The Urth 43mm ND64 (6 Stop) Lens Filter Plus+ is designed for photographers and videographers seeking greater control over light in bright conditions. Its primary benefit is enabling creative long exposures and achieving shallow depth of field even in harsh sunlight. A potential caveat is that fixed ND filters do not offer variable light reduction, requiring users to select the appropriate stop for their needs. This filter provides a fixed 6-stop reduction, uses high-quality German SCHOTT glass with 20-layer nano-coating, and features an ultra-slim rim to prevent vignetting. Made from durable magnalium, it's built for longevity.

ND64 indicates that the filter reduces light by 64 times, which corresponds to a 6-stop reduction in exposure. This means you can use a shutter speed 64 times slower or open your aperture 6 stops wider than without the filter.
Yes, you can stack this ND filter with other filters like polarizers or UV filters. However, stacking multiple filters, especially thicker ones, increases the risk of vignetting, particularly on wider lenses.
A 6-stop ND filter is ideal for bright, sunny conditions where you want to achieve long exposures (e.g., blurring water or clouds) or use wide apertures for shallow depth of field. If you primarily shoot in low light, a lower stop ND filter or no ND filter might be more appropriate.
Yes, this filter is highly recommended for videography. It allows you to maintain the optimal 180-degree shutter rule in bright light while still achieving a shallow depth of field, crucial for cinematic visuals.
The 'Plus+' designation typically indicates an upgraded coating or glass quality. In this case, the Plus+ version features 20-layer nano-coating and German SCHOTT glass for superior clarity, durability, and ease of cleaning.
Urth offers a lifetime warranty on their filters, covering manufacturing defects and wear and tear for as long as you own the product.
Always use a clean microfiber lens cloth. Start with a gentle wipe. For tougher spots, use a dedicated lens cleaning solution applied to the cloth, not directly to the glass. Never use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
Ensure you are using the correct filter size for your lens. If vignetting persists, the ultra-slim rim may still interfere with extremely wide-angle lenses; consider a filter designed for ultra-wide applications or a larger filter size if possible.
The 6-stop reduction might be too much for the current lighting conditions. Adjust your shutter speed to be longer or your ISO lower. For very dim conditions, consider a lower stop ND filter or removing the filter.
While this filter is designed for neutral density, recalibrate your camera's white balance or adjust color balance in post-processing. High-quality ND filters minimize color shift, but extreme conditions can sometimes reveal slight variations.
Ensure the threads on both the lens and the filter are clean and free of debris. Do not force the filter; screw it on gently and straight. If it's stuck, try gently twisting in the opposite direction.
Setup:
This filter screws directly onto the front of your 43mm threaded camera lens. Ensure the lens is clean before attaching the filter to avoid trapping dust.
Compatibility:
This filter is specifically designed for lenses with a 43mm filter thread. It is compatible with any camera system (DSLR, mirrorless, compact) that utilizes a 43mm lens thread. Always check your lens's front element or specifications for the correct filter size.
