B+W Filter - High Performance Filters
B+W filters have filter holders of brass, always with thread on both sides which makes it possible to combine several camera filters or other accessories such as backlight protection etc. Basic filter series have standard thickness with knurled grip which makes the filter easy to thread on and off and MRC anti-reflective coating. Master filter series has a thinner thickness and thus suitable for wide wine lenses and has MRC Nano anti-reflective coating.
Uniquely high quality
By mounting a filter on your lens, you have added another lens to the design of your lens. When you choose a camera filter from B + W, you ensure that the high optical quality of your lens is maintained without deterioration. B + W camera filters are manufactured in Germany with optical glass from Schott as the starting material. The filter is then cut and polished until perfection is achieved. Regardless of which filter you choose from B+W, you get the best camera filters the market can offer.
Protection filter
Protective filters can always sit on your lens and protect your lens' front lens from dirt and scratches. There are two types of protection filters, UV filters and Clear filters, both camera filters are crystal clear and colorless, which means that they do not affect exposure.
UV filter 010
The most common protective filter for photographers in the Nordic countries. In addition to protecting the front lens, the filter also blocks the invisible UV light that can cause a blister and a deterioration in contrast when shooting at long distances with telephoto lenses.
Clear filter 007
Protective filter that does not affect the light transmission by not blocking any light wavelengths. Both UV filters and Clear filters are available with Basic MRC filter socket and Master MRC Nano filter socket.
Polarization filter
Filter type that blocks polarizing light that is reflected on a surface. Polarizing filters can be used for all types of photography and its effect can not be recreated afterwards in an image editing program because the filter removes reflections in a surface, which makes the subject's structure and color appear.
Basic Line Polarization Filter MRC
A standard polarization filter from B+W with very high optical and mechanical quality and efficient polarization effect. Basic filter socket has a slightly thicker grip, which means that the filter can easily be rotated even with gloves
Master Line Polarizing Filter HTC Käsemann MRC Nano
The best polarization filter on the market with a unique degree of extinction and extra sealing between the filter glasses that makes the filter resistant when shooting in places with high humidity. HTC, Hight Transmission Circular, means that this polarizing filter lets in more light than a standard polarizing filter, perfect when the filter is used on cloudy days or in the photo studio. Master filter mount is very thin, which means that they also fit wide-angle lenses.
ND filter, Neutral Density
ND filter dims the luminous flux to allow the photographer to select the desired exposure time and aperture. B+W ND filters are very color-neutral and are available with several different densities and a variant with steplessly adjustable dimming of the light.
Close-up lenses, Diopters
A close-up lens acts as a magnifying glass for the lens, bringing the photographer closer to the subject than the standard close-up of the lens allows. Perfect for macro images of flowers, insects and products.
IR filter
Infrared filters that look almost completely black because they block visible wavelengths at the same time as the filter lets in IR light. Used mainly for black and white photography.
Yellow filter, Red filter and Orange filter - Filter for b / w photography
B+W has a series of camera filters specially developed for black and white photography. They block different wavelengths so that different filter effects appear. Very popular filters for landscape photography but also for portrait photography.
Soft Pro, Softarer
B+W Soft Pro filter is a very advanced softening filter which with its irregularly placed microlenses gives the subject a soft softening without losing the basic sharpness in the image. Very popular filter among portrait photographers and wedding photographers.
Cross Screen, Star filter
B+W star filter has etched filter glass, which gives an outstanding result. Available with 4x, 6x and 8x beams created from sharp light points or light sources in the subject.
B+W Filter cleaning
