Product Information

Full details

This Urth 46mm CPL and ND64 Lens Filter Plus+ is designed for photographers seeking to enhance image contrast, color saturation, and achieve creative motion blur effects in bright lighting conditions. Its primary benefit is combining polarizing and 6-stop neutral density filtration into a single, high-quality unit. A potential caveat is the need for careful rotation to achieve the desired polarization effect, which requires practice.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the CPL + ND64 filter?

It combines the benefits of a polarizing filter (reducing glare, enhancing colors) and a 6-stop neutral density filter (allowing for longer exposures in bright light) into a single unit.

How do I know if this filter fits my lens?

This filter is for lenses with a 46mm filter thread. Look for the 'ø46mm' marking on your lens barrel or in its specifications.

Can I stack this filter with other filters?

While possible, stacking filters, especially with a slim-profile filter like this, can increase the risk of vignetting and light loss. It is generally recommended to use only the necessary filters.

How many stops of light does the ND64 filter reduce?

The ND64 component reduces light by 6 f-stops.

What kind of glass is used in this filter?

It uses 20-layer nano-coated German SCHOTT glass, known for its high quality and excellent light transmission.

Is the polarization adjustable?

Yes, the filter features a rotating outer ring that allows you to adjust the degree of polarization to achieve your desired effect.

What is the warranty on this filter?

Urth offers a lifetime quality guarantee on this filter.

Troubleshooting

Filter is difficult to screw onto the lens.

Ensure you are using the correct filter size (46mm) and that both the lens thread and filter thread are clean and free of debris. Do not force the filter; try re-aligning it.

Vignetting (dark corners) is present in images.

Although designed with an ultra-slim rim, extreme wide-angle lenses might still exhibit slight vignetting. Try zooming in slightly or consider using a compatible wider lens without the filter if vignetting is severe.

Polarization effect is not noticeable or not as expected.

Ensure the outer ring of the filter is rotated to the correct position. The CPL effect is most noticeable at certain angles relative to the light source. Experiment with rotation while viewing through the viewfinder or live view.

Image appears too dark even after setting desired aperture and shutter speed.

The 6-stop ND filter significantly reduces light. Adjust your exposure settings accordingly, or consider using a lower stop ND filter if this level of light reduction is too much for your intended shot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Combines two essential filters into one convenient unit.
  • Significantly improves color saturation and contrast.
  • Enables creative long exposures and motion blur in daylight.
  • Constructed with high-quality, durable materials.
  • Designed to prevent vignetting.

Cons

  • Requires careful rotation to adjust polarization effect.
  • Adding a 6-stop ND filter may be too much light reduction for some shooting scenarios.
  • May require a lens hood to prevent flare in specific lighting conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Screw the Urth 46mm Circular Polarising (CPL) and ND64 Lens Filter Plus+ onto the front of your 46mm threaded lens. Rotate the outer ring of the filter to adjust the polarization effect. The desired level of polarization is achieved when you observe the maximum reduction in reflections or the deepest sky color.

Compatibility: This filter is designed for lenses with a 46mm filter thread. Please verify your lens's filter thread size before purchasing. It is compatible with a wide range of camera bodies and lenses that accept 46mm filters.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, clean the filter regularly. Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently wipe away dust and smudges. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with a lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the multi-layer coatings. Store the filter in its protective case when not in use to prevent scratches.
