Product Information

Full details

The Urth 95mm ND16 (4 Stop) Lens Filter Plus+ is designed for photographers and videographers seeking greater control over light in bright conditions. It allows for extended exposures to capture motion blur and shallow depth of field effects, even in daylight. A potential caveat is its fixed 4-stop reduction, which may be too much for very low light scenarios. Key features include German SCHOTT optical glass, a 20-layer nano-coating, an ultra-slim rim, and durable magnalium construction.

FAQs

What does ND16 mean?

ND16 signifies a Neutral Density filter that reduces the amount of light entering the lens by 16 times, which is equivalent to a 4-stop reduction in exposure.

Can I stack this filter with other filters?

Yes, you can stack the Urth ND16 filter with other filters like polarizers or graduated ND filters. However, stacking multiple filters, especially thicker ones, can increase the risk of vignetting, particularly on wide-angle lenses.

Will this filter affect autofocus performance?

In most conditions, autofocus performance should not be significantly impacted. However, in very low light conditions where the filter severely reduces available light, autofocus might become slower or less reliable.

Is this filter suitable for video recording?

Absolutely. This filter is excellent for videography as it allows you to maintain proper shutter speeds for cinematic motion blur in bright conditions, preventing overexposure.

How does the 4-stop reduction help with depth of field?

By reducing the amount of light by 4 stops, the filter allows you to use wider apertures (e.g., f/1.8, f/2.8) in bright daylight while still achieving a correct exposure. This results in a shallower depth of field for background blur.

What is the warranty on this filter?

The Urth ND16 Lens Filter Plus+ is backed by Urth's Lifetime Quality guarantee, ensuring its durability and performance.

Troubleshooting

Vignetting or dark corners in images

Ensure the filter is the correct size for your lens. While the ultra-slim rim minimizes this, very wide-angle lenses might still exhibit slight vignetting. Try slightly zooming in or remove the lens hood if it's causing the issue.

Color cast in photos

The German SCHOTT optical glass is designed for neutrality. If a color cast is present, check your camera's white balance settings or ensure the filter is clean and free from smudges that might affect light transmission.

Difficulty screwing filter onto lens

Verify that you are using a 95mm filter on a 95mm threaded lens. Ensure the threads on both the lens and the filter are clean and free from debris. Do not force the filter; if it's still difficult, check for cross-threading or damage to the lens threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables creative effects like motion blur and shallow depth of field in daylight.
  • High-quality German SCHOTT glass ensures excellent image clarity and color fidelity.
  • Durable construction with a slim rim design to prevent vignetting.
  • Advanced nano-coating reduces reflections and enhances transmission.
  • Backed by a lifetime quality guarantee for long-term assurance.

Cons

  • Fixed 4-stop reduction is not suitable for all lighting conditions; may be too dark for very low light.
  • As a fixed ND filter, it offers less flexibility than variable ND filters.
  • Requires specific lens thread size (95mm); check compatibility before purchase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Screw the Urth 95mm ND16 Lens Filter Plus+ onto the front of your 95mm threaded lens. Ensure it is screwed on firmly but not overtightened to prevent damage.

Compatibility: This filter is specifically designed for lenses with a 95mm front filter thread. Please verify your lens's filter thread size before purchasing. It is compatible with both DSLR and mirrorless camera systems.

Care:

  1. Clean the filter regularly using a soft lens brush to remove dust and debris.
  2. For smudges or fingerprints, use a microfiber lens cloth, gently wiping in a circular motion from the center outwards.
  3. For stubborn marks, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth, not directly on the glass.
  4. Store the filter in its protective case when not in use to prevent scratches.
