The UV filter protects your front lens against scratches and dirt, improves image quality by reducing lens flare and blocks 99.6% of UV rays to sharpen photos. The Polarizing Filter Plus+ blocks 99.9% of reflected light and is used to reduce reflections and glare in water and glass and improve the contrast and colour saturation of your images. This 2-IN-1 FILTER KIT features a UV Filter Plus+ to protect your lens and sharpen your photos, and a CPL Polarizing Filter Plus+ to cut glare and take more vivid photos. The UV Lens Filter cuts ultraviolet haze and the CPL Polarizing Filter cuts polarized light for better clarity, contrast and stronger colours. The pro-range UV Filter has a 30-layer nano-coating and the CPL has 20-layers nano-coating over German SCHOTT glass, ensuring exceptional light control and transmission. The ultra-slim rim design of these camera lens filters optimize optics and prevent vignetting. Made from tough magnalium, Urth Lens Filter Kits offer lasting resilience.

FAQs
What is the main difference between the UV and CPL filters in this kit?
The UV filter protects your lens and sharpens images by blocking UV light and reducing flare. The CPL (Circular Polarizer) filter reduces glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces and enhances color saturation and contrast.
Can I use these filters on lenses with a different thread size?
This specific kit is for 77mm lenses. You would need step-up or step-down rings to adapt them to other sizes, though this can sometimes lead to vignetting or compatibility issues.
How many layers of nano-coating do the filters have?
The UV filter features a 30-layer nano-coating, and the CPL filter has a 20-layer nano-coating.
Do these filters reduce the amount of light entering the lens?
Yes, all filters reduce light transmission to some degree. The UV filter has minimal impact, while the CPL filter can reduce light by one to two stops, depending on its rotation.
Are the included protective caps metal?
Yes, the kit comes with metal protective caps for safe storage and transport.
How should I clean the filter to maintain its coatings?
Use a soft lens brush or air blower first. For smudges, use a microfiber cloth lightly dampened with lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials.
What is the warranty period for this filter kit?
Warranty information is typically detailed by the retailer. Please refer to your purchase documentation for specific warranty terms.
Troubleshooting
Image appears too dark after attaching filters
This can happen due to light loss. Ensure you are compensating with your camera's exposure settings, or consider removing one filter if the combined effect is too significant for the lighting conditions.
Uneven polarization effect or color shifts
This is often due to the angle of the CPL filter relative to the light source and the subject. Rotate the filter ring to achieve the desired effect. Ensure the filter is screwed on straight.
Vignetting (dark corners) in wide-angle shots
While designed to be ultra-slim, extreme wide-angle lenses can still experience vignetting. Try zooming in slightly or check if stacking both filters exacerbates the issue.
Filter is difficult to screw on or off
Ensure you are aligning the filter threads correctly and not cross-threading. Apply gentle, steady pressure. If it feels stuck, do not force it; try wiggling slightly or seeking professional assistance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Protects the front lens element from scratches and dirt.
Reduces unwanted reflections and glare from surfaces like water and glass.
Improves image contrast and color saturation for more vivid photos.
Blocks UV rays to reduce atmospheric haze and sharpen distant subjects.
High-quality German SCHOTT glass ensures excellent light transmission.
Durable magnalium construction with protective caps for longevity.
Cons
Requires careful cleaning to avoid damaging the advanced nano-coatings.
The combined effect of two filters can slightly reduce light transmission.
77mm is a specific lens thread size, not universally compatible without adapters.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Identify the thread size of your camera lens. This kit is specifically for 77mm lenses.
Gently screw the filter onto the front of the lens in a clockwise direction.
If using both filters, stack them carefully, ensuring the thread direction is maintained.
Compatibility:
This filter is designed for camera lenses with a 77mm front filter thread.
It is compatible with most camera bodies and lens types that accept 77mm filters.
Care:
Clean the filter surfaces regularly using a soft lens brush or air blower to remove dust and debris.
For smudges or fingerprints, use a microfiber lens cloth lightly dampened with a specialized lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
Always store the filters in their protective metal caps or a dedicated filter pouch to prevent scratches and damage.
