Urth ND64 (6 Stop) Lens Filter Plus+ - 58mm

A 6-stop ND filter significantly reduces the amount of light entering your lens, allowing you to use slower shutter speeds for creative effects like motion blur (e.g., smooth water) or wider apertures for shallow depth of field in bright lighting conditions without overexposing your image.

The nano-coating enhances light transmission for better image clarity and color accuracy. It also provides superior protection against scratches, water, and dust, making the filter more durable and easier to clean.

This specific filter is for lenses with a 58mm filter thread. Urth offers this ND64 filter in many other sizes (e.g., 37mm, 82mm, 112mm). You can also use step-up rings to adapt it to lenses with larger filter threads.

Your camera's meter will indicate overexposure. You need to compensate by either increasing your shutter speed (if you want a longer exposure for motion blur) or opening up your aperture (if you want a shallower depth of field), or a combination of both, until your camera indicates a correct exposure.

Yes, it's excellent for videography. It helps maintain the '180-degree rule' for shutter speed (e.g., 1/50s for 24fps) in bright light while allowing for a wider aperture to achieve a shallow depth of field for a cinematic look.

A fixed ND filter (like this one) provides a consistent amount of light reduction. A variable ND filter allows you to adjust the amount of light reduction across a range, offering more flexibility but potentially introducing color cast or an 'X' pattern at extreme settings.

The ultra-slim rim is designed to minimize vignetting. However, on very wide-angle lenses, or when stacking multiple filters, some minor vignetting might still occur.

Ensure the correct shutter speed or aperture is set for the desired exposure. A 6-stop ND filter significantly reduces light, requiring longer exposure times or wider apertures.

Verify that the ultra-slim rim is not causing a blockage, especially on very wide-angle lenses. If using multiple filters, remove all but the ND filter to test.

Check that you are using a 58mm lens and that the filter's threads are clean. Align the filter carefully with the lens threads and turn gently. Do not force it.

Clean the filter gently with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaning solution. Avoid touching the glass with your fingers.
