Product Information

Full details

The Urth 86mm Plus+ ND64-1000 Variable ND Lens Filter is an essential tool for professional and enthusiast photographers who need precise light control in bright environments. It is designed to offer 6 to 10 stops of light reduction, enabling the use of wider apertures or slower shutter speeds for cinematic motion blur and long exposures. While this filter offers exceptional versatility and optical clarity, users should be aware that extreme wide-angle settings may introduce an X-effect artifact when adjusted near the filter's maximum density range.

FAQs

What does the ND64-1000 range mean?

It indicates the filter reduces light by 6 to 10 stops, providing significant light control for long exposures and bright daylight video.

Can I use my existing lens cap with this filter?

Yes, the filter features a double-threaded design, which allows you to attach your standard screw-mount lens caps.

Is this filter compatible with all lenses?

It is compatible with any lens that has an 86mm front filter thread.

How do I clean the nano-coating?

Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth for light dust. For smudges, apply a small amount of lens cleaning fluid to the cloth first, then gently wipe the surface.

Will this filter affect image sharpness?

The use of professional-grade German B270 SCHOTT glass ensures that image degradation is kept to an absolute minimum.

Troubleshooting

X-pattern appearing in images

This is a common characteristic of variable ND filters at high density settings. Rotate the filter slightly away from the maximum 'Max' mark until the effect disappears.

Vignetting at corners

Ensure no other stacked filters are creating a mechanical obstruction or check that your lens hood is not interfering with the frame.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality SCHOTT optical glass ensures minimal image degradation
  • Effective 6-10 stop light reduction for diverse shooting scenarios
  • 20-layer nano-coating makes the glass easy to clean and smudge-resistant
  • Ultra-slim rim prevents unwanted vignetting in most focal lengths
  • Double-threaded frame allows for stacking additional accessories

Cons

  • Potential for X-effect artifacts when used at maximum density on wide-angle lenses
  • Variable ND filters can sometimes cause uneven polarization effects
  • Requires careful adjustment to avoid crossing the density limit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, gently thread the 86mm filter onto the front element of your lens until secure. Do not overtighten to ensure easy removal. When stacking, ensure the secondary filter or lens cap is compatible with the 86mm thread size. To maintain the filter, use a soft microfiber cloth and a dedicated lens cleaning solution to remove fingerprints or dust. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the nano-coatings. Always store the filter in its provided protective case when not in use to prevent damage to the glass.
