The 95mm Special 50th Anniversary Edition 010 UV Haze MRC Nano Filter from B+W 010 UV Haze MRC Nano Filter 95mm Anniversary Editionblocks UV light, which can cause blurring and a blueish cast. An invisible component of daylight, UV light is more intense in pure sea air and high mountain regions. This filter is color-neutral and you can keep it on your lens, even when you don't need a filter, simply to protect the front element. The filter element is made from glass and highly transparent.

Featuring B+W's MRC nano coating, the filter has an extremely low reflection. The optical information remains unaffected when it reaches the image sensor. The hydrophobic coating reduces the adhesion tendency of dirt particles and water droplets. With MRC nano coating, a water droplet remains practically spherical. It rolls over the surface, and a first-rate dirt- and water-repellent effect occurs.

In honor of B&H's 50th anniversary, B+W presents this limited edition run, specially designed to celebrate five decades of creative partnership. This exclusive Special 50th Anniversary Edition embodies the commitment to excellence that B&H stands for. Get your hands on a piece of history with this distinctive edition.

A: I went right to Sekonic in Japan for this one as the manual has not be updated to include media cards. This is their official reply, which is likely to appear in the manual in some for or another.The power of L-398A magnet at strongest point is 0.06T (tesla) which is equal to 600G (guass).Please kindly check with the SD card manufacturer if their products can endure this magnet power.It is difficult for Sekonic to tell OK or NO against various kinds of products/materials.We can only tell Do not place L-398A close to the materials which may be damaged by magnet.Translated: It is not a good idea to place a media card near the meter. My guess would be that if you had an average camera bag, you could probably put all of your media cards in the right side pocket with the meter on the far left of the bag or in left side pocket and be safe. The card maker is the final word on this. Hope that helps.
