Product Information

Full details

The Urth 62mm ND64 (6 Stop) Lens Filter Plus+ is designed for photographers and videographers seeking creative control in bright lighting conditions. Its primary benefit is enabling longer exposures for motion blur and shallower depth of field effects. A potential consideration is its fixed 6-stop reduction, which may be too much for very low light scenarios. Key features include 20 layers of nano-coating for enhanced clarity and protection, German SCHOTT glass for superior optical quality, and an ultra-slim rim to prevent vignetting.

FAQs

What does 'ND64' mean?

ND64 stands for Neutral Density 64. It indicates the filter reduces the amount of light entering the lens by a factor of 64, which corresponds to a 6-stop light reduction.

Can I stack this filter with other filters?

Yes, the Urth Plus+ filters are designed to be stackable. However, stacking multiple filters, especially ND filters, can sometimes lead to a reduction in image quality or introduce color casts.

How do I clean the nano-coating without damaging it?

Use a soft lens brush for dust. For smudges, apply a dedicated lens cleaning solution to a microfiber cloth, not directly to the filter, and wipe gently in a circular motion from the center outwards.

What is the warranty on this filter?

Urth provides a Lifetime Quality Guarantee on their ND64 Plus+ filters, indicating their commitment to the product's durability and performance.

Is this filter suitable for astrophotography?

Generally, ND filters are not used for standard astrophotography, which aims to gather as much light as possible. However, in specific scenarios like capturing the Milky Way in very bright, light-polluted areas, a mild ND filter might be considered, though a 6-stop ND is likely too strong.

Will this filter affect autofocus performance?

While ND filters reduce light, modern camera autofocus systems can usually compensate. In very low light conditions where autofocus is already struggling, the reduced light might make it slower or less reliable.

What is the difference between the Plus+ series and other ND filters?

The Plus+ series features an enhanced 20-layer nano-coating for better protection, easier cleaning, and higher light transmission compared to standard filters. It also boasts an ultra-slim rim design.

Troubleshooting

Vignetting (dark corners) in photos.

Ensure the filter is screwed on straight and that you are not using a very wide-angle lens where the ultra-slim rim might still cause slight obstruction. Try removing and reattaching the filter carefully.

Image appears to have a color cast (e.g., green or blue tint).

While the German SCHOTT glass is designed for neutrality, subtle casts can sometimes occur. Adjust white balance in post-processing or in-camera. Ensure the nano-coatings are clean.

Filter is difficult to screw onto the lens.

Check for any debris on the lens threads or the filter threads. Ensure you are using the correct filter size (62mm). Do not force the filter; if resistance is met, unscrew and try again carefully.

Reduced sharpness or clarity.

Ensure the filter glass is clean. Smudges or dust can significantly impact sharpness. Check that the filter is properly seated on the lens.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables creative motion blur and depth of field effects in bright light.
  • High-quality German SCHOTT glass ensures excellent image clarity.
  • 20-layer nano-coating offers improved protection and easier cleaning.
  • Ultra-slim rim design prevents vignetting.
  • Durable construction with a lifetime guarantee.

Cons

  • Fixed 6-stop reduction might be too strong for some low-light situations.
  • Not ideal for situations requiring only minimal light reduction.
  • Requires careful handling to maintain the effectiveness of coatings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply screw the Urth 62mm ND64 filter onto the front of your 62mm threaded lens. Ensure the lens is clean before attaching the filter to avoid trapping dust.

Compatibility: This filter is designed for camera lenses with a 62mm front filter thread. Always confirm your lens's filter size before purchasing. The Urth Plus+ series is compatible with other Urth Plus+ filters for stacking, though stacking multiple ND filters can sometimes reduce image quality.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft lens brush to remove loose dust. For smudges or fingerprints, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on a microfiber cloth and wipe gently.
  2. Storage: Store the filter in its protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage.
  3. Handling: Avoid touching the glass surface directly. Hold the filter by its edges.
