Product Information

Full details

The Urth 39mm ND64-1000 Variable ND Lens Filter (Plus+) is designed for photographers and videographers who need precise control over exposure in dynamic lighting conditions. Its primary benefit is enabling creative effects like motion blur and shallow depth of field by reducing light by 6 to 10 stops. A potential caveat is the possibility of an 'X-effect' (color cast or vignetting) when used with wider lenses above f/9.

FAQs

What does ND64-1000 mean?

ND64-1000 refers to the filter's light reduction capability. ND64 represents 6 stops of light reduction, and ND1000 represents 10 stops. The 'variable' aspect means it can be adjusted anywhere within this range.

What is the 'X-effect'?

The 'X-effect' is an undesirable darkening or color cast that can appear in the center of an image, often when using variable ND filters with extremely wide-angle lenses at certain settings.

How do I clean the filter?

Use a soft lens brush to remove loose dust. Then, use a lens cleaning solution and a microfiber lens cloth to gently wipe the glass. Avoid using abrasive materials or excessive pressure.

Is this filter suitable for astrophotography?

While it reduces light, variable ND filters are generally not ideal for astrophotography due to potential image degradation and color shifts at extreme settings. Dedicated filters are usually preferred for this purpose.

What is the warranty on this filter?

Urth filters come with a lifetime quality guarantee.

Can I use this filter for long exposure noise reduction?

Yes, this filter is excellent for long exposures, allowing you to use slower shutter speeds in bright conditions to achieve desired motion blur effects.

How do I know if this filter fits my lens?

Check the number printed on the front of your lens, usually near the focal length (e.g., 'ø 39mm'). This number indicates the filter thread size.

Troubleshooting

Color cast or 'X-effect' appears in the image

This can occur with wider lenses above f/9. Try adjusting the filter to a lower stop setting or using a different lens. Ensure the filter rings are properly aligned.

Filter is difficult to screw onto the lens

Check that you are using the correct filter size for your lens. Ensure the lens threads are clean and free of debris. Do not force the filter; it should screw on smoothly.

Struggling to achieve desired exposure

Ensure the filter is set to the correct stop range. Remember that the effective stop reduction can vary slightly based on lens and lighting conditions. Adjust your camera's ISO and aperture accordingly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a wide range of light control (6-10 stops) in a single filter.
  • Uses high-quality German SCHOTT glass for excellent optical performance and color accuracy.
  • Precise adjustment with marked F-stops and a locking mechanism.
  • Enables creative photographic techniques like motion blur.
  • Slim design reduces the likelihood of vignetting.

Cons

  • Potential for an 'X-effect' (color cast or vignetting) with wider lenses above f/9.
  • Variable ND filters can sometimes exhibit color shifts at extreme settings.
  • Requires careful handling to maintain the nano-coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Screw the filter onto the front of your camera lens. Ensure it is aligned correctly with the lens threads. To adjust the ND strength, rotate the outer ring of the filter until the desired stop range (6-10 stops) is indicated on the marked rim. For precise adjustment, use the min-max locking mechanism.

Compatibility: This filter is designed for 39mm lens threads. Please verify your lens's front thread size before purchasing. While designed for wide-angle lenses, be aware of potential 'X-effect' issues when using focal lengths that result in apertures wider than f/9.

Care: Clean the filter regularly using a lens cleaning cloth and a lens cleaning solution. Avoid touching the glass surface with your fingers. The 20-layer nano-coating aids in repelling dust and water, making cleaning easier.
