This filter fulfills the desire of many photographers for pure lens protection without a filter effect. 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 hydrophobic coating reduces the adhesion of particles and water drops. The advantages are easy cleaning and maximum reflection reduction.
Fits the following Leica lenses:
21mm Super-Elmar f/3.4 ASPH (11145)
24mm Elmar f/3.8 ASPH (11648)
28mm Summicron f/2.0 ASPH (11604)
35mm Summilux f/1.4 ASPH (11663)
50mm Summilux f/1.4 ASPH (11891 & 11892)
75mm Summarit f/2.5 (11645)
90mm Summarit f/2.5 (11646)
F-Pro filter mount
This filter uses our standard B+W rotating F-Pro filter mount, which has a front accessory thread and is made of brass. Compared to the earlier standard mount introduced in 2001, the F-Pro mount has become thinner. Now it can be used with wide angle lenses, including most 24mm focal lengths on a full frame body, without vignetting. Another advantage of the F-Pro mount is it's modified retaining ring, which is no longer threaded in from the front, but holds the filter glass in place from the back. When removing a filter or lens hood that has been screwed on too tight to the filter, the retaining ring is not at risk of loosening.
Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC)
MRC by B+W is not only an extraordinarily effective multiple layer coating, it is also harder than glass, so that it protects filters from scratches (for instance when cleaning the filters), and it is also water and dirt repellent, thus facilitating filter maintenance.
