The Urth Magnetic CPL Polarizing Filter Plus+ is designed for photographers seeking to reduce reflections and enhance image contrast and color saturation. It is ideal for landscape and architectural photography, offering adjustable polarization to cut glare from water and glass surfaces. A key caveat is the need for the included magnetic adapter ring to attach to your lens, ensuring a secure and quick workflow. This filter features high-quality German SCHOTT glass with 20-layer nano-coating for exceptional clarity and minimal light loss, all within an ultra-slim rim to prevent vignetting.

A Circular Polarizing (CPL) filter works by absorbing polarized light. This light is responsible for glare and reflections off non-metallic surfaces like water, glass, and leaves. By reducing this polarized light, the filter enhances color saturation and contrast, making skies bluer and foliage greener.
The magnetic system allows for much faster attachment and detachment of filters compared to traditional screw-on filters. It also simplifies kit management by reducing the number of individual items you need to carry and attach.
You can use this filter on any lens that has the corresponding thread size for the Urth magnetic adapter ring. You need to purchase the correct size adapter ring for your specific lens's filter thread.
Yes, the Urth Magnetic CPL Polarizing Filter Plus+ includes one magnetic adapter ring necessary for its attachment to your lens.
Use a soft lens brush or a microfiber lens cloth. For smudges, apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution to the cloth, not directly to the filter, and wipe gently.
Yes, all polarizing filters reduce the amount of light entering the lens by approximately 1 to 2 stops. The high-quality optical glass in this filter minimizes light loss as much as possible.
While the magnetic system is designed for quick attachment, stacking multiple filters, especially on the front element of a wide-angle lens, can increase the risk of vignetting and optical issues. It is generally recommended to use only the CPL filter or consult specific compatibility guides for stacking.
Ensure the correct magnetic adapter ring is securely screwed onto the lens. Clean the magnetic surfaces of both the adapter and the filter.
Verify that the filter's ultra-slim rim is not causing obstruction. Try using the filter on a lens with a different focal length or slightly stop down your aperture. Ensure the correct adapter ring size is used.
Ensure the filter glass is clean. Double-check that the filter is properly seated on the magnetic adapter and that the adapter is correctly threaded onto the lens.
Gently rotate the filter. If it feels stiff, ensure there's no debris caught between the filter and the adapter ring. Avoid forcing the rotation.
Setup: To attach the Urth Magnetic CPL Polarizing Filter Plus+, first ensure your lens is clean. Screw the included magnetic adapter ring onto your lens's filter thread. Once the adapter ring is securely attached, simply align the filter over the adapter and it will magnetically snap into place. To adjust the polarizing effect, rotate the filter housing.
Compatibility: This filter system is designed to work with specific lens thread sizes. The magnetic filter requires the corresponding Urth magnetic adapter ring, which is designed for standard filter thread sizes. Always check your lens's front filter thread size (e.g., 37mm, 49mm, 72mm) and ensure you have the correct size adapter ring for your lens. The ultra-slim rim is designed to minimize vignetting, but compatibility with extremely wide-angle lenses should still be considered.
Care: Clean the filter glass gently using a soft lens brush or a lint-free microfiber cloth specifically designed for optics. For smudges or fingerprints, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth, not directly on the glass. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. Store the filter in its protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and dust.
