The Urth 62mm CPL Lens Filter is designed for photographers seeking to enhance image quality by reducing glare and improving color saturation. It effectively cuts polarized light for better contrast and vividness. A potential consideration is ensuring the 62mm size is compatible with your specific lens. Key features include premium Japanese glass, multi-layer nano-coating, and a commitment to environmental sustainability through tree planting.

A CPL filter reduces glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass, and it enhances color saturation and contrast, making skies bluer and foliage greener.
Check the front of your lens. You will typically see a diameter symbol (Ø) followed by a number, like 'Ø62mm'. This indicates the filter size needed.
CPL filters can reduce the amount of light entering the lens by 1-2 stops, which might require adjusting your exposure settings (e.g., slower shutter speed). Modern autofocus systems are generally unaffected, but in very low light, autofocus performance might be marginally impacted due to reduced light.
While looking through your camera's viewfinder or at the live view screen, rotate the outer ring of the filter. The effect will change as you rotate it, allowing you to find the optimal setting for reducing reflections or enhancing colors.
Yes, you can stack this CPL filter with other filters like ND or UV filters, but be mindful that stacking can increase the risk of vignetting on wider lenses and potentially reduce image quality.
The 8-layer nano-coating improves light transmittance, reduces lens flare and ghosting, and makes the filter easier to clean by repelling dust and water.
Urth partners with environmental organizations, and a portion of the proceeds from each filter purchase is allocated to planting trees in areas affected by deforestation.
This can happen with wide-angle lenses. Try using a slimmer profile filter if available, or ensure you are not using the filter with a lens that is too wide for its mount.
Ensure you are using the correct filter size (62mm) and that the lens threads are clean. Try screwing it on gently and straight.
Ensure the filter is rotated correctly to achieve the desired effect. The CPL's effectiveness varies with the angle of the light source (sun) relative to the camera. Also, check that the filter is properly seated.
Setup: Screw the Urth 62mm CPL filter onto the front filter thread of your lens that has a 62mm diameter. Ensure it is threaded on straight and snug, but do not overtighten. To adjust the polarizing effect, rotate the outer ring of the filter while looking through the lens or at the camera's live view until the desired reflection reduction or color enhancement is achieved.
Compatibility: This filter is designed for lenses with a 62mm front filter thread. Always verify your lens's filter size before purchasing. It can be used with other lens accessories like lens caps or hoods, provided they are compatible with the added filter diameter.
Care: Clean the filter glass periodically using a soft lens brush or microfiber cloth to remove dust and smudges. For stubborn marks, use a lens cleaning solution applied to the cloth, not directly to the glass. Store the filter in its protective case when not in use to prevent scratches.
