Product Information
Full details
The Urth 100x100mm ND32 (5 Stop) Filter Plus+ is an essential tool for landscape and long-exposure photographers who need to manage exposure in bright lighting conditions. By reducing light intake by 5 f-stops, it allows for creative motion blur and wider apertures without overexposing the frame, though users should ensure they have a compatible 100mm square filter holder system to utilize this glass effectively.

FAQs
What does ND32 mean?
ND32 indicates a filter factor that reduces light by 5 stops, letting only 1/32nd of the incoming light reach the sensor.
Can I use this filter with a circular lens adapter?
No, this is a square filter. It requires a compatible 100mm square filter holder system that attaches to your lens via a step-up ring.
Does this filter cause a color cast?
The Urth Plus+ line is engineered to be color-neutral, meaning it should not introduce significant warm or cool casts to your images.
How do I clean the nano-coating?
Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth for light dust. For smudges, apply a small amount of lens cleaning fluid to the cloth first, then gently wipe.
Is this filter weather-sealed?
While the filter is durable and scratch-resistant, it is not technically weather-sealed. Keep it dry and avoid exposure to harsh saltwater environments if possible.
Troubleshooting
Visible light leaking into the frame during long exposures
Ensure the filter is seated properly in the holder and consider using a foam light-seal gasket if your holder supports it.
Image appears slightly soft or blurry
Check that the filter surface is free of smudges or condensation, and ensure your tripod is stable as long exposures make the system sensitive to vibrations.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality SCHOTT glass provides excellent image sharpness
- Neutral color rendering ensures consistent white balance
- Nano-coating effectively repels dust and prevents ghosting
- Allows for creative depth-of-field control in bright sun
Cons
- Requires a separate filter holder system
- 5-stop reduction may be too dark for dusk or dawn shooting
- Square filters are more prone to handling-related fingerprints than circular versions
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the Urth 100x100mm ND32 filter, slide the glass carefully into the designated slot of your 100mm square filter holder. Ensure the filter is fully seated to prevent light leaks around the edges. When not in use, store the filter in a protective pouch to avoid micro-abrasions on the surface. To clean the glass, use a high-quality microfiber cloth and a dedicated lens cleaning solution; avoid using abrasive materials that could compromise the nano-coating layer.
