B+W R 610 Red Filter MRC nano MASTER for Maximum Contrast
With the B+W R 610 Red Filter from the MASTER line, you achieve maximum contrast in your photography. This powerful red filter replaces the 090 and 091 versions and creates extremely strong separation between sky and clouds. Blue tones are significantly darkened, making the sky appear dramatically deep while clouds stand out brilliantly bright.
The filter fully reveals its strengths in landscape photography and architectural photography. White facades appear brighter and clearer while the sky darkens intensely. The result is images with impressive depth and strong graphic impact. For creative black-and-white photography, the B+W MASTER Red Filter is an excellent choice. It significantly improves long-distance visibility and delivers pronounced tonal separation. Blue and green tones appear very dark, while red tones are rendered noticeably brighter. At the same time, the filter visibly reduces skin redness and creates a harmonious overall appearance.
The high-quality MASTER filter mount impresses with its slim profile and exceptional durability. Made from robust brass, it remains dimensionally stable and long-lasting. The optimized rotating ring provides secure grip when attaching or removing the filter. Thanks to the slim construction, the filter can generally be used without vignetting on many wide-angle lenses from 17 mm in full-frame format or 10 mm on APS-C. Additional filters or a lens hood can easily be attached via the front thread.
The MRC nano coating with multi-coating on both sides minimizes reflections and effectively reduces stray light. With only 0.5 percent residual reflection, ghosting is minimized while brilliant contrast is preserved. The nano-based surface is water- and dirt-repellent. Water droplets bead off, and fogging dissipates quickly. This keeps your filter reliable even under demanding shooting conditions.
You benefit from uncompromising quality Made in Germany. The stress-free mounted filter glass guarantees maximum precision and outstanding optical performance. For images with character, depth, and impressive visual impact.
