• This filter is not appropriate for direct solar observation with the naked eye, and should exclusively be used for photographic purposes.
• Check the solar filter for damage before each use by holding it up to a bright light (not the sun). Secure the filter properly by screwing it fully onto the lens.
• The NiSi Solar Filter is not suitable eye protection for extended view of sun or solar eclipses. Do not look directly or indirectly into the sun without appropriate eye protection. The Solar Filter should be installed in front of the camera lens or telescope before trying to align it with the sun. Point the camera away from the sun when attaching and removing the solar filter.
• Do not use an optical viewfinder when aligning your camera or telescope with the sun. It is recommended to use the live view feature of the camera for aligning it with the sun and for viewing.
• Do not leave a camera unattended where a child or inexperienced adult could point it at the sun without the filter adequately attached.
• The filter may absorb solar energy and get hot during use. Use extra care when removing it.

Q: 1. will this filter fit a sony 24-105 lens hood?

A: This filter will fit the Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens and you will be able to keep the hood on when it is being used.

Q: 2. Can I screw a polarizing filter on top of this one? Thanks!

A: As the B+W 62mm XS-Pro UV MRC-Nano 010M Filter has 62mm front filter threads (as listed under the Specifications tab), you may use a polarizer filter with 62mm filter threads on top of this filter.

Q: 3. According to the write up: Note: This filter ring's outside diameter is slightly larger than the actual thread size, and because of this you may be unable to attach the lens manufacturer's bayonet-mounted lens hood to the lens while using this filter. This is dependent on your specific lens and how thick the front rim of the lens is; with thinner, low-profile lenses usually being affected more.So if I apply this model B+W on a Nikon 50mm 1.8G lens, will the Nikon lens cap and the Nikon lens hood snap onto the threads? Thanks.Del

A: I am using the 58mm XS-Pro UV MRC-Nano 010M Filter on a Nikon 50mm 1.8G lens. I have had no problems at all with the lens cap or hood when this filter is on the lens.

A: B+W brand of filters happen to be of the highest quality filter manufacturers you could select to put on your lenses.This filter is a multi-coated filter which means the it has been treated with special optical coatings to improve light transmission, color accuracy and contrast. When using multi-coated filters like this there is not any loss/degradation of image quality. This filter will compliment the best lenses you could mount them on and will offer protection in any situation. There is no need to remove them when shooting indoors or in poor lighting as they do not decrease the light transmission (rather they help maintain the transmission as mentioned prior).This filter is the proper size for the Canon 17-55mm f2.8 lens and is one I commonly recommend for use with it.

Q: 5. When I use this filter on Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens can I install, remove and reverse Canon hood without removing the filter?I had Nano filter on 18-55 mm lens, and I had to remover the Nano filter each time I wanted to remove the hood or reverse the hood. Filter's edge was made thicker in order to compensate the thinness of the lens casing.

Q: 10. How does this filter compare with the B+W 58mm UV Haze MRC 010M Filter? I can't tell the difference from the descriptions.

A: Their are two difference between the B+W 58mm UV Haze MRC 010M Filter, and the B+W 58mm XS-Pro UV Haze MRC-Nano 010M Filter. The XS Pro UV filter features a very thin brass rim to prevent vignetting when using the UV filter on a very wide angle lens. Both filters feature brass rims and the same glass with MRC Multi Coating. The second difference is the the Nano coating associated with XS-Pro filters that provides an additional eighth layer over the MRC, resulting in an improved beading effect when in contact with water, and scratch prevention.
