B+W ND 1.8 MRC Nano Master 95mm Neutral Density FilterUnlock a new dimension of creative control in your photography and videography with the B+W ND 1.8 MRC Nano Master 95mm Filter. Engineered in Germany for the discerning artist, this professional-grade neutral density filter is an essential tool for intentionally manipulating light and time. It is designed not to alter the color or contrast of your image, but to uniformly reduce the amount of light reaching your camer´s sensor, opening up a world of long-exposure possibilities and enabling wider apertures in bright conditions.This particular B+W grey filter provides a significant light reduction of six f-stops (ND 1.8 or ND64), an effect so powerful it is considered an extreme filter in the world of pictorial photography. This substantial reduction allows you to dramatically slow down your shutter speeds to capture the passage of time. For example, a standard 1/60th of a second exposure is transformed into a full one-second exposure, all without needing to alter your aperture and sacrifice your desired depth of field. This capability is paramount for landscape photographers seeking to render flowing water with a delicate, silky-smooth appearance or to capture clouds streaking across the sky for a dynamic, ethereal effect. You can also use it in bustling urban environments to make moving people and vehicles disappear, creating serene architectural images.Beyond long exposures, this 6-stop ND filter is invaluable for portrait and lifestyle photographers. It empowers you to shoot with a very wide aperture, such as f/1.4 or f/2.8, even in bright, direct sunlight. By cutting the intense ambient light, the filter prevents overexposure and allows you to achieve an exceptionally shallow depth of field, beautifully isolating your subject against a soft, blurred background.The Master designation signifies the pinnacle of B+W´s filter engineering. The filter features a precision-machined brass mount that is both durable and resistant to binding, ensuring smooth attachment and removal. Its slim profile is optimized to prevent vignetting, even when used with wide-angle lenses.At the heart of the filter is the exclusive B+W MRC Nano coating. This Multi-Resistant Coating consists of multiple layers on both sides of the high-quality Schott glass. It minimizes reflections and ghosting to ensure maximum image contrast and color fidelity. The final outer layer is an advanced nano-coating that provides a remarkable hydrophobic and oleophobic effect. Water beads up and rolls off, while fingerprints, dirt, and smudges are effortlessly wiped away, making it exceptionally easy to clean and maintain, even in challenging field conditions.Features:- This B+W Grey Filter, which reduces the light by six f-stops, is already considered an extreme filter in pictorial photography.- This turns 1/60 s into a full one-second exposure time without changing the aperture (and depth of field).- Flowing water is delicately rendered
