Product Information

Full details

The Urth Solar ND100000 Filter Plus+ 95mm is designed for photographers specializing in solar and eclipse photography, or those requiring extreme long exposures even in direct sunlight. Its primary benefit is providing unparalleled light reduction (99.9999%, 16.6 F-stops), ensuring safe solar viewing and enabling creative motion blur effects. A potential caveat is its extreme density, which makes it unsuitable for general photography or low-light conditions.

FAQs

Is this filter safe for viewing the sun directly?

While the filter significantly reduces light for camera sensors, it is *not* a direct replacement for certified solar eclipse viewers for human eyesight. Always use proper eye protection when observing the sun.

Can I use this filter for regular landscape photography?

This filter is far too dense (16.6 F-stops) for most general photography. It's specifically designed for extreme conditions like direct solar observation or very long exposures in bright sunlight. For general use, consider ND filters with lower F-stop values.

What is the main benefit of the CoraNano coating?

The 20-layer CoraNano coating provides ultra-low reflectivity, improving contrast and color fidelity. It also makes the filter resistant to water, oil, and fingerprints, making it easier to clean and maintain optical clarity.

How does the ultra-slim rim design help?

The ultra-slim rim ensures that the filter does not cause vignetting (darkening of the corners) on wider-angle lenses, maintaining consistent exposure and optical quality across the frame.

What does '16.6 F-stops' mean?

F-stops represent a measure of light reduction. 16.6 F-stops means the filter reduces the amount of light entering the camera by a factor of approximately 100,000, allowing for very long exposure times even in extremely bright light.

What is the filter made of?

The filter is crafted from high-quality German SCHOTT B270 glass and features a durable 6061 aluminum frame.

What is the warranty for this filter?

Urth filters are backed for life, reflecting their commitment to durability and quality.

Troubleshooting

Filter does not screw onto the lens.

Verify that your lens has a 95mm filter thread. This filter is only compatible with lenses that match this specific size.

Image appears overly dark or underexposed.

This filter provides 16.6 stops of light reduction, making it extremely dense. It is intended for very bright conditions like direct sunlight for solar photography. For normal or low-light photography, a much lower F-stop ND filter is required.

Unwanted reflections or flares are visible.

Ensure the lens and filter are clean. The CoraNano coating is designed to minimize reflectivity, but extreme light sources can still cause flares. The ultra-slim rim also helps reduce internal reflections.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables safe solar photography and eclipse viewing.
  • Facilitates creative extreme long exposure photography.
  • Exceptional image quality with sharp detail and accurate colors.
  • Durable build quality for reliable use.
  • Protects lens from environmental elements when not in use.

Cons

  • Too dense for standard photography or low-light conditions.
  • Requires careful handling due to its specialized nature.
  • May require additional accessories for certain solar viewing safety protocols.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Screw the filter onto the front of your 95mm lens. Ensure it is attached securely but do not overtighten. Always confirm your lens thread size before purchase.

Compatibility: This filter is specifically designed for 95mm lens filter threads. Please check your lens's filter size (usually indicated by a diameter symbol Ø followed by a number) before purchasing.

Care:

  • Clean the filter surface gently with a soft lens brush to remove dust.
  • For smudges or fingerprints, use a lens microfiber cloth. A lens cleaning solution can be applied sparingly to the cloth if needed.
  • Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
  • Store the filter in its protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage.
