Product Information

Full details

The Urth Dual Kit - CPL/UV 46mm is designed for photographers seeking to enhance image quality and protect their lenses. Its key benefit lies in combining a UV and a Circular Polarizing (CPL) filter into a single, convenient unit, reducing glare and protecting against scratches. A potential caveat is the need to ensure it is compatible with your specific lens thread size before purchase.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of the UV filter in this kit?

The UV filter helps to reduce ultraviolet haze, which can make distant objects appear bluish and less distinct, especially in high altitudes or near large bodies of water. It also serves as a protective layer for your lens.

How does the CPL filter improve photos?

The CPL filter reduces reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass, and cuts glare from the sky. This results in deeper blue skies, more vivid colors, and increased contrast, making your images 'pop'.

Can I stack other filters on top of this Dual Kit?

Yes, the Dual Kit features double threading, allowing you to stack additional filters, such as ND filters, or a lens cap on top of it.

What does '8-layer nano-coating' mean?

This refers to multiple layers applied to the glass that improve light transmission, reduce reflections, enhance color accuracy, and make the filter easier to clean.

How do I know if this 46mm filter will fit my lens?

Check the front of your lens for a marking that looks like 'Ø46mm'. If your lens has a different measurement, you will need a filter with that size or use a step-up/step-down ring.

Is this filter suitable for video recording?

Yes, the CPL component can help control reflections and enhance colors for video, while the UV provides protection.

Troubleshooting

Vignetting (dark corners) in photos

Ensure the filter is securely attached and that the ultra-slim rim is not obstructed. If using a wide-angle lens, try removing the filter or consider a larger filter size if vignetting persists.

Filter is difficult to screw onto the lens

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

Reduced image sharpness or noticeable flare

Ensure the lens and filter glass are clean. Smudges or dust can significantly impact image quality. Confirm the nano-coating is not damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Combines two essential filters into one, saving space and cost.
  • Improves image contrast, color vibrancy, and reduces unwanted reflections.
  • Offers robust protection for the camera lens against physical damage and environmental factors.
  • High-quality glass and nano-coating ensure excellent optical performance.
  • Slim design prevents common vignetting issues.
  • Allows for filter stacking for advanced creative control.

Cons

  • Fixed 46mm size requires a compatible lens or step-up rings.
  • The combined nature means both filters are always present, which may not be ideal for all shooting scenarios.
  • Requires careful cleaning to maintain the effectiveness of the nano-coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your camera lens has a 46mm filter thread. This is typically indicated by a Ø symbol followed by the measurement (e.g., Ø46mm).
  2. Carefully screw the Urth Dual Kit - CPL/UV filter onto the front of your lens in a clockwise direction.
  3. If your lens thread is smaller than 46mm, use a compatible step-up ring to adapt.

Compatibility:

This filter is designed for lenses with a 46mm filter thread. For lenses with different thread sizes, Urth offers this Dual Kit in various diameters or recommends using step-up or step-down rings. Always confirm your lens's filter thread size before purchasing.

Care:

  • Clean the filter regularly using a lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth.
  • Avoid touching the glass surface with your fingers.
  • Store the filter in its protective case when not in use to prevent dust and scratches.
