Product Information

Full details

This guide is for photographers seeking to enhance image clarity and protect their lenses. The Urth 105mm Plus+ UV Filter offers superior UV ray cutting for sharper photos and robust lens protection against damage. A minor caveat is that it adds slightly to the overall lens assembly, which might be noticeable on very compact setups. Key features include German SCHOTT glass, a 30-layer nano-coating for optimal light transmission and flare reduction, and a commitment to environmental sustainability through tree planting initiatives.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of a UV filter?

The primary benefit of a UV filter is to cut out ultraviolet light, which can cause haze and a blue cast in photos, especially in bright outdoor conditions. This results in sharper, clearer images with more accurate colors. It also provides protection for your lens.

Is this filter compatible with my lens?

This is the 105mm Plus+ UV Filter, meaning it is designed for lenses with a 105mm front filter thread. You should check your lens's specifications to confirm its filter size.

How does the nano-coating help?

The 30-layer nano-coating minimizes unwanted light reflections, reducing lens flare and ghosting. It also improves light transmission for brighter, cleaner images and makes the filter easier to clean.

What does 'Plus+' signify?

'Plus+' typically indicates an enhanced version of the filter, often featuring improved coatings, better optical quality, or a more robust construction compared to standard models.

How does purchasing this filter help the environment?

Urth partners with organizations to plant trees for every purchase made. By buying this filter, you contribute to Urth's reforestation initiatives.

Can I stack filters with this UV filter?

Yes, you can typically stack other filters (like polarizers or ND filters) on top of this UV filter, as it has threads on the front. However, stacking too many filters can lead to reduced image quality or vignetting on wider lenses.

What is the warranty on this filter?

While specific warranty details are not provided in the product information, Urth generally offers robust warranties on their products. Please refer to Urth's official website or your purchase documentation for exact warranty terms.

Troubleshooting

Filter is difficult to screw on or off

Ensure you are aligning the threads correctly. Do not force the filter; if it feels stuck, check for any debris in the lens threads or on the filter threads. If the issue persists, try a different filter or consult a camera technician.

Reduced image quality or visible glare

Check if the filter is clean. Smudges or dust can degrade image quality. Clean the filter using appropriate lens cleaning solutions and a microfiber cloth. Also, ensure the filter is properly seated and not misaligned.

Vignetting (dark corners) in wide-angle shots

While this is a 105mm filter, very wide-angle lenses can still experience vignetting. Ensure the filter is not excessively thick if used on ultra-wide lenses, though 105mm is typically outside the range where this is a common issue for standard lenses.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improves image sharpness and color fidelity by cutting UV light.
  • Provides robust physical protection for your camera lens.
  • Made with high-quality German SCHOTT glass for excellent optical clarity.
  • Advanced nano-coating reduces unwanted flare and ghosting.
  • Supports environmental reforestation efforts.

Cons

  • Slightly increases the physical size of the lens assembly.
  • Requires careful cleaning to maintain optical performance.
  • 105mm size is specific and may not fit all lenses without an adapter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Screw the Urth 105mm Plus+ UV Filter directly onto the front filter thread of your 105mm lens. Ensure it is hand-tightened; do not overtighten. Remove by unscrewing gently in the opposite direction.

Compatibility: This filter is designed for lenses with a 105mm front filter diameter. It is compatible with a wide range of camera bodies and lens types that feature this specific thread size. Check your lens specifications for the correct filter thread size.

Care: To maintain optical clarity:

  1. Gently brush off loose dust and debris using a soft lens brush or canned air.
  2. For smudges or fingerprints, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optical glass. Apply a small amount to a microfiber cleaning cloth.
  3. Wipe the filter gently in a circular motion, starting from the center and moving outwards.
  4. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, which can damage the coatings.
