The Urth 58mm Circular Polariser Filter Plus delivers high-grade polarisation and superior colour ...The Urth 58mm Circular Polariser Filter Plus delivers high-grade polarisation and superior colour accuracy for professional creators. Engineered with German Schott glass and CoraNano 20-layer dual-side coating, it ensures natural contrast and glare-free performance in any environment. This professional filter is made with leading German SCHOTT glass that cuts polarised light to increase colour saturation, vibrancy and contrast. The filter cuts polarized light to increase contrast and boosts color saturation and vibrancy. It cuts out 99.9 percent of reflected light from water, glass, and non-metallic surfaces, uncovering bolder colors. The circular lens filter plus features 20 layers of nano-coating providing easier cleaning and better protection against water, oil, and scratches. These layers also provide a higher maximum light transmission and a more consistent transmission curve for sharper images, finer colors, and greater depth. Industry-leading German Schott B270 optical glass is coated with a 20-layer nano-coating for professional polarization, added protection, and easier cleaning. Urth’s consciously designed ultra-slim rim avoids vignetting and the durable magnalium is guaranteed for life. The filter is double-threaded for stacking filters or using screw-mount lens caps.

Product Information
Full details
The Urth 58mm Plus+ Circular Polarising Filter is designed for professional creators seeking enhanced image quality and control. Its key benefit is superior color saturation and glare reduction, particularly effective when shooting reflective surfaces like water or glass. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, meaning it's most impactful in specific lighting and shooting conditions.

FAQs
What is a circular polarising filter used for?
A circular polarising filter is used to reduce reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass, and to increase color saturation and contrast, especially in skies.
How does the 20-layer nano-coating benefit the filter?
The 20-layer nano-coating provides superior protection against water, oil, and scratches, makes the filter easier to clean, and enhances light transmission for sharper images and better color fidelity.
Will this filter cause vignetting on my lens?
The Urth Plus+ filter features an ultra-slim rim designed to minimize vignetting. However, on some ultra-wide lenses, slight vignetting might still occur. It's recommended to test on your specific lens.
How much light does this filter reduce?
Circular polarising filters typically reduce the amount of light entering the lens by 1 to 2 stops. You will need to compensate for this loss in your exposure settings.
Can I stack other filters on top of this one?
Yes, the filter is double-threaded, allowing you to stack other filters or attach a lens cap on top of it.
What type of glass is used in this filter?
This filter uses industry-leading German Schott B270 optical glass, known for its high clarity and optical performance.
Is this filter suitable for video recording?
Yes, like still photography, it can be used for video to control reflections and enhance colors. However, remember to account for the light reduction when setting your exposure.
Troubleshooting
Vignetting (dark corners) appears in photos.
Ensure you are using the correct filter size for your lens. The ultra-slim rim is designed to reduce vignetting, but it may still occur on some ultra-wide lenses. Try removing other stacked filters or using the filter on a lens with a slightly longer focal length.
Image appears too dark after attaching the filter.
Circular polarising filters reduce light by approximately 1-2 stops. Adjust your exposure settings (aperture, shutter speed, or ISO) accordingly. This is normal behavior for polarising filters.
Filter is difficult to screw on or off.
Ensure you are aligning the threads correctly. Never force the filter. If it feels stuck, try gently wiggling it while unscrewing. Avoid overtightening during installation.
Reduced effect of polarisation.
The effectiveness of a polarising filter is dependent on the angle of the sun relative to the camera and the reflective surface. Rotate the filter (or the camera) to find the optimal angle for glare reduction and color enhancement. The effect is strongest when the sun is at a 30-45 degree angle to the camera.
