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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves color saturation and contrast.
  • Effectively reduces glare from water, glass, and other reflective surfaces.
  • High-quality Schott glass ensures optical clarity.
  • Durable 20-layer nano-coating offers excellent protection and easy cleaning.
  • Slim profile minimizes the risk of vignetting.
  • Lifetime guarantee provides peace of mind.

Cons

  • May reduce light by 1-2 stops, requiring compensation.
  • Not always necessary; its impact varies with lighting conditions.
  • Requires careful handling despite its durable coating.
  • Specific 58mm thread size limits compatibility with other lens diameters without adapters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the thread size of your lens. This filter is 58mm.
  2. Gently screw the filter onto the front of your lens in a clockwise direction until snug. Do not overtighten.
  3. If stacking, screw the second filter onto the front threads of the polarising filter.

Compatibility:

  • This filter is compatible with any lens featuring a 58mm front filter thread.
  • Its slim design is intended to minimize vignetting, but compatibility with very wide-angle lenses should still be tested.

Care:

  • Clean the filter surface using a soft lens brush to remove dust.
  • For smudges or fingerprints, use a microfiber lens cloth. Gently wipe in a circular motion from the center outwards.
  • For stubborn marks, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth, not directly on the glass. Avoid abrasive materials.
  • Store the filter in its protective case when not in use.
