62mm UV/IR Cut Filter for Digital Cameras

The B+W Basic 486M MRC filter blocks ultraviolet and infrared light that can degrade digital image clarity and colour accuracy. It uses an interference-based coating with precisely calculated reflective layers rather than coloured glass absorption. The filter is clear and colourless, requiring no exposure compensation. It suits photographers who want permanent lens protection combined with improved spectral control.

Interference Design Limits Colour Shift

The sharp cut-off performance depends on the lens aperture angle; the manufacturer specifies optimal results up to 60 degrees. Beyond that angle, the interference layers can introduce unwanted colour shifts. The filter does not increase exposure, so it works with existing metering. It addresses residual infrared transmittance from the sensor's internal IR barrier that causes blurring and colour casts.

MRC Coating Reduces Reflections for Daily Protection

Multi-Resistant Coating lowers surface reflections and resists smudges, making the filter practical for permanent mounting. The 62mm thread fits lenses with that diameter, adding a durable barrier against dust and scratches. Clear glass maintains viewfinder brightness while the coating eases cleaning. The filter serves both as a protective element and a spectral correction tool without adding bulk.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 62 mm version or another diameter for my lens?

Select the 62 mm size only if your lens barrel or cap is marked 62 mm; other diameters will not fit that thread.

What does the 486 MRC UV/IR cut designation mean for everyday shooting?

The 486 filter blocks ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths that cause color casts and softness, while the MRC coating cuts reflections, so images stay sharp and neutral without exposure compensation.

How does the 60-degree aperture-angle limit affect wide-angle use?

The interference coating is optimized for lenses up to a 60-degree angle of view; beyond that, slight color shifts may appear toward the frame edges.
