B+W Adapter Rings
If photo equipment is to include lenses with dif-
ferent fi lter thread diameters, the B+W adapter
rings can adapt fi lters and supplementary lenses
to different lens diameters. This is less expensive
than buying several lenses with the same fi lter
type – money that would be better invested in a
larger selection of fi lters. When buying fi lters, fi rst
check the largest diameter required. When there
are three different diameters to cater for at the
same time, adapter rings can also be combined if
necessary. Increased thickness due to using several
mounts can result in vignetting. B+W offers a wide
range of adapter rings.
B+W Photo Clear
Microfi ber Cleansing Cloth
1
There is no better cleansing and care cloth for sen-
sitive optical equipment: The B+W Photo Clear
is made from a high-tech microfi ber which
is free of chemicals and lint, and cleans
gently but thoroughly. It can be washed
in an environmentally safe manner, and used
again and again without losing any of its proper-
ties – an accessory of frequently underestimated
importance for imaging performance. Available in
17 × 17 cm and 36 × 28 cm sizes, each with a pro-
tective plastic envelope.
B+W Lens Cleaner II Cleansing Spray
Persistent marks on highly sensitive optical sur-
faces cannot be removed with a cloth alone. The
B+W Lens Cleaner II has been developed for this
purpose. It is a cleansing solution with highly effec-
tive cleansing agents which leave no unwanted res-
idue on the glass. The propellant-free pump spray
is simple to use, non-fl ammable and bio-degrad-
able. Indispensable for photo trekking or outdoor
action photography.
NEW: Lens Cleaner II is also suitable for LCD/TFT
screens

B+W Collapsible Lens Hoods
1
Collapsible lens hoods are made of high-grade
rubber. Their advantage compared to fi xed lens
hoods made of plastic or metal is that, in their col-
lapsed state, they protrude only a short distance.
This means that the lens hood can remain attached
to the lens and, together with the camera, will also
fi t into a tight photo bag.
Lens hoods are usually regarded simply as a kind
of sun visor. In fact, stray light occurs not only by
sunlight obliquely striking the lens, but also due
to bright ground surfaces (snow, beach), diffuse
light or (in object photography) bright surround-
ings such as a light table. Blocking stray light can
considerably improve the image quality of even the
most expensively coated lenses.
• The B+W Lens Hood 920 is designed for wide
angle (zoom) lenses with angles of view up to 70°.
In the limit range of around 70° it should only be
used without a fi lter in order to avoid vignetting.
In its collapsed state the hood increases the lens
length by less than one centimeter.
• The B+W Lens Hood 900 is tailored to standard
lenses and short telephoto focal lengths. Its inner
ribbing enhances the light-absorbing effect of
the matte black surface. In its collapsed state,
the rubber hood increases the length of a lens by
only one centimeter (up to 77 mm fi lter thread).
B+W Metal Lens Hoods
B+W metal lens hoods convey a reassuring, stable
impression by their very appearance. The black
anodized aluminum reliably blocks stray light, and
the precision-engineered tubes have black inner
ribs for even greater absorption of unwanted light.
Here too, three types are available for numerous
fi lter sizes:
• B+W Metal Lens Hood 970, suitable for wide
angle (zoom) lenses up to 70° diagonal angle of
view
• B+W Metal Lens Hood 950 for standard lenses
and short telephoto lenses
• B+W Metal Lens Hood 960 with a narrower and
longer tube for telephoto lenses
