Product Information

Full details

This Urth ND Filter Kit Plus+ is designed for photographers seeking creative control in various lighting conditions, particularly for landscape photography. It offers three essential ND filters (ND8, ND64, ND1000) to manage exposure and achieve effects like motion blur and shallow depth of field. A potential consideration is the 43mm size, which may require adapters for different lens diameters.

FAQs

What does ND stand for?

ND stands for Neutral Density. Neutral Density filters reduce the amount of light entering the lens without affecting the color balance.

What is the difference between ND8, ND64, and ND1000 filters?

The numbers represent the amount of light they block in f-stops. ND8 blocks 3 f-stops, ND64 blocks 6 f-stops, and ND1000 blocks 10 f-stops. This allows for progressively longer shutter speeds or wider apertures.

Can I stack these filters?

Yes, you can stack these filters. However, stacking filters, especially multiple ND filters, can increase the risk of internal reflections, flare, and vignetting. It is generally recommended to use only the necessary filter for your desired effect.

How do I determine which filter to use?

The ND8 is for mild light reduction, useful for achieving slight motion blur in moderate conditions. The ND64 is for more significant light reduction, ideal for brighter days or longer exposures. The ND1000 is for extreme light reduction, essential for very bright conditions or very long exposures (e.g., silky water effects).

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

The 'Plus+' designation typically refers to Urth's premium range, indicating advanced features such as 20-layer nano-coating on the German SCHOTT glass for superior clarity and performance.

Will this kit fit my lens if it's not 43mm?

This specific kit is for 43mm threads. You will need to purchase separate adapter rings (step-up or step-down) to fit lenses with different thread sizes.

How durable is the filter construction?

The filters are made from tough magnalium, designed for lasting resilience. They are also backed by Urth's lifetime warranty.

Troubleshooting

Vignetting (darkening at the corners) in wide-angle shots.

Ensure you are using the filter on a 43mm lens. If using adapter rings, ensure they are also low-profile. Try zooming in slightly if possible, or consider a different filter system if vignetting persists on extremely wide lenses.

Color cast or reduced image quality.

Ensure the German SCHOTT glass is clean. Smudges or dust can affect image quality. Use a dedicated lens cleaning cloth and solution as per the care instructions.

Filter is difficult to screw onto the lens.

Check for cross-threading by backing the filter off and re-attempting to screw it on gently. Ensure there is no debris on the lens threads or the filter threads. Do not force the filter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Offers significant creative control over exposure and motion.
High-quality German SCHOTT glass ensures excellent image clarity.
Durable construction with a lifetime warranty provides long-term value.
Slim rim design minimizes vignetting issues.
Three distinct ND stops cover a wide range of lighting needs.

Cons

Specific 43mm size may not fit all lenses directly.
10-stop filter requires careful use to avoid overexposure in low light.
Requires cleaning to maintain optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Ensure your camera lens is clean.
Identify the filter thread size on your lens (this kit is 43mm).
Carefully screw the desired ND filter onto the front of the lens, turning clockwise until snug. Do not overtighten.
Compose your shot and adjust camera settings as needed.

Compatibility

Lens Thread Size: This kit is specifically designed for 43mm lens threads. For lenses with different thread sizes, you will need to use compatible step-up or step-down adapter rings (sold separately).
Camera Types: Compatible with any camera that accepts 43mm threaded lens filters, including DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and some bridge cameras.

Care

Cleaning: To clean the filter, gently wipe the glass surface with a microfiber lens cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for camera lenses, applied to the cloth, not directly to the glass. Always wipe in a circular motion from the center outwards.
Storage: Store the filters in their protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and dust buildup. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or humidity.
