  • Blocks UV and IR for accurate colour
  • Interference coating eliminates colour casts without exposure loss
  • MRC coating resists reflections and simplifies cleaning
  • Clear glass doubles as permanent lens protection
  • Optimised for lenses up to 60° aperture angle

77mm UV/IR Cut Filter for Digital Cameras

The B+W 486 filter blocks ultraviolet and infrared light that can cause colour casts and softness on digital sensors. It uses interference coating rather than tinted glass so the filter stays clear and requires no exposure compensation. The 77mm thread fits compatible lenses directly.

MRC Coating Reduces Reflections and Eases Cleaning

Multi-resistant coating on both surfaces cuts flare and ghosting in normal shooting conditions. The hard coating also repels water and oil so fingerprints wipe off without heavy pressure. Light transmission stays high across the visible spectrum.

Suitable for Lenses Up to 60° Angle of View

The interference design shifts colour balance toward blue when incident angles exceed 60°, making it less suited for wider optics. Buyers needing filtration on ultra-wide lenses should consider alternative filter types. The filter doubles as permanent front-element protection.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 77mm 486 MRC filter and what step is often missed?

Screw the filter onto the lens front thread until snug; the step people miss is checking that the lens aperture angle is 60 degrees or less, otherwise colour shifts toward blue at the frame edges.

What maintenance or replacement will the 486 MRC filter need over time?

Clean the MRC-coated surfaces with a microfibre cloth and lens fluid when dust or smudges appear; replace the filter only if the glass is scratched or the coating is damaged.

What limit appears first when using the 486 filter continuously on wide-angle lenses?

On lenses wider than 60 degrees the interference coating shifts colour reproduction toward blue at the image corners, which is the first practical limitation during sustained use.
