Product Information

Full details

This Urth 72mm ND Selects Filter Kit Plus+ is designed for photographers seeking greater creative control in bright conditions, particularly landscape photographers. It enables longer shutter speeds for motion blur and shallower depth of field, with a key benefit of exceptional light control. A potential caveat is the need for careful handling due to its premium glass construction.

FAQs

What does ND stand for in photography filters?

ND stands for Neutral Density. These filters reduce the amount of light entering the camera lens without altering the color balance.

What is the difference between ND8, ND64, and ND1000?

The numbers indicate the filter's strength in stops of light reduction. ND8 reduces light by 3 stops, ND64 by 6 stops, and ND1000 by 10 stops.

Can I use this kit with a lens smaller than 72mm?

No, this specific kit is for lenses with 72mm filter threads. You would need an adapter ring or a filter kit with the correct size for smaller lenses.

How do I clean the filters?

Use a soft microfiber lens cloth and a small amount of lens cleaning solution. Gently wipe the surface. Avoid using paper towels or abrasive materials.

Can I stack these filters?

Yes, the slim rim design allows for stacking, though stacking multiple strong ND filters can significantly reduce light and potentially introduce color casts or diffraction.

What is the advantage of the Plus+ filters?

The Plus+ designation typically refers to Urth's advanced coatings and construction, including the 20-layer nano-coating for enhanced durability and light transmission.

Is this kit suitable for videography?

Yes, particularly for achieving cinematic motion blur by slowing down the shutter speed in bright conditions. However, maintaining exact shutter speeds might require experimentation.

Troubleshooting

Vignetting (dark corners) in photos

Ensure you are using the filter on a lens with a 72mm thread and that the lens's focal length is not excessively wide for the filter's slim rim design. Try using a slightly longer focal length if possible.

Color cast in images

Perform a custom white balance with the filter attached. For the ND1000, a slight color cast is normal; adjust in post-processing. Ensure the lens and filters are clean.

Difficulty screwing filter onto lens

Verify the filter size is exactly 72mm and matches the lens thread. Ensure the lens threads are clean and free of debris. Try gently rotating the filter while applying slight inward pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your camera lens has a 72mm filter thread.
  2. Carefully screw the desired ND filter onto the front of the lens until snug. Do not overtighten.
  3. If using multiple filters, screw them on one by one, starting with the smallest thread size if applicable.

Compatibility:

  • This 72mm filter kit is designed for camera lenses with a 72mm front filter thread.
  • It is compatible with a wide range of camera bodies and lens types, provided the thread size matches.
  • Check your lens's specifications for the correct filter thread size.

Care:

  • Clean the filter surface gently using a lens cleaning cloth and a lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials.
  • Store filters in their protective cases when not in use to prevent scratches and dust.
  • Handle filters by their edges to avoid smudging the glass.
