B+W 55mm Clear Glass XS-PRO Digital Filter

The B+W 55mm Clear Glass XS-Pro Digital Filter features a newly developed mounting ring that is especially suited for SLRs with wide angle and zoom lenses. Its thin profile prevents the mounting ring from vignetting in even the widest shots. The B+W XS-Pro filters have front threads for mounting additional accessories and are made of brass and are matt black to prevent reflections. The B+W Clear Glass XS-PRO Digital Filters are designed to protect the end of your lens without affecting the colour balance of your shot. Its only function is to keep dirt, sand, or splashes away from the front lens. The extremely clear special glass with high transmission is MRC-finished. The Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) with Nano Technology is an outer layer of protection that comes standard with all XS-PRO Digital MRC filters.

Extra-Slim Mounting Rings that Eliminate Problems Associated with SLR Wide-angle and Telephoto Imaging

B+W XS-Pro filters employ a newly developed mounting ring that is especially suited for SLRs with wide angle and zoom lenses. The extremely thin design prevents the mounting ring from vignetting in even the widest shots. B+W XS-Pro Digital Filters have front threads for mounting additional accessories such as filters, screw on shades and lens covers. XS-Pro filter rings are made of brass and are matt black to prevent reflections.

Schneider's Proprietary MRC Coating

MRC refers to the unique Multi Resistant Coating developed by Schneider-Kreuznach, which comes as standard on B+W XS-Pro Digital Filters. It provides perfect anti-reflection, brilliant colours and high contrast. Only Schneider lenses and B+W filters are protected by this extremely resistant multi-layer broadband coating (eight layers on both sides). In addition, the scratch-resistant, water- and dirt- repellent outer layer makes it easier to clean the glass surface. Due to its low residual reflection (0.5%) MRC prevents ghosting or double images, which can be caused by return reflections from sensors.
