This 55mm Solid ICE MC UV Filter for Camerasfrom 55mm Solid ICE MC UV Filter for Camerasis a general-use, clear filter designed to absorb ultraviolet light and reduce the bluish cast of daylight. Aside from the reduction of unwanted blue casts, no additional coloration or contrast is created, and adjustments to exposure are not required while using this filter. It is constructed from tempered optical glass for shock resistance, clarity, and color fidelity. It features a slim aluminum alloy filter ring that helps prevent vignetting while remaining durable and lightweight.

To help eliminate internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface of this 55mm Solid ICE MC UV Filter features six layers of anti-reflective coatings. The filter is also coated for resistance to oil and static, offering greater protection to the filter substrate and helping it to stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters. Those coatings are hydrophobic, resulting in an improved beading effect when in contact with water for greater cleaning efficiency.

Q: 8. How does the VU compare with the B+W?

A: Both brands are rated very high as filters go. And within each brand there are ones that are multi-coated and not. In general it is important that a filter be multi-coated. That helps limit flair. Optically they again are very good but some prefer B+W over the other. And just a note that the specific Vu filter does not have front threads.

Q: 9. Is this front threaded?

A: Yes, this filter has 77mm front threads.

Q: 10. is this filter threaded so that I can screw another filter onto it once it is screwed into the camera lens?

A: No this filter does not have front threads. As a note, it is not recommended with a ten stop filter to use stack filters. The chances of getting flair or color shifts increases by stacking and especially on a ten stop filter.
