The B+W 67mm MRC Basic Circular Polarizing Filter is a premium CPL filter engineered for photographers who demand true optical clarity and vivid, haze-free images. Built with renowned Schott optical glass and B+W’s exclusive Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) nano technology applied to both sides, it delivers uniform light transmission across the full spectrum while providing exceptional scratch resistance and effortless cleaning.
Designed for seamless use with autofocus cameras, this 67mm polarizing filter effectively eliminates glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass, and foliage. With a filter factor of 2 to 2.8x (+1 to 1.5 stops), it deepens sky tones, enriches color saturation, and cuts through atmospheric haze — all without any need for post-production corrections.
Key features
- Eliminates Reflections & Glare: Filters out polarized light from non-metallic surfaces like water, windows, and car windshields, revealing hidden detail without post-processing.
- Reduces Landscape Haze: Counters naturally polarized atmospheric scatter to produce cleaner, crisper outdoor and landscape shots with greater depth.
- Richer Color & Tonal Saturation: Deepens blue skies and enhances the vibrancy of foliage and natural colors for more impactful, true-to-life imagery.
- MRC Nano Multi-Resistant Coating: Broadband coating on both sides maximizes light transmittance, minimizes residual reflection, and provides superior scratch resistance for long filter life.
- Premium Schott Optical Glass in Brass Frame: High-grade optical glass seated in a durable brass frame with enhanced knurling ensures precise, easy attachment and consistent optical performance.
- Autofocus Compatible & Ready to Shoot: Circular polarizing design works perfectly with all autofocus camera systems and includes a 100% cotton storage pouch for safe transport.

Frequently asked questions
What is the exposure compensation needed when using the B+W 67mm MRC Basic CPL Filter?
This filter has a filter factor of 2 to 2.8x, which translates to approximately +1 to 1.5 stops of exposure compensation depending on the angle of polarization used.
Will this circular polarizing filter work with my autofocus camera?
Yes. The B+W 67mm MRC Basic is specifically designed as a circular polarizing filter, making it fully compatible with autofocus camera systems without interfering with the autofocus or metering mechanisms.
What makes the MRC coating on this B+W filter special?
The MRC (Multi-Resistant Coating) is a nano premium broadband coating applied to both sides of the Schott optical glass. It enhances light transmittance across the entire spectrum, minimizes residual reflections, and provides increased scratch resistance for easier, faster cleaning and a longer filter lifespan.
