B+W 86mm XS-Pro 806 ND 1.8 64x (6-Stop) MRC Filter

Description

The 86mm XS-Pro MRC ND64 (1.8) Neutral Density Filter from B+W is specially designed to reduce all different wavelengths of light for an even reduction in exposure. This allows your shutter speed to be slowed, which is particularly useful when photographing water and tides, or when a dramatic effect is desired. With a 1.8 density, it will provide a 6 stop reduction in light from entering the lens. Neutral density filters do not affect the colouration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface includes multiple layers of anti-reflection coating. This Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) also offers greater protection to the filter substrate and helps it to stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters. The Nano coating associated with XS-Pro filters provides an additional eighth layer over the MRC, resulting in an improved beading effect when in contact with water for greater cleaning efficiency.

B+W filters are constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity and colour fidelity. This filter features a thin brass filter ring to minimise the potential for vignetting while enhancing durability and jamming prevention. To further reduce the possibility of vignetting when this filter is in use, the filter ring's outside diameter is slightly larger than the actual thread size. This may prevent the use of some lens manufacturer bayonet hoods.
