B + W 55mm Master 806M ND 1.8 6-Stop MRC Nano Neutral Density Filter #66-1101576

When capturing stunning photography in bright conditions, the B+W 55mm Master 806M ND 1.8 6-Stop MRC Nano Neutral Density Filter is an essential tool for every photographer's kit. This high-quality ND filter effectively reduces the amount of light entering your camera lens by a significant six f-stops, transforming an exposure time of 1/60 s into a full second without altering the aperture or depth of field.

Ideal for creating ethereal effects, this filter renders running water as hazy and soft, making it an excellent choice for landscape and nature photography. However, due to the extended exposure times, it's recommended to use a tripod for stability.

Constructed from finely ground and polished special glass, this durable filter ensures optimal optical quality without negatively impacting the performance of your high-quality lens. The filter employs advanced thin-film technology, which not only enhances the ND filter effect but also optimizes it with a unique coating combination.

This versatile filter features a multi-layer anti-reflective component with seven layers per filter side, effectively preventing unwanted reflections. An additional outer layer offers dirt- and water-repellent properties, providing comprehensive protection for the filter. This also makes it easy to clean and maintain the filter pane, ensuring its reliability over time.

The B+W 55mm Master 806M ND 1.8 6-Stop MRC Nano Neutral Density Filter provides uniform light attenuation across the entire visible range, delivering optimally color-neutral image results. Please note, ND filters should not be used for direct visual solar observation due to the risk of blinding, as they allow UV- and IR-rays that can harm the eyes. For direct observation of the sun, special sun filters are available from astronomy suppliers.
