B+W UV 55 mm 010 (26894)

The B+W UV 55 mm 010 (26894) is a UV filter that blocks the invisible ultra-violet component of light from the atmosphere, which can cause a lack of sharpness and to which many colour films react with a blue cast. UV filters are ideal for photography at high altitudes (in the mountains), at the seaside, and in areas with very clean air. Photos become clearer and any distracting blue cast is avoided. Because the glass is colourless, colour rendering is not affected, apart from the elimination of the unwanted blue cast. This makes a UV filter highly suitable as protection for the front element of the taking lens against dust, blowing sand, splashing seawater, and similar hazards — and it can be kept on the lens at all times. It is recommended for analog colour and black-and-white as well as digital photography.
