Browse our selection of B+W filters, a trusted name in lens filters for photographers and videographers. This page brings together ND, UV, clear, circular polarizer, infrared and close-up filters in sizes from 37mm to 95mm, so you can find one that screws onto your lens.
How to choose a B+W filter
Start with the thread size printed on the front or the inside of your lens cap, shown as a diameter in mm (for example 67mm, 77mm or 82mm). The filter must match it, so check your own lens before ordering.
- ND filters reduce the light reaching the sensor so you can use slow shutter speeds in daylight, for flowing water or video. Our range includes ND 0.6, 0.9, 1.8 and 3.0 – the higher the number, the darker the filter. A popular choice is the B+W 82mm - 803 ND 0.9 MRC Nano XS PRO, and for a stronger effect the B+W Filter 806 ND 1.8 MRC XS PRO - 86mm.
- UV and clear filters act as a protective layer in front of the lens. See the B+W Filter UVa (010) - 86mm or the B+W Filter Clear F-PRO MRC - 37mm.
- Circular polarizers cut reflections on water and glass and deepen skies, for example the B+W Filter Circular Polarizer - 52mm.
- Infrared and colour filters (IR Black 093, IR Dark Red 092, Yellow Orange 040) are for creative and black-and-white work.

Frequently asked questions
What is a B+W ND filter used for?
It darkens the whole scene evenly, so you can shoot with a slower shutter speed or a wider aperture in bright light.
How do I know which size of filter to buy?
Check the filter thread diameter marked on your lens, such as 67mm or 77mm, and choose the same size.
Should I use a UV or clear filter?
Many photographers keep one on the lens as protection against dust and scratches. It is a matter of preference.
Do you carry B+W filters in large sizes like 82mm or 95mm?
Yes, this page lists B+W filters in several sizes, including 82mm, 86mm and 95mm.
