FAQs

What is the main benefit of using a UV filter?

The main benefit is to reduce ultraviolet light, which helps cut atmospheric haze and blue color casts, resulting in sharper, clearer, and more color-accurate images, especially in bright or hazy conditions. It also provides physical protection to your lens.

How does the Urth UV Filter Plus+ differ from standard UV filters?

The Plus+ version uses premium German SCHOTT glass with 30 layers of nano-coating, offering higher light transmission, reduced lens flare, and enhanced protection compared to basic UV filters.

Is this filter suitable for all types of photography?

Yes, it is suitable for most types of photography, particularly landscapes and travel photography where UV light and haze are common. It's also excellent for general lens protection.

How do I clean the filter effectively?

Use a soft lens brush for dust. For smudges, apply a lens cleaning solution to a microfiber cloth and wipe gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials.

What does the 'Plant 5 Trees' initiative mean?

For every Urth filter purchased, Urth funds the planting of 5 trees in areas affected by deforestation, contributing to environmental restoration.

Does the filter affect image quality in terms of color or exposure?

The Urth UV Filter Plus+ is designed for high light transmission and minimal color shift. It cuts UV light, which can actually improve color accuracy by removing a blue cast. It does not significantly alter exposure.

What is the warranty on this filter?

The Urth 95mm Plus+ UV Filter comes with a lifetime quality guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Filter causes unwanted reflections or flare

Ensure the lens is properly shaded by the lens hood. Clean the filter surface to remove any smudges that might contribute to reflections. Try shooting at different angles to the light source.

Difficulty screwing the filter onto the lens

Check that you are using the correct filter size (95mm). Ensure both the lens threads and the filter threads are clean and free of debris. Do not force the filter; if resistance is met, remove and re-align.

Image appears less sharp after attaching the filter

Verify the filter is clean and free of smudges. Ensure the filter is correctly seated on the lens. While designed to enhance sharpness, in very specific low-light or extremely critical sharpness scenarios, any filter can have a marginal impact; test in optimal conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Urth 95mm Plus+ UV Filter screws directly onto the front of any lens with a 95mm filter thread. Ensure the lens threads are clean before attachment to prevent damage. Simply align the filter with the lens thread and gently turn it clockwise until snug.

Compatibility: This filter is specifically designed for lenses with a 95mm front filter diameter. Always check your lens's specifications for the correct filter size. It is compatible with a wide range of camera bodies and systems that utilize lenses with 95mm threads.

Care: To maintain optical clarity and the longevity of the nano-coating:

  1. Clean the filter surface regularly using a soft-bristled lens brush to remove loose dust and debris.
  2. For fingerprints or smudges, use a dedicated lens cleaning solution applied to a microfiber cloth. Wipe gently in a circular motion from the center outwards.
  3. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, which can damage the coatings.
  4. Store the filter in its protective case when not in use.
