B+W 72mm UV-Haze MRC Filter — German Schott glass, 7-layer Multi-Resistant Coating, 99.5% transmission, brass ring, scratch & water repellent lens protection.

The **B+W 72mm UV-Haze #010 MRC Basic Filter** is a premium lens filter engineered to reduce ultraviolet light transmission and eliminate the bluish atmospheric cast that can affect outdoor and daylight photography — all without influencing exposure by a single stop. With 99.5% light transmission, it sits in front of your lens almost invisibly, preserving colour fidelity and contrast in every shot.

Built around precision **German Schott optical glass** and housed in a durable **brass filter ring**, this B+W UV filter goes far beyond simple UV protection. Its 7-layer Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) on each side repels dirt, water and scratches, while the low-profile, enhanced-knurling design ensures smooth, secure mounting — making it an essential everyday protector for 72mm lenses.

### Key features

- **Cuts UV & Bluish Cast:** Reduces ultraviolet light transmission to eliminate the atmospheric blue haze common in outdoor daylight shooting.

- **Zero Exposure Impact:** 1x filter factor (+0 stop) and 99.5% light transmission mean your metering and images are completely unaffected.

- **German Schott Optical Glass:** Precision-ground glass delivers high contrast, minimal residual reflection, and edge-to-edge clarity.

- **7-Layer MRC Broadband Coating:** Multi-Resistant Coating on both surfaces repels water, dirt and grease, and resists scratches and abrasions for long-lasting lens protection.

- **Premium Brass Filter Ring:** Corrosion-resistant brass construction with enhanced knurling provides a secure, slip-free grip during mounting and removal.

- **Wide-Angle Friendly Low-Profile Design:** The slim, front-threaded ring avoids vignetting on wide-angle lenses and accepts additional filters or lens caps.

### Frequently asked questions

**Will the B+W 72mm UV filter affect my exposure or image colour?**
No. The filter has a 1x filter factor (+0 stop) and 99.5% light transmission, so it requires no exposure compensation. It only removes ultraviolet light and reduces the bluish atmospheric cast in daylight, leaving colours natural and metering unaffected.

**What makes the MRC coating on this B+W UV filter special?**
Each surface of the German Schott glass carries 7 layers of Broadband Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC). This coating minimises residual reflections for high-contrast images while repelling dirt, water and grease, and providing scratch and abrasion resistance for everyday lens protection.

**Is this filter compatible with wide-angle lenses, and can I stack other filters on top?**
Yes. The B+W 72mm UV filter features a low-profile brass ring specifically designed to prevent vignetting on wide-angle lenses. The ring also includes front threads, allowing you to attach an additional filter or a lens cap on top.
