FAQs

What is the main benefit of using a UV filter?

The main benefit is to reduce atmospheric haze and filter out ultraviolet (UV) light, which results in sharper images with better contrast and more accurate colors, especially in landscapes and distant shots.

How do I know if the 72mm filter will fit my lens?

The '72mm' indicates the diameter of the filter thread on your lens. Look for a symbol like 'Ø72mm' on the front of your lens, usually near the brand or model name. If your lens has this marking, the 72mm filter will fit.

Can this filter be used as a protective lens cap?

Yes, the Urth UV Lens Filter Plus+ provides excellent protection for your lens's front element against scratches, dirt, and moisture, acting as a permanent protective layer.

Does the nano-coating affect image quality?

No, the advanced nano-coating is designed to maintain high light transmission and clarity, ensuring it does not negatively impact image quality. It also helps repel dirt and oil, making the filter easier to clean.

Is this filter suitable for low-light photography?

While UV filters primarily address UV light and haze, the high-quality German SCHOTT glass and advanced coatings ensure minimal light loss. However, for extremely low-light situations, you might consider removing any filter if maximum light gathering is critical.

What does 'Plus+' signify in the product name?

The 'Plus+' typically denotes Urth's enhanced filter series, featuring their advanced nano-coating for superior protection and optical performance compared to their standard filters.

How does purchasing this filter help the environment?

Urth partners with environmental organizations, and a portion of the proceeds from each filter purchase is used to plant trees in areas affected by deforestation, helping to restore ecosystems.

Troubleshooting

Image appears soft or out of focus

Ensure the filter is screwed on straight and fully seated. Also, verify that the correct filter size for your lens was used, as an incorrect size could affect focus.

Vignetting (dark corners) in photos

This usually indicates the filter diameter is too large for the lens, especially on wide-angle lenses. Ensure you are using the exact 72mm filter size specified for your lens. For very wide lenses, consider a slim-profile filter if available.

Excessive glare or ghosting

While the filter reduces flare, extreme light sources can still cause artifacts. Try repositioning your camera or adjusting shooting angles. Ensure the filter glass is clean.

Filter is difficult to attach or remove

Ensure you are threading the filter correctly onto the lens. If it feels stuck, try a gentle, steady counter-clockwise motion. Avoid forcing it. Ensure no debris is on the lens threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves image clarity by reducing haze.
  • Offers excellent protection for your camera lens.
  • Delivers accurate color reproduction.
  • Durable construction with advanced nano-coating.
  • Contributes to environmental conservation efforts.

Cons

  • Requires careful selection of the correct filter size to avoid compatibility issues.
  • May introduce a slight color shift if not perfectly calibrated for specific lighting conditions.
  • The premium quality comes at a higher price point compared to basic filters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your camera lens is clean.
  2. Carefully screw the Urth UV Lens Filter Plus+ onto the front filter thread of your lens. Tighten gently until snug; do not overtighten.
  3. Verify that the filter does not obstruct the lens's autofocus or zoom mechanism.

Compatibility:

  • This filter is compatible with any camera lens that has a 72mm filter thread. The filter diameter is indicated by a Ø symbol followed by a number (e.g., Ø72mm).
  • Always confirm your lens's filter size before purchasing to ensure a proper fit. Using an incorrectly sized filter can lead to vignetting (dark corners in your image) or difficulty in attaching/removing.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft lens brush to remove loose dust. For smudges or fingerprints, use a microfiber lens cloth with a small amount of lens cleaning solution. Wipe gently in a circular motion from the center outwards.
  • Storage: Store the filter in its protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage.
  • Handling: Avoid touching the glass surface directly. Always handle the filter by its edges.
