B+W 67mm MASTER UV Haze MRC Nano 010M - Clear, Protective UV Filter

In this review of the B+W 67mm MASTER UV Haze MRC Nano 010M, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, highquality UV filter for photographers who want optical protection and neutral color rendering. The reviewer found this filter especially useful for landscape and travel shooters who need to cut invisible UV haze without altering color balance. Its combination of a thin, knurled mount for grip, a hydrophobic MRC Nano coating, and genuine glass construction make it a straightforward upgrade over generic screwon filters.

Key Features

• Black knurled thin profile mount: The slim, textured mount improves handling and reduces vignetting on wide lenses while giving a secure grip for attachment and removal.
• MRC Nano coating: The multi-resistant coating repels water and dust so droplets run off and cleaning is easier in wet environments.
• Color-neutral UV cut: The 010M element blocks invisible UV components of daylight without introducing a color cast, keeping skin tones and skies natural.
• Wide format coverage: The filter is specified to work down to 17mm on full frame format, making it suitable for many wideangle lenses.
• New QR code authenticity check: A QR code is included so buyers can verify authenticity, helping to avoid counterfeit filters.
• ECO-friendly packaging: The filter ships in reduced packaging that lowers waste while protecting the glass.

Who It's For

Landscape, travel, and outdoor photographers who often shoot at high altitudes or across water will benefit most from this UV filter, as it reduces hazing and preserves color while protecting the front element. Users who value build quality and easier cleaning in the field will appreciate the MRC Nano coating and knurled mount.

Those who do not require extra front element protection or who prefer to rely on lens coatings alone may not need this filter. Mirrorless users using extremely wide adapters or lenses wider than 17mm on full frame should check for mechanical vignetting before buying.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent build quality with a slim mount that minimizes vignetting on wide lenses.
• Effective MRC Nano coating makes water and dust easier to manage in the field.
• Color-neutral UV reduction keeps images free of blueish cast at high altitude or seaside locations.

Cons

• As a straightforward UV filter, it adds another optical surface which may be unnecessary for photographers satisfied with lens element coatings.
• Users with lenses wider than specified coverage may need to confirm there is no vignetting.
