39mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter
The B+W 39mm Basic 486M MRC UV/IR Cut Filter is a clear, colorless camera filter designed to block unwanted ultraviolet and infrared light. It uses a unique interference method with wafer-thin layers for sharp cut-off absorption. Multi-Resistant Coating reduces reflections and improves light transmission. The filter requires no exposure compensation and can remain on the lens permanently for protection.
Suited for lenses up to 60-degree aperture angle
This filter suits photographers using lenses with an aperture angle up to 60 degrees who need to eliminate color casts and blurring caused by residual infrared transmittance on digital sensors. It is ideal for those wanting a permanent protective filter that maintains image clarity without light loss. Buyers needing filtration for wider-angle lenses exceeding 60 degrees should look at alternative filter designs.
39mm filter thread diameter
The single specification determining compatibility is the 39mm filter thread diameter, which must match the lens barrel exactly. Verify the thread size printed on your lens or in its specifications before ordering. The filter model number 486M and supplier reference 66-1102738 confirm the specific UV/IR cut coating type. No other mounting dimensions or adapter options are provided.

Questions about this item
Does the 39mm filter thread require any periodic cleaning or coating maintenance?
The Multi-Resistant Coating resists dirt and smudges; clean only when visible marks appear using a microfibre cloth and suitable lens fluid.
What aperture angle limit affects performance on wider lenses?
The filter is designed for lenses with an aperture angle up to 60 degrees; beyond that angle colour influence adjustment may be less effective.
Does the MRC coating reduce heat buildup or power draw during all-day shooting?
The filter is passive glass with no electronics, so it generates no heat and draws no power regardless of how long it stays on the lens.
