Full details

The Urth 72mm Magnetic ND Selects Filter Kit is designed for photographers seeking enhanced creative control in various lighting conditions. It offers the ability to manipulate shutter speeds and depth of field, a key benefit for landscape and motion photography.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of using ND filters?

ND (Neutral Density) filters reduce the amount of light entering your lens, allowing you to use slower shutter speeds in bright conditions for motion blur effects (like smooth water) or wider apertures for shallow depth of field while maintaining correct exposure.

How do the different ND stops (ND8, ND64, ND1000) affect my photos?

ND8 reduces light by 3 f-stops, ND64 by 6 f-stops, and ND1000 by 10 f-stops. Higher numbers mean more light reduction, enabling longer exposures or shooting at wider apertures in brighter light.

Can I stack these magnetic filters with other filters?

While the slim rim is designed to minimize vignetting, stacking multiple filters, especially with the magnetic adapter, is not recommended as it can increase the risk of vignetting and optical degradation.

What does 'Plus+' refer to in the filter names?

The 'Plus+' designation indicates Urth's premium range, featuring 20-layer nano-coated German SCHOTT glass for superior optical quality and enhanced durability.

How do I clean the magnetic adapter ring?

Clean the magnetic adapter ring with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using liquids directly on the magnetic surface.

What is the warranty on these filters?

Urth Magnetic Lens Filters are backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Will these filters work with lenses that have a rotating front element?

The magnetic attachment is generally secure, but it's advisable to be cautious when using with lenses that have a rotating front element, especially during polarizers, to ensure the filter remains seated correctly.

Troubleshooting

Filter not attaching securely

Ensure the magnetic adapter ring is properly screwed onto the lens and is clean. Check that the filter's magnetic rim is free of debris.

Image appears significantly darker than expected

Verify that you are using the correct filter (ND8, ND64, or ND1000) for the lighting conditions. For very bright light, the ND1000 may be necessary.

Vignetting (dark corners) in images

Confirm the filter is properly seated and that you are not using an excessively wide lens that might cause stacking issues with the slim rim. Ensure no other filters are stacked in front.

Color cast in images

Clean the filter glass. If the issue persists, ensure your camera's white balance is set correctly or adjust in post-processing. The pro-grade glass minimizes color shifts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Screw the included magnetic adapter ring onto your 72mm lens.
  2. Align the magnetic filter with the adapter ring and it will snap into place.
  3. To remove, gently pull the filter away from the lens.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth, never directly on the glass.
  • Store filters in their protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and dust.
  • Keep the magnetic adapter ring and filters away from strong magnetic fields.
