FAQs

What is the primary difference between the UV filter and the CPL filter in this kit?

The UV filter primarily protects your lens and reduces ultraviolet light haze for clearer shots, especially at higher altitudes. The CPL (Circular Polarizer) filter reduces glare and reflections from surfaces like water and glass, and enhances color saturation, particularly the blue of the sky.

Do I need a special adapter for these filters?

Yes, this kit includes a magnetic adapter ring. You screw this ring onto your 39mm lens thread, and then the filters magnetically attach to this ring. If your lens thread is not 39mm, you will need to purchase a separate Urth magnetic adapter ring for your specific lens thread size.

Can I stack the UV and CPL filters together?

Yes, the magnetic system allows you to stack filters easily. You can attach the UV filter and then magnetically attach the CPL filter on top of it, or vice-versa.

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

The 'Plus+' designation typically refers to Urth's enhanced coatings or design features, such as improved UV filtering capabilities that also address polarized light for greater clarity and color intensity.

How does the tree planting initiative work?

With every Urth filter purchase, including this Duet Kit, Urth partners with environmental organizations to plant trees in areas affected by deforestation. This helps support local communities and restore ecosystems.

What is the material of the filter caps?

The kit includes metal protective caps designed to safeguard the filters when they are not in use.

Will these filters work with my camera's autofocus and auto-exposure?

Yes, these are designed as standard camera filters. The CPL filter may slightly affect exposure metering due to light reduction, but autofocus and auto-exposure systems are generally compatible. The magnetic attachment ensures precise alignment, which is crucial for these systems.

Troubleshooting

Filter not attaching securely

Ensure the magnetic adapter ring is properly screwed onto the lens and that there is no debris obstructing the magnetic surfaces of both the ring and the filter.

Image shows vignetting (dark corners)

This can occur when stacking multiple filters, especially on wider lenses. Try removing one filter, or ensure you are not using the extreme wide end of your zoom lens. Check if the included adapter ring adds significant thickness.

Reduced image sharpness or color cast

Ensure the filter glass is clean. If the issue persists, verify the filter is correctly seated and that no other filters or accessories are interfering with its alignment.

CPL filter not affecting reflections as expected

Rotate the CPL filter relative to the lens. The effect of a CPL filter is dependent on the angle of light and the reflective surface. You may need to adjust your shooting angle or lens position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances image clarity, contrast, and color saturation.
  • Protects the camera lens from scratches and environmental elements.
  • Convenient and fast magnetic attachment system.
  • High-quality German SCHOTT glass ensures excellent optical performance.
  • Stackable design allows for creative filter combinations.
  • Supports environmental sustainability through tree planting.

Cons

  • Requires a compatible magnetic adapter ring (included) for attachment.
  • 39mm size may not fit all lenses; check compatibility.
  • Magnetic system can potentially attract metallic dust.
  • Stacking multiple filters can increase the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your camera lens has a 39mm filter thread. If not, a compatible magnetic adapter ring for your lens thread is required (note: the kit includes one magnetic adapter ring for the 39mm lens thread itself).
  2. Screw the included magnetic adapter ring onto your 39mm lens.
  3. Align the magnetic edges of the UV or CPL filter with the adapter ring on your lens.
  4. The magnets will securely snap the filter into place. You can then stack the second filter on top of the first.

Compatibility:

  • This kit is specifically designed for lenses with a 39mm filter thread. The included magnetic adapter ring allows for direct attachment to lenses with this thread size. For lenses with different thread sizes, Urth offers separate magnetic adapter rings.
  • The magnetic system is designed to work with other Urth magnetic filters and accessories.

Care:

  • Clean the filter glass gently using a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth, never directly on the glass.
  • Store filters in their protective metal caps or a padded filter case when not in use to prevent scratches.
  • Avoid touching the glass surface with your fingers.
  • Periodically check the magnetic adapter ring for debris.
