FAQs

What does a CPL filter do?

A Circular Polarizing (CPL) filter reduces reflections and glare from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass. It also enhances color saturation and contrast, making skies bluer and foliage greener.

Do I need a magnetic adapter ring for this filter?

Yes, the Urth Magnetic CPL Filter Plus+ requires a specific Urth magnetic adapter ring to attach to your lens. The adapter ring is typically included with the filter.

How do I choose the right size filter?

Check the filter thread size printed on the front of your camera lens. This number (e.g., 55mm, 72mm) indicates the size of filter you need. The magnetic adapter ring will also be specific to this thread size.

Can I stack this magnetic filter with other filters?

While the magnetic system is designed for quick attachment, stacking multiple magnetic filters might be possible if they are designed to connect magnetically. However, stacking can increase the risk of vignetting and may affect optical quality. It's best to use one filter at a time for optimal results.

How do I clean the filter?

Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surface. For tougher smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution on the cloth can be used. Always avoid direct contact with the glass with fingers and harsh chemicals.

Will this filter work on my wide-angle lens?

The Urth Magnetic CPL Filter Plus+ features an ultra-slim rim to minimize vignetting. However, with extreme wide-angle lenses, some slight darkening at the corners might still occur. It's recommended to test the filter on your specific lens.

What is the benefit of German SCHOTT glass?

German SCHOTT glass is renowned for its high quality, purity, and consistency, providing exceptional optical clarity, color fidelity, and light transmission compared to lower-grade glass.

Troubleshooting

Filter won't attach magnetically

Ensure you are using the correct Urth magnetic adapter ring for your lens and that it is securely screwed onto the lens thread. Check for any debris on the adapter ring or filter magnet.

Vignetting (dark corners) in photos

While the rim is ultra-slim, very wide-angle lenses can still exhibit slight vignetting. Try zooming in slightly or check if the filter is properly seated. If the problem persists, the filter may not be compatible with the extreme wide-angle coverage of your lens.

Reduced image sharpness or clarity

Ensure the filter and lens are clean. Check that the filter is properly seated on the adapter ring. Clean the SCHOTT glass with a microfiber cloth. Avoid touching the glass surface.

Polarization effect not strong enough or too strong

The filter's polarization effect is adjustable by rotating the filter. Turn the outer ring of the filter to find the desired level of reflection reduction or color enhancement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively reduces reflections and glare.
  • Significantly improves color saturation and contrast.
  • Magnetic system allows for rapid filter changes.
  • Slim design minimizes vignetting.
  • High-quality optical glass ensures image clarity.

Cons

  • Requires a compatible magnetic adapter ring for attachment.
  • Can be a higher initial investment compared to traditional screw-on filters.
  • Magnetic system might not be suitable for all lens types or shooting styles.
  • Potential for loss if not secured properly (though adapter rings help).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Urth Magnetic CPL Filter Plus+ requires a compatible magnetic adapter ring, which is included with the filter. Screw the adapter ring onto your lens thread. The filter then magnetically snaps onto the adapter ring. Ensure it is securely attached before shooting.

Compatibility: This filter is available in various sizes to fit different lens diameters. Always check your lens's filter thread size (usually printed on the lens barrel) and choose the corresponding filter size. The magnetic adapter ring ensures compatibility across lenses of the same thread size. It's designed to be ultra-slim to minimize vignetting, but always test with your specific lens, especially wide-angle lenses.

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