Product Information

Full details

The Urth 95mm UV Lens Filter is designed for photographers seeking enhanced image quality and lens protection. It effectively reduces UV haze for clearer images and acts as a protective barrier against scratches and environmental damage. A potential caveat is its specific size; ensure the 95mm diameter matches your lens. Key features include advanced lens protection, enhanced image quality through haze reduction, superior Japanese AGC glass with nano-coating, and a precision-engineered ultra-slim rim.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of a UV filter?

A UV filter primarily reduces ultraviolet light haze, which can make distant objects appear washed out or bluish. It also serves as a protective layer for the front element of your lens against scratches, dust, and impacts.

How do I know if this 95mm filter will fit my lens?

Check the front of your camera lens for a marking that typically looks like 'ø95mm' or '95'. This indicates the diameter of the filter thread the lens accepts.

Can I use this filter for general photography or only for UV protection?

This filter serves a dual purpose. It protects your lens and improves image quality by cutting haze and reducing UV light. It's suitable for all types of photography, including landscapes, portraits, and general use.

How many layers of nano-coating does the glass have?

The Urth UV Lens Filter features an 8-layer nano-coating on its Japanese AGC glass.

What is the construction material of the filter rim?

The filter is constructed from robust magnalium, known for its durability and light weight.

Is this filter suitable for video recording?

Yes, the filter can be beneficial for video recording by reducing atmospheric haze and glare, leading to clearer footage, especially in outdoor or bright conditions.

What does 'Lifetime Quality' mean for this product?

The 'Lifetime Quality' backing signifies that Urth stands behind the product's construction and durability for the lifespan of the product under normal use. It suggests a commitment to quality and long-term customer satisfaction.

Troubleshooting

Filter doesn't screw onto the lens.

Verify that your lens has a 95mm filter thread. If it does, ensure there are no obstructions or cross-threading.

Image appears blurry or soft.

Ensure the filter is clean. Smudges or dirt on the glass can affect image sharpness. Re-check that the filter is securely attached and not misaligned.

Noticeable darkening or vignetting at the corners of the image.

This filter features an ultra-slim rim, but severe vignetting can occur when using wide-angle lenses or stacking multiple filters. Try removing other filters or using a lens with a focal length less prone to vignetting.

Flare or ghosting in images.

While the nano-coating minimizes flare, shooting directly into very bright light sources can still cause this. Try repositioning your camera slightly or using a lens hood to block direct light.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent protection against scratches and damage.
  • Improves image sharpness and color accuracy by reducing haze.
  • High-quality Japanese glass with advanced nano-coating.
  • Slim profile prevents vignetting on most lenses.
  • Durable magnalium construction ensures longevity.
  • Backed by a lifetime quality guarantee.

Cons

  • Specific 95mm size may not fit all lenses.
  • As with any filter, can potentially introduce slight flare if shooting directly into a very bright light source.
  • Requires careful cleaning to maintain optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your camera lens has a 95mm filter thread. This is usually indicated by a symbol like "ø95mm" on the lens barrel.
  2. Gently screw the Urth UV Lens Filter onto the front of your lens in a clockwise direction until it is snug. Do not overtighten.
  3. The filter can be stacked with other filters, though this may impact image quality and increase the risk of vignetting.

Compatibility:

  • This filter is designed for camera lenses with a 95mm front filter thread. Please check your lens specifications before purchasing.
  • It is compatible with a wide range of camera bodies and lens types, provided the filter thread size matches.

Care:

  • Clean the filter regularly to maintain optical clarity. Use a soft lens brush to remove dust.
  • For smudges or fingerprints, use a lens cleaning solution applied to a microfiber cloth. Wipe gently in a circular motion from the center outwards.
  • Store the filter in its protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
