B + W 95mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter camera filter
A 95mm UV/IR cut filter that removes unwanted ultraviolet and infrared light using an interference coating without affecting exposure
- Eliminates UV and infrared light for accurate colors
- Interference coating removes unwanted wavelengths without colored glass
- Clear, colorless design leaves exposure unchanged
- Functions as permanent lens protection against scratches
- Optimised for lenses up to 60-degree aperture angle
Purpose and fit
This 95mm UV/IR cut filter suits photographers who want to remove unwanted ultraviolet and infrared light from digital captures while keeping a clear, colourless element on the lens. It is not for shooters using lenses with an aperture angle wider than 60 degrees because colour drift toward blue increases at the edges.
Thermals noise power
Optical filters generate no heat, produce no sound and draw no power, so normal use adds nothing to the camera’s thermal or acoustic profile. The interference-based coating simply transmits visible wavelengths while rejecting UV and IR components.
Build and connections
The MRC coating resists reflections and improves durability for permanent mounting on 95mm filter threads. The interference-layer construction replaces coloured glass, keeping the filter neutral and protecting the front element without altering exposure.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 95mm filter and what step do people get wrong?
Screw the filter onto the lens front thread until snug; the step people miss is checking that the lens accepts a 95mm thread before ordering.
What maintenance or replacement will the MRC-coated 486 filter need later?
Clean the multi-resistant coating with a microfibre cloth and blower; replace only if the glass is scratched or the coating degrades.
What limit appears first when using the 486 filter on wide-angle lenses under sustained shooting?
With lenses wider than a 60-degree aperture angle, a bluish tint develops at the image edges due to interference-shift physics.
