The B+W 86mm T-PRO Clear Filter is a simple, clear filter with a 1x filter factor and is designed to provide general protection for your lens. This optically clear filter does not affect overall image quality while helping to keep dust, scratches, moisture, and other elements from damaging your lens. To prevent internal ghosting and reflections while providing over 99.8% light transmission, 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 this filter 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 color fidelity. This filter features a thin, titanium-colored brass filter ring to minimize the potential for vignetting while enhancing durability and preventing jamming.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I own the new Nikon P900 camera. I want a filter to protect the lens. Which filter works better to protect the lens, a clear glass filter or a UV filter?

A: In the days when Film was the only medium, the UV filter was definitely the way to go. With digital, most seem to prefer the clear glass filter. I own both (a hold-over from the days of film) and for the most part, I use the Nikon Clear Glass Filter on all my lens on my Digital SLRs. I'm still using UV on my Nikon F-100 for the shorter lenses, Skylight for longer ones. Hope this helps.

Q: 2. How does this Clear NC glass compare to a U.V. filter?

A: A clear filter and a UV filter essentially are the same, however a UV filter will block some UV transmissions from hitting the sensor of the camera. However, the primary use for both filters is to protect the lens.

Q: 3. What is the thread call-out (Dia x TPI) for 52 mm filter threading?

Q: 4. Is this filter compatible with Nikon FM10 with stock Zoom Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.5-4.8 lens?

Q: 5. will this filter fit a nikon coolpix b500 and if not what size filter do i need?

A: No, the Nikon Neutral Clear Filter (67mm) will not fit the Nikon COOLPIX B500 Digital Camera (Black) because there are no accessory threads in front of the lens on the camera.

Q: 6. is this filter fit a Nikon DX VR AF-P Nikkor 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G lens?

A: If you have the AF-P version of the lens, the filter should fit, but I don't think the AF-P version has VR (vibration reduction). If you have the AF-S version (with VR), the filter will not fit.

Q: 7. Dose Nikon make Neutral Density filters?
