible to get them clean again - especially if the dirt on the filter is oily like finger prints or skin oil. No matter which optical cleaning solution you use they will leave a very slight haze on the filter and this is after almost 20 minutes of cleaning. Not a good thing to happen during a shoot when the talent and crew are standing around waiting for you. I then tested the B+W non MRC filters, these are good as long as no light source is in the frame - you will have ghosting especially at night. For about 30 additional dollars you get the MRC version and this is at the top of the filter hierarchy. I had previously worked in Motion Pictures and the B+W coatings are far superior to all the different brands I have previously worked with doing film. Finally, I bit the bullet and ordered a bunch of the B+W MRC filters. They are perfect and clean very easily. I am slowly but surely replacing all my other filters with these exceptional filters. I also use one of their circular polarizers (had to sell a kid to afford it) but it is amazing and produces great results at the right angles. Summary: This is the top of the line absolute best filter for UV haze protection that is easy to clean, durable and very high quality construction. The only downside is they are very expensive. ## Features - PROTECT YOUR EXPENSIVE CAMERA LENSES - The B + W77 mm UV haze clear camera filter is here to add 16 multi-resistant layers of protection against accidental drops, dust, flying, fingerprints, dirt, scratches sand or seawater spray.

I had used other brands in the past (most notably Singh-Ray and Tiffen), but I switched over to B&W permanently a couple years ago because it seems to be the most well-balanced product relative to price and quality. Singh-Ray is the Rolex of filters...the feel of their filters is top notch, but I was not able to discern any difference in image quality between Singh-Ray and B&W filters. Both filters feel strong and secure when fastened to the lens. Singh-Ray UV filters cost practically twice a B&W UV filter...so choosing Singh-Ray over B&W would require a very noticeable difference in quality, and from my point of view, there isn't one. There is no noticeable difference in image quality when using either a Tiffen or B&W UV filters. B&W's knurling feels a tad bit smoother, and I personally prefer the brass lettering of a B&W filter over the aluminum lettering of the Tiffen. Over time, Tiffen filters seem more prone to knicks and scratches on the surface of the filter ring...whereas B&W's filter ring seems to withstand the elements slightly better. From my experience, both filters are equally easy to screw on and off the front of the lens. Generally speaking, I strongly recommend that you use some sort of UV or clear filter on the front of your lens, if for no other reason than to protect the front element of your lens. At some point, you will bump into something, be exposed to poor weather, or will simply drop the lens onto unforgiving ground. Higher quality lenses are an investment in that they hold their value relatively well if they are kept in excellent condition. I would MUCH prefer to introduce a filter to rain or an accidental bump rather than the exposed lens element. Additionally, keeping a filter on the lens will help protect the glass from dust particles over time. It's much easier (and less stressful) to clean a filter than lens glass. B&W UV filters are an excellent balance of quality and price. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to protect the front of their lens. ## Frequently Bought Together - B + W 77mm UV Protection Filter (010) for Camera Lens – Standard Mount (F-PRO), MRC, 16 Layers Multi-Resistant Coating, Photography Filter, 77 mm, Clear Protector - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-II Memory Card - C10, U3, V60, 6K, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXEP-128G-GN4IN - B + W Clear Protection Filter for Camera Lens – Ultra Slim Titan Mount (T-PRO), 007, HTC, 16 Layers Multi-Resistant and Nano Coating, Photography Filter, 77 mm --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/430961-b-w-77mm-uv-protection-filter-010-for-camera-lens](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/430961-b-w-77mm-uv-protection-filter-010-for-camera-lens) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
