FAQs

What is an ND filter used for?

An ND (Neutral Density) filter reduces the amount of light entering your camera's lens. This allows you to use slower shutter speeds in bright conditions for motion blur effects (like smoothing water) or use wider apertures for shallow depth of field without overexposing your image.

How do I know which filter size I need?

The filter size corresponds to the thread size of your camera lens. This is usually indicated by a Ø symbol followed by a number (e.g., Ø43mm) on the front of the lens barrel. This kit is specifically for 43mm threads.

Can I stack these filters?

Yes, you can stack these filters. However, stacking multiple filters can sometimes lead to a slight loss in image quality or a color cast, especially with very dense filters like the ND1000. It's best to use only the necessary filters for your desired effect.

What does 'Plus+' mean in the filter name?

The 'Plus+' designation typically refers to Urth's enhanced coating technology, which includes features like improved scratch resistance, water repellency, and easier cleaning compared to standard filters.

How many stops of light does each filter block?

The kit includes: ND2 (1-stop), ND4 (2-stop), ND8 (3-stop), ND64 (6-stop), and ND1000 (10-stop).

Is this filter kit suitable for video?

Yes, these filters are suitable for video. They allow you to maintain a correct shutter speed for smooth motion blur in bright daylight, adhering to the 180-degree shutter rule.

What is the warranty on these filters?

Urth offers a lifetime warranty on their lens filter kits, covering manufacturing defects and wear for as long as you own the product.

Troubleshooting

Filter won't screw onto the lens.

Ensure the filter thread size matches your lens thread size exactly. Check for any debris in the lens or filter threads.

Vignetting (dark corners) in photos.

The ultra-slim rim design minimizes vignetting, but it can still occur on very wide-angle lenses, especially when stacking filters. Try using a single filter or a different lens.

Image appears to have a color cast.

While Urth filters are designed for color neutrality, extremely long exposures or stacking multiple filters can sometimes introduce a slight cast. Ensure the filter is clean and try a single filter first. Post-processing can often correct minor color casts.

Difficulty achieving desired exposure with ND1000.

The ND1000 filter significantly reduces light. In very bright conditions, ensure your camera's base ISO is used and the shutter speed is set appropriately. For very bright scenes, you might need to adjust your expectations or use a stronger ND if available.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a wide range of ND stops for maximum creative flexibility.
  • Utilizes high-quality German SCHOTT glass for excellent optical performance.
  • Slim rim design prevents vignetting on most lenses.
  • Durable magnalium construction ensures longevity.
  • Includes multiple filters to adapt to diverse lighting scenarios.

Cons

  • Requires careful attention to lens thread size for proper fit.
  • The ND1000 filter may be challenging to use in very low light without proper technique.
  • Stacking multiple filters can potentially degrade image quality or cause color cast.
  • Not ideal for beginners who may not immediately see the utility of such a wide range of ND stops.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the thread size of your camera lens (e.g., 43mm).
  2. Screw the desired Urth ND filter onto the front of the lens, turning clockwise until snug. Do not overtighten.
  3. If stacking filters, screw the next filter onto the front of the already attached filter.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed for lenses with a 43mm filter thread. It is crucial to confirm your lens's filter thread size before purchasing. The thread size is typically printed on the lens barrel, often near the front element, indicated by a Ø symbol followed by a number (e.g., Ø43mm).

Care:

  • Clean the filter glass using a microfiber lens cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optical lenses, applied sparingly to the cloth, not directly to the filter.
  • Store filters in their protective cases when not in use to prevent scratches and dust.
  • Avoid touching the glass surface with your fingers.
  • Keep away from abrasive materials and extreme temperatures.
