The Urth Variable ND2-32 + 1/4 Black Mist Filter Pro (39mm) is designed for photographers and videographers seeking to control light exposure while adding a cinematic aesthetic to their footage. This filter excels at softening harsh highlights and creating a dreamlike halation effect, making it an ideal tool for portrait and narrative filmmaking; however, users should be aware that the variable ND mechanism may introduce a cross-polarization 'X' effect if pushed beyond its intended 5-stop limit on ultra-wide lenses.

Yes, standard lens caps that fit a 39mm thread should fit over the filter, though some tight-fitting caps may be difficult to secure.
On most standard lenses, the ultra-slim frame is designed to prevent vignetting. However, use caution on ultra-wide angle lenses.
It reduces contrast and softens high-frequency details, which is popular for creating a cinematic, dreamy look in digital video.
It is not recommended to stack other filters on top of a variable ND, as this increases the likelihood of vignetting and potential optical artifacts.
While the nano-coating helps repel water and dust, the filter itself is not fully weather-sealed. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or high moisture.
This is common in variable ND filters at high density settings. Slightly rotate the filter back toward the ND2 mark to reduce the intensity until the pattern disappears.
Avoid squeezing the frame too hard. Use a rubber lens filter wrench to gain a better grip and apply even, gentle counter-clockwise pressure.
To install, gently screw the 39mm filter threads onto the front of your compatible lens. Ensure the filter is seated properly to avoid cross-threading. When adjusting density, use the square-edge grip to rotate the front element; the hard stops will notify you when you have reached the limit of the ND range. For care, always store the filter in its protective case when not in use. Use a dedicated lens cleaning cloth or a blower to remove dust. If the glass becomes smudged, apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution to a microfiber cloth—never directly to the glass—and wipe in a circular motion.
