FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Urth UV Lens Filter Plus+?

Its primary purpose is to reduce UV light for clearer, sharper images, especially in hazy conditions, and to protect the camera lens from scratches, dirt, and moisture.

How effective is the UV light reduction?

The filter cuts out 99.6% of ultraviolet light, which helps minimize color casts and atmospheric haze.

What is the filter made of?

It is made from 30-layer nano-coated German SCHOTT glass, known for its high light transmittance and scratch resistance.

Does this filter affect autofocus or exposure?

Due to its high light transmittance and focus on UV light, it should have minimal impact on autofocus and exposure. However, always monitor your camera's settings.

How do I know if the 62mm size is right for my lens?

Look for the filter thread size marking on your lens, usually represented by a circle with a line through it and a number (e.g., ø62mm).

What does the 'Plus+' signify?

The 'Plus+' designation typically refers to the advanced multi-layer nano-coating that enhances performance features like reduced reflections and improved durability.

Can this filter be stacked with other filters?

Yes, it can often be stacked with other filters like polarizers or neutral density filters, but stacking may increase the risk of vignetting or flare, depending on the lens and combination.

Troubleshooting

Image appears softer than expected.

Ensure the filter is clean and free of smudges. Verify that the filter is screwed on correctly and not cross-threaded. For extreme haze, consider if additional filtration (like CPL) might be beneficial, although this UV filter is primarily for haze and protection.

Filter is difficult to screw onto the lens.

Double-check that you are using the correct 62mm filter and that the lens thread is clean. Ensure you are screwing it on straight and not cross-threading. If resistance persists, do not force it; contact support.

Noticeable flare or ghosting.

While the nano-coating aims to reduce flare, strong direct light sources can still cause it. Try repositioning your shot or using a lens hood to minimize direct light hitting the filter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces UV light for improved image sharpness and color accuracy.
  • Provides robust protection against physical damage and environmental elements.
  • Utilizes premium German SCHOTT glass for excellent optical performance.
  • Durable construction with scratch-resistant nano-coating.
  • Supports environmental conservation through tree planting initiative.

Cons

  • The 62mm size is specific and may not fit all lenses.
  • While cutting UV light, it does not offer polarization or ND filtering capabilities.
  • Requires careful handling during cleaning to maintain the nano-coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your camera lens has a 62mm filter thread size. This is typically indicated by a circled 'ø' symbol followed by '62' on the lens barrel.
  2. Gently screw the Urth UV Lens Filter Plus+ onto the front of the lens in a clockwise direction until snug. Do not overtighten.

Compatibility:

This filter is specifically designed for lenses with a 62mm front filter thread. It is compatible with most camera brands and lens types that feature this thread size. Check your lens specifications to confirm compatibility.

Care:

  • To clean, use a soft lens brush or microfiber cloth to gently remove dust and debris.
  • For smudges or fingerprints, use a lens cleaning solution applied to a microfiber cloth (never directly onto the lens).
  • Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, which can damage the nano-coating.
  • Store the filter in its protective case when not in use.
