Product Information

Full details

The Urth 77mm ND64 (6 Stop) Lens Filter Plus+ is designed for photographers and videographers seeking creative control in bright conditions. Its primary benefit is enabling long exposures and shallow depth of field effects by reducing light by 6 stops. A potential caveat is its fixed 6-stop reduction, which may be too much for certain low-light scenarios. This filter offers consistent light reduction for managing harsh light and achieving cinematic motion blur.

FAQs

What is a Neutral Density (ND) filter?

A Neutral Density (ND) filter reduces the amount of light entering your camera lens without affecting the color balance of the image. This allows for creative control in various lighting conditions.

What does '6 Stop' mean?

'6 Stop' refers to the amount of light the filter reduces. It means the filter cuts down the light by a factor of 2^6, or 64 times, allowing you to use shutter speeds 64 times longer or decrease your aperture by 6 stops.

Can I use this filter for video?

Yes, this filter is excellent for videography. It helps achieve the correct shutter speed for cinematic motion blur in bright light and can also be used to create a shallow depth of field effect.

Will this filter cause my lens to vignette?

The Urth ND64 filter features an ultra-slim rim designed to minimize or eliminate vignetting, even on wide-angle lenses. However, very extreme wide-angle lenses might still show slight effects at their widest settings.

How does this filter compare to variable ND filters?

This is a fixed 6-stop ND filter, meaning it always provides a consistent 6 stops of light reduction. Variable ND filters allow you to adjust the amount of light reduction, offering more flexibility but can sometimes introduce color casts or 'X' patterns at their extreme ranges.

What is the difference between Plus+ and standard Urth filters?

The Plus+ designation typically indicates advanced coatings and superior glass quality, such as the 20-layer nano-coating and SCHOTT glass used in this filter, ensuring higher light transmission and clarity compared to standard versions.

What is the warranty on this filter?

Urth filters are backed for life, offering peace of mind against manufacturing defects.

Troubleshooting

Image appears too dark

Ensure the 6-stop reduction is appropriate for the current lighting conditions. You may need to increase your ISO or use a slower shutter speed than initially intended, or consider a filter with less stop reduction if available.

Vignetting (dark corners) in photos

Confirm the filter is screwed on straight and that the ultra-slim rim is not obstructed. While designed to prevent vignetting, extreme wide-angle lenses might still show minor effects at their widest focal lengths.

Color cast in images

The 20-layer nano-coating is designed for color neutrality. If a cast is present, try recalibrating your camera's white balance or adjust color in post-processing. Ensure the filter glass is clean.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables creative long exposure photography.
  • Allows for wider apertures in bright light for shallow depth of field.
  • High-quality German SCHOTT glass ensures image clarity.
  • Durable and resilient construction.
  • Slim rim design minimizes vignetting.

Cons

  • Fixed 6-stop reduction may be too strong for some situations.
  • Not adjustable for varying light conditions.
  • Requires understanding of exposure balancing for optimal use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Screw the Urth 77mm ND64 filter onto the 77mm threaded front of your lens. Ensure it is hand-tightened to prevent light leaks, but do not overtighten. The filter is designed to fit lenses with a 77mm filter thread size.

Compatibility: This filter is specifically designed for lenses with a 77mm front filter thread. It is compatible with various camera bodies and lens types as long as the thread size matches. Always check your lens's filter thread size (usually indicated by a diameter symbol Ø followed by a number) before purchasing.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, clean the filter regularly. Use a soft lens brush to remove dust. For smudges or fingerprints, use a microfiber lens cloth, gently wiping in a circular motion from the center outwards. For tougher spots, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth, never directly on the glass. Store the filter in its protective case when not in use.
