B+W 72mm XS-KSM HTCM MRC2 CPL Nano Circular Polarising Filter High Transmission #1081477

The B+W 72mm HTC Kaesemann XS-Pro Circular Polarizer MRC Nano Filter helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. This results in a noticeable increase in the saturation of skies and foliage, as well as clearer imagery when photographing in hazy conditions. A circular polarizer differs from a linear polarizer in that it supports full use of a camera's autofocus and auto exposure functions.

Kaesemann-type filters feature greater optical efficiency than regular polarizing foils and are more neutral in color. The polarizing foils are cemented between plano-parallel optical glass layers, which are then precision-polished to achieve the most accurate plano-parallel surface. This edge sealing protects the filter layers from humidity and are ideal for use with high-speed telephoto and apochromatic lenses.

B+W filters are renowned for their precision German engineering and exceptional optical quality, offering a full range of filters including Clear, UV, ND (neutral density), and CPL (circular polarizer). Designed for both professionals and enthusiasts, B+W filters enhance image clarity, reduce reflections, and enable creative exposure control in all lighting conditions. B+W Filters are suitable for cameras and lenses with a screw-on front threads. Further accessories such as snap caps, lens hoods and additional filters can be mounted onto the B+W filter.
Schneider Optische Werke GmbH founded in 1913 is today a worldwide market leader in high-quality and advanced optical products.

The Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) is both an anti-reflection coating as well as a protective surface. It helps to increase light transmission by reducing reflections, scattered light, and ghosting. Additionally, it offers greater protection to the filter substrate and stays cleaner for longer than uncoated filters. The Nano coating associated with XS-Pro filters incorporates an additional 8th layer over the regular MRC and results in a better beading effect with water for greater cleaning efficiency.

B+W filters are constructed from high quality Schott glass for increased optical clarity and color fidelity. This filter features the XS-Pro Digital mount which is specifically designed for DSLR use with wide angle and zoom lenses. The filter ring is made from brass for durability as well as jamming prevention.
