Product Information

Full details

The Urth 72mm Magnetic ND1000 (10 Stop) Filter Plus+ is designed for photographers seeking to achieve creative effects with slow shutter speeds and wide apertures, even in bright conditions. Its primary benefit is enabling long exposures by significantly reducing light, allowing for silky smooth water or motion blur. A minor caveat is the need for the specific magnetic adapter ring, which is included. This filter is built with high-quality German glass and a robust magnalium frame, featuring a convenient magnetic mounting system for quick changes.

FAQs

What does an ND1000 filter do?

An ND1000 filter is a Neutral Density filter that reduces the amount of light entering your lens by 10 f-stops. This allows you to use slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright conditions for creative effects like motion blur or shallow depth of field.

How does the magnetic system work?

The filter has a magnetic rim that quickly and securely attaches to a corresponding magnetic adapter ring that you screw onto your lens. This allows for very fast filter changes compared to traditional screw-on filters.

Can I use this filter on lenses other than 72mm?

The 72mm filter itself is for lenses with a 72mm thread. However, you can use separate Urth magnetic adapter rings designed for different lens sizes to attach this filter to those lenses.

Will this filter cause vignetting?

The filter is designed to be slim to minimize vignetting, especially on wide-angle lenses. However, on very wide focal lengths, some vignetting may still occur. Using the adapter ring can sometimes influence this.

Is the magnetic adapter ring included?

Yes, the Urth 72mm Magnetic ND1000 (10 Stop) Filter Plus+ includes one magnetic adapter ring for immediate use with a 72mm lens.

What is the warranty on this filter?

This filter comes with a lifetime warranty, covering manufacturing defects.

How do I clean the filter?

Use a clean microfiber lens cloth to gently wipe the glass. For tougher smudges, apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution to the cloth, not directly to the filter.

Troubleshooting

Filter not attaching magnetically

Ensure the magnetic adapter ring is properly screwed onto the lens. Clean both the filter rim and the adapter ring surface to remove any dust or debris that might impede the magnetic connection.

Vignetting in wide-angle shots

The filter may be too thick for your specific wide-angle lens. Try using a lens with a smaller focal length or consider a thinner filter if available. Ensure the adapter ring is seated correctly.

Image appears too dark or too bright despite filter use

Verify that you are using the correct shutter speed for the desired exposure. A 10-stop ND filter is a significant reduction; ensure your camera's metering is accounting for it or use manual mode. Check that the filter is fully seated and not obstructed.

Color cast in images

The 20-layer nano-coating is designed for high color fidelity. If a color cast is observed, ensure the filter is clean. Minor color shifts can typically be corrected in post-processing software. Test without the filter to confirm it is the source.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables creative long exposure photography in bright light.
  • Magnetic system offers very fast filter changes.
  • High-quality glass minimizes image degradation.
  • Durable construction built for field use.
  • Slim profile helps prevent vignetting.

Cons

  • Requires the included magnetic adapter ring to be attached to the lens.
  • 10 stops of reduction is very significant and may be too much for some situations.
  • Magnetic system could potentially be dislodged with a significant impact.
  • Only compatible with lenses that can accommodate the 72mm filter size or with the adapter ring on other sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Screw the included magnetic adapter ring onto your 72mm lens.
  2. Align the filter with the adapter ring and it will magnetically snap into place.

Compatibility:

This 72mm filter is designed for lenses with a 72mm front filter thread. The included magnetic adapter ring is also 72mm, providing a direct magnetic interface. For other lens sizes, separate magnetic adapter rings or traditional screw-on filters would be required. Ensure your lens has sufficient clearance to avoid the filter causing vignetting, especially when using wide-angle lenses.

Care:

  • Clean the filter glass gently with a soft microfiber lens cloth.
  • For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth.
  • Store the filter in its protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
  • Avoid exposing the filter to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
