The **B+W 55mm UV-Haze #010 MRC Basic Filter** is a premium lens filter engineered for photographers who demand optical clarity without compromise.

### Frequently asked questions

**Does the B+W 55mm UV filter affect my exposure or change image colours?**
No. The B+W 55mm UV-Haze #010 has a 1x filter factor (+0 stop), meaning it requires absolutely no exposure compensation. Its 99.5% light transmission ensures your images remain true to life, while it only cuts invisible ultraviolet light and reduces the bluish atmospheric haze in daylight conditions.

**What makes the MRC coating on this B+W UV filter special?**
MRC stands for Multi-Resistant Coating – a 7-layer Broadband coating applied to each side of the German Schott glass. It minimises residual reflections for high-contrast images, and the surface treatment repels water, dirt, and oils while offering strong resistance to scratches and abrasions, keeping the filter cleaner for longer.

**Will this filter cause vignetting on my wide-angle lens?**
The B+W 55mm UV filter is built with a low-profile brass ring specifically to minimise vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses. The ring also features front threads, allowing you to stack additional filters or attach a lens cap without removing it.
