FAQs

Does this filter affect the sharpness of my lens?

No, because the filter is made from high-quality B270 SCHOTT optical glass, it is designed to maintain the sharpness and resolution of your lens.

Can I use this on a lens with a small filter thread?

Yes, as long as you have a 100mm filter holder system that attaches to your lens via the appropriate size adapter ring.

What is the difference between a Soft and Hard Graduated filter?

A soft gradient has a wider, more subtle transition area, making it ideal for scenes where the horizon is uneven, while hard gradients are better for flat horizons like the ocean.

Is the nano-coating permanent?

The nano-coating is durable, but it can wear down if cleaned with abrasive materials or aggressive chemicals over many years of heavy use.

Can I stack this with other filters?

Yes, you can stack it with other filters in a holder system, though stacking multiple filters may increase the risk of vignetting on very wide-angle lenses.

Troubleshooting

Visible vignetting at wide angles.

Ensure the filter is positioned correctly in the inner slot of the holder; if using an ultra-wide lens, remove other filters to reduce the physical depth of the holder stack.

Smudges or dust on the filter.

Use a soft air blower to remove particles first, then wipe gently with a clean microfiber cloth in a circular motion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality SCHOTT optical glass ensures image fidelity.
  • Nano-coating makes it easy to wipe away water and fingerprints.
  • Soft gradient creates subtle, realistic transitions.
  • Standardized size fits most third-party filter holders.

Cons

  • Requires a separate filter holder and adapter rings.
  • Not compatible with circular screw-in lens filter threads.
  • Rectangular filters require more careful storage than circular filters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the Urth 100x150mm filter, ensure you have a standard 100mm square filter holder system and an appropriate adapter ring for your lens's thread size. Gently slide the filter into the front slot of your holder. For cleaning, use a dedicated microfiber cloth and, if necessary, a specialized optical lens cleaning fluid. Avoid using abrasive materials that could compromise the 20-layer nano-coating. Always store the filter in its protective sleeve when not in use to prevent scratches during transport.
