With 16 layers of multi-resistant nano-coating, this filter effectively eliminates blue cast and ensures a precise fit for various lens sizes, making it an essential tool for both amateur and professional photographers. ## Description Product Description This UV Filter blocks the invisible UV component of light from the sky, which can cause blur and to which many color films react with a blue cast. These filters should be called UV-Blocking Filters, because there are filters for technical applications that pass UV radiation and block all the other wavelengths. Nevertheless, the short term "UV Filter" has become established among photographers. UV Filters are ideal for photography in high altitudes (in the mountains), by the sea and in regions with very clean air. The pictures gain brilliance and disturbing blue casts are avoided. Because the glass is colorless, color rendition is not altered, aside from the elimination of the unwanted blue cast, and no increase in exposure is required. That makes a UV Filter very suitable as protection of the front element of the taking lens against dust, flying sand, sea water spray and the like, and it can be kept on the lens at all times. It is recommended for analog color and black-and-white as well as digital photography.

The nano coating is an outer layer of protection that comes standard with all XS-Pro Digital MRC filters. The nanotechnology based characteristic (lotus effect) produces a better beading effect with water, making the cleaning of this filter even simpler and faster than ever before. MRC nano has an improved outer (8th) layer over regular MRC.The lens elements of high-quality lenses and the plano surfaces of filters require a perfect shape and smoothness to achieve the best optical quality. Dirt, greasy fingerprints, water marks and scratches reduce the image contrast and the sharpness, which can result in blooming at light sources and have an effect similar to a soft-focus lens. A clean front lens element and clean filter surfaces are therefore an absolute pre-requisite for demanding photographers. The nano coating results in lotus effect on water droplet. The MRC coating is first and foremost a broadband anti-reflection coating. This means that its reflection-reducing effect, which is thus also a transmission-increasing effect, i.e. one which suppresses scattered light and ghost images and transmits more light, has a broadband action over the full spectrum. In contrast, the (almost always blue) single-layer coating only has a high effect in the medium wavelength range around yellow and yellow-green where the eye is most sensitive to light, while its effect is greatly reduced toward the blue-violet and purple-red end regions of the visible spectrum. With the MRC coating, this blue, violet and red to deep-red light cannot produce any contrast reducing scattered light, spotty reflections or ghost images. A broadband effect can only be achieved with a multilayer coating which requires a much higher effort and precision because unevenness and irregularities of the individual layers build up on one another and amplify one another. Schneider therefore uses a plasma-assisted evaporation coating process in which inert gas ions accelerated in an electrical field compact the material deposited on the lens surface in the vacuum chamber. For photographers, the main advantage of MRC coating, is it's ability to combat flare and ghosting. An added benefit is that their filters remain free of dirt longer, so that they do not have to be cleaned so often. When cleaning the filter does become necessary, it is a lot easier to wipe off the dirt with a blower brush, because of MRC's ability to repel dirt and moisture. This also reduces the risk of micro-scratches which can occur during cleaning.

Lo and behold, through lots of research I have learned that most of the B+W and Hoya top of the line filters I have bought over the past 15 years are fake. Here’s what I’ve recently found to ensure getting legit ones here at Amazon:HOW TO SPOT A FAKE:Some fakes are easy to spot. The inner ring typography will be white instead of the gold color used by B+W in recent years. Now, the counterfeiters are beginning to make the inner type gold just like B+W. However: SEE PHOTO ABOVE. Note that the font of the fake at right is slightly thinner and just barely italic. Read on for more detail detective work tips below.AVOID THIRD PARTY SELLERSI truly believe in supporting small businesses but many of the B+W and Hoya filters out there from other resellers are indeed fakes. I trust in “Shipped and Sold by Amazon.com” yet some other third party reseller dealers are not genuine.BUY B+W ONLY WITH NEW AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM:In 2019, B+W fully switched to a new type of Hologram and authentication system. So if you are currently buying a new filter here, look for the red “Target” hologram logo on the side. Each box has a unique six digit number that you can check on the B+W website. After you enter the info, the website verifies if legit. Also, take a cellphone picture of the QR code on the box. If you are not automatically linked to the company website, it’s a fake.Earlier, I was fooled by counterfeits that simply had a scannable and seemingly legit 3D QR code. Did I bother to check. Nope! That was a mistake as when I just recently checked for the first time the link is to a non-existent website with the URL for sale!CHECK FOR REFLECTIONS ON THE FILTER ITSELF:Using the black-colored back of the B+W box, place the filter face down on it. Hover above. You should see almost no reflection of yourself, just very faint shadows. Cheap fakes are mostly like window glass with lots of reflections that weaken quality lenses bigtime. The glass for genuine filter will seem almost invisible.CHECK FILTER MARKINGS CAREFULLY:B+W and Hoya do change these over time so if you are seeing different typography styles and colors this does not mean they are fakes. For example, the current B+W logo on the side of the filter is sans serif type while older filters had the classic serif, bolder logo style.XS-PRO Nano MARKINGS:As of 2021, for the XS-PRO Nano series, all type will also be a rich gold color. All gold type on the inside ring will be in CAPS except for lowercase “nano.”XS-PRO Nano CLEAR MARKINGS:As of 2021, for the XS-PRO Nano CLEAR series, all type will be a rich gold color. All gold type on the inside ring will be in CAPS except for lowercase “nano.” Thus, the markings are in the same style as the UV version.F-PRO MARKINGS:As of 2021, for the F-PRO series, all type will also be a rich gold color . All gold type on the inside ring will be in CAPS except for lowercase “Haze” for UV filters. The “x” in “1x” will also be in lowercase.F-PRO CLEAR MARKINGS:As of 2021, for the F-PRO series, all type will be a rich gold color . All gold type on the inside ring will be in CAPS including the word NEUTRAL.WEIGHT:All of the series above are brass filters with impeccable machining. Brass filters weight more. Simply get a gram scale and weigh a filter “Shipped and Sold by Amazon” in comparison to a filter you suspect as fake. This, plus carefully checking reflections carefully helped me determine how to discern a real filter from a counterfeit.SPELLING MISTAKES:I found Hoya and B+W fakes long after I’d bought them by carefully examining the box. For example, beyond fake QR codes, I found boxes with the word “licensed” mistakenly spelled as “licensed.”Hope this long review has been of some small help. I still can’t believe I was so thoroughly hoodwinked, literally for years. I also love some of the better Hoya filters but, unlike B+W, they do not seem to have a sophisticated counterfeit checking system yet in place.Keep shootin’ strong! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Avoid fakes! 2021 Updated B+W buying advice! *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2021* I’m a well known professional photographer and I “thought” an extremely savvy consumer, too.
