FAQs

What does 'ND' stand for in ND filter?

'ND' stands for Neutral Density. It means the filter reduces the amount of light entering the lens evenly across the visible spectrum, without affecting color.

How do I choose the right filter size?

Look for the filter thread size on the front of your camera lens. It is usually indicated by a circle with a line through it, followed by a number (e.g., ø52mm).

Can I stack these filters?

Yes, you can stack the filters for even greater light reduction. However, stacking multiple filters, especially the ND1000, can lead to increased vignetting and potential loss of sharpness.

What is the benefit of the Plus+ coating?

The Plus+ coating refers to the advanced 20-layer nano-coating that enhances light transmission, improves color neutrality, and provides better protection against scratches and water.

How does this filter help with motion blur?

By reducing the amount of light, ND filters allow you to use slower shutter speeds, even in bright conditions. This enables you to capture motion blur in moving elements like water or clouds.

What is the warranty on these filters?

Urth offers a lifetime warranty on their filters, guaranteeing quality and performance.

How does purchasing this filter contribute to the environment?

With every purchase of an Urth filter, the company plants 5 trees in areas affected by deforestation, contributing to reforestation efforts.

Troubleshooting

Visible color cast (e.g., green or magenta tint)

Adjust the white balance in your camera settings or during post-processing. The ND1000 filter, in particular, might require more significant correction.

Difficulty screwing filter onto lens

Ensure you have the correct filter thread size for your lens. Check for any debris on the lens threads or the filter threads and gently clean them before re-attempting.

Reduced image sharpness

Ensure the filter is clean and free of smudges or dust. Verify the filter is properly seated and not cross-threaded. Clean your lens elements as well.

Vignetting (dark corners) at wider focal lengths

This can occur with thicker filters or when stacking filters. Try using a wider lens or remove the lens hood. If using the ND1000 on wider lenses, this is a common artifact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides significant creative flexibility with three common ND strengths.
  • High-quality German SCHOTT glass ensures excellent image clarity.
  • Advanced nano-coating minimizes reflections and maintains color accuracy.
  • Durable construction for long-term use.
  • Supports environmental conservation through tree planting.

Cons

  • May require white balance adjustment to achieve perfect color neutrality in some situations.
  • The ND1000 filter can be challenging to use in very low light conditions due to extreme density.
  • Specific sizes need to be matched to lens threads, requiring careful selection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use the Urth ND Selects Filter Kit, simply screw the desired filter onto the front of your lens. Ensure the filter's thread size matches your lens's thread size. The filters are designed to be hand-tightened; avoid over-tightening.

Compatibility: This kit is available in various thread sizes (e.g., 37mm, 52mm, 72mm, 77mm, 95mm) to fit a wide range of camera lenses. Always verify your lens's filter thread size before purchasing. The kit's design is compatible with most standard camera lenses.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, clean the filters regularly. Use a soft microfiber cloth to gently wipe away dust and smudges. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with lens cleaning solution or distilled water. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the nano-coating. Store filters in their protective cases when not in use to prevent scratches.
