B+W UV-IR Cut Filter MRC nano MASTER for natural colours
The UV-IR Cut Filter MRC nano MASTER helps you capture photos and videos with authentic colours. It reduces unwanted UV and IR radiation before it reaches the camera sensor. This is particularly useful with digital photo and video cameras, helping to prevent unwanted colour effects caused by the sensor’s residual sensitivity.
The result: more natural skin tones, balanced reproduction of materials and accurate colours in surfaces, textures and landscapes. For subjects where colour accuracy matters, the filter provides a sound technical basis for convincing image quality.
For photography, video and colour-critical subjects
The UV-IR Cut Filter is particularly suitable for architectural photography, product photography, landscape and nature photography, as well as photo and video applications. It helps you control colour shifts and render subjects as they should appear: natural, neutral and true to life.
On lenses with an angle of view of up to 60°, the filter supports balanced colour reproduction. This makes it a strong choice for many standard focal lengths and professional applications where reliable colours matter.
MRC nano coating for easy care
The high-quality MRC nano coating makes the glass surface particularly easy to maintain. Dust, fingerprints and light dirt are easier to remove. This saves time in everyday use and ensures your filter is quickly ready to use again.
The filter is precisely manufactured in Germany and is now available in the premium MASTER filter mount. It replaces the previous 486 UV-IR Cut model in the BASIC filter mount, combining optical performance with robust, professional construction.

What is a UV-IR Cut Filter used for?
A UV-IR Cut Filter reduces the UV and infrared components of light. This helps prevent unwanted colour shifts and supports natural, colour-neutral image reproduction.
Which cameras is the filter suitable for?
The filter is particularly suitable for digital photo and video cameras whose sensors may produce unwanted colour effects in response to UV and IR radiation.
Which subjects benefit most from the UV-IR Cut Filter?
The filter is ideal for architecture, product shots, landscapes, nature subjects and video recording. It is especially helpful for subjects featuring skin tones, materials and surfaces that need to be reproduced accurately.
What are the benefits of the MRC nano coating?
The MRC nano coating makes the glass surface easy to maintain and clean. This is practical if you use the filter regularly in the studio or outdoors.
Inote: With wider-angle lenses, the filter’s effect may shift due to the altered angle of incoming light. This can cause a slight bluish colour cast, particularly at the edges of the image.
