Urth 67mm Plus+ UV Filter

The primary benefit is to reduce ultraviolet light, which helps to cut haze and improve image sharpness and color accuracy, especially in bright, outdoor conditions. It also serves as essential protection for your lens.

The Urth Plus+ UV Filter features a 30-layer nano-coating with high transmittance, German SCHOTT glass for superior clarity and reduced flare, a durable magnalium construction, and an ultra-slim rim design, offering enhanced optical performance and protection over basic UV filters.

The Urth 67mm Plus+ UV Filter is designed to cut 99.6% of UV light without introducing a significant color cast. In fact, it helps to reduce the blue cast often caused by UV light, leading to more neutral and accurate colors.

Yes, you can stack other filters like polarizers or ND filters on top of the UV filter. However, stacking multiple filters, especially on wide-angle lenses, increases the risk of vignetting. The ultra-slim design of this UV filter minimizes that risk compared to thicker filters.

The lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects and issues related to the quality and durability of the filter's construction. It reflects Urth's commitment to the longevity of their products.

For best results, use a soft lens brush to remove loose dust. For fingerprints or smudges, apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution to a clean microfiber cloth and gently wipe the filter surface in a circular motion from the center outwards.

If you exclusively shoot indoors under controlled lighting, a UV filter's primary function of cutting ambient UV light and haze is less critical. However, it still provides valuable protection against scratches and damage to your lens, which can be a good reason to keep it attached.

Ensure the filter is clean and free from smudges. Verify that the 30-layer nano-coating is intact. Try removing the lens hood to see if it was interacting with the filter.

Confirm that the lens is indeed a 67mm thread and that the filter is correctly seated. While designed to be slim, extreme wide-angle lenses may still show slight vignetting. Ensure no other filters are stacked.

Clean the filter thoroughly using a microfiber cloth and lens cleaning solution. Check if the filter has any scratches that might be affecting image quality.

Ensure you are using the correct filter size for your lens. Check the threads on both the lens and the filter for any debris or damage. Screw and unscrew gently and straight.
