UV 010 MRC: Front lens protection and more brilliance
Active photography demands a great deal of cameras and lenses. It there-
fore makes sense to protect the sensitive front element of the lens against
ying sand, dust, ngerprints and water with a lter. Filters not only cost a
fraction of the price of a lens, but are also easier to clean. B+W protection
lters can remain permanently in front of the lens as they are absolutely
colorless, highly transparent and extremely low-reective due to their hard
MRC nish. The optical information reaches the image sensor (or lm) unin-
uenced. The lters have no exposure factor.
Protection factors play a particularly important role In digital photography.
Larger depth of eld due to small sensors increases the inuence of front
lens soiling on image quality. Particularly in zoom lenses with low light
intensity, ngerprints have the effect of reducing sharpness considerably.
Frequent cleaning of the front lens, however, can not only cause scratching,
but also transport dirt particles or moisture on the edge of the mount into
the inside of the lens system.
To guarantee perfect image quality, lters must be kept clean. This is
supported by the hard MRC nish with its dirt and water-repellent pearl
effect coating. This is the best way to clean lters:
Never rub off dry, loose dirt particles, but remove them rst with com-
pressed air (if possible without touching) or a soft lens brush. Breath on
the particle-free lter surface and clean it with a soft B+W micro-ber
cleaning cloth. For difcult stains, B+W Lens Cleaner Spray is helpful.
Do not use paper tissues as their bers cling due to electrostatic charges.
Little effort for constantly perfect image quality.
