Urth Magnetic Ethereal 1/4 BlackMist Lens Filter (Plus+) - 52mm

The '1/4' refers to the strength of the BlackMist diffusion effect. Lower numbers indicate a subtler diffusion, while higher numbers provide a more pronounced softening and glow.

The magnetic system is proprietary. For best results and secure attachment, it is recommended to use Urth magnetic filters with Urth magnetic adapters or lenses.

The Ethereal BlackMist filter is designed to have minimal impact on autofocus performance. However, in very low light or with extremely challenging subjects, any filter can potentially affect autofocus speed or accuracy.

Yes, the 20-layer nano-coating significantly improves resistance to fingerprints, water spots, and smudges, making the filter easier to keep clean.

The 'Plus+' designation and the specific 'Ethereal' naming usually indicate an improved version with potentially better coatings, specific optical glass, or enhanced diffusion characteristics compared to older or basic models.

No, the 20-layer nano-coating is designed for neutral color balance, meaning it should not introduce any color casts into your images.

Use a clean microfiber cloth to wipe away dust or smudges. For tougher marks, slightly dampen the cloth with a lens cleaning solution. Avoid applying solution directly to the filter.

Ensure both the lens/adapter rim and the filter are clean and free from debris. Verify that you are using a compatible Urth magnetic adapter or a lens with a magnetic system.

While designed to be ultra-slim, extreme wide-angle lenses can sometimes still exhibit slight vignetting. Ensure the filter is correctly seated. Try a different lens or consider removing the filter for specific ultra-wide shots.

The Ethereal 1/4 BlackMist provides a subtle effect. If the diffusion is too strong, consider a lower strength filter (e.g., 1/8) or remove the filter altogether. The effect is also dependent on lighting conditions.

Gently and evenly pull the filter straight off the lens or adapter. Avoid twisting, which could make removal harder. If it is stuck, ensure no external pressure is being applied to the lens mount.
