Is the additional expense for a filter with MRC coating worth the money?
Quality begins in front of the lens, and that, as everybody knows, is where the filter is placed. A filter must not diminish the performance of a lens. MRC (Multi Resistant Coating) coated filters have a Multi-Coating layer on both sides, which assures the maximum reduction of reflections and distorting scattered light. Because of their increased hardness, the layers on both sides of the filter protect it from scratches, and thus insure its high optical quality. In addition, this MRC layer repels dirt and moisture (hydrophobic). For this reason, cleaning it is child’s play.
