  • Multi-coated surface cuts reflections and glare
  • Shields front lens from sand, dust, and water
  • Colour-neutral glass preserves original scene tones
  • Fits standard 46mm threads on many lenses

UV protection for 46mm lenses

The B + W 46mm Basic 010M UV Haze MRC filter blocks the UV component of daylight that can cause a blueish cast and reduced sharpness, especially in coastal or high-altitude light. Its multi-coated surface cuts reflections and flare while keeping colour rendition neutral. The glass also shields the front element from sand, dust, fingerprints and splashing water.

No exposure compensation needed

The filter requires no exposure adjustment, so it can stay on the lens as a permanent protector without changing metering. Standard 46mm threads fit a wide range of lenses across brands, but it will not mount on lenses with a different thread diameter. The coating reduces glare yet adds no colour shift to the captured image.

Replaces an unprotected front element

Photographers who currently shoot without any filter gain both UV haze reduction and physical protection in one step. The upgrade is most worthwhile when shooting in bright outdoor conditions where UV haze softens detail. It is not for buyers who need a larger thread size or who want creative effects such as polarisation or neutral density.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 46 mm version or a different diameter?

Choose the 46 mm filter only if your lens has a 46 mm thread; the thread size is printed on the lens barrel or in its manual.

What does the UV Haze MRC label tell me about everyday shooting?

It blocks ultraviolet light that causes haze and blue casts, while the multi-resistant coating cuts reflections and flare for sharper, contrast-rich images.

Will the standard mount fit my lens and what does it limit?

The standard 46 mm thread fits any lens with that diameter; it does not adapt to other sizes, so a step-up ring is needed for larger threads.
