Yellow 495 filter for black-and-white imaging
The B+W 67mm Basic 022M MRC Yellow 495 camera filter is designed for photographers who shoot monochrome and want stronger tonal separation straight from the camera. Its yellow hue darkens blue skies and lifts haze, giving clouds more definition without post-processing. Landscape and outdoor shooters gain immediate contrast control at the point of capture.
Multi-resistant coating eases cleaning
The MRC layer repels water and oil, so fingerprints and rain spots wipe off quickly in the field. Reduced surface reflections preserve contrast when shooting toward bright light, keeping distant detail intact. This coating durability means the optical effect stays consistent over years of regular outdoor use.
67mm thread limits direct lens compatibility
Only lenses with a 67mm front thread accept this filter natively; other diameters require step-up or step-down rings that can add vignetting. The yellow density is fixed, so exposure compensation is set by the filter factor rather than adjustable on the fly. Photographers needing variable contrast or colour effects must carry additional filters.

Questions about this item
How often should the 67mm MRC coating be cleaned to maintain contrast performance?
Clean the multi-resistant coating only when visible dust or smudges appear; the hardened layer resists scratches during routine wiping with a microfibre cloth.
What limits image quality first during extended landscape sessions with the Yellow 495 filter?
Atmospheric haze density becomes the limiting factor before the filter’s contrast enhancement reaches its maximum effect.
Does the 67mm brass mount conduct enough heat to affect the lens barrel during all-day shooting?
The thin brass ring equilibrates quickly with ambient temperature and adds no measurable heat to the lens barrel.
