FAQs

What material are the Urth Lens Filter Caps made of?

The caps are made of hardened magnalium, an alloy of magnesium and aluminum, known for its durability and light weight.

How do I know if these caps will fit my filter?

These caps are specifically designed for 39mm screw-on filters. You should verify that your lens filter has an outer thread diameter of 39mm.

Can these caps protect my lens from impact?

The caps offer protection against scratches, dust, and minor abrasions to the filter's surface. They are not designed to protect the lens or filter from significant impact damage.

Are these caps suitable for all types of filters?

No, these caps are exclusively for 39mm screw-on filters. They will not fit slip-on filters, variable ND filters that don't have external threads, or filters of different sizes.

How do they save space compared to other solutions?

Their compact, direct-fit design means they don't add extra bulk like pouches or larger cases, allowing more protected filters to be stored within a smaller area in your camera bag.

What is the benefit of a screw-on attachment?

A screw-on attachment provides a more secure fit compared to friction-fit caps, reducing the likelihood of the cap accidentally coming off and leaving the filter exposed.

Troubleshooting

Cap is difficult to screw on.

Ensure you are aligning the threads correctly. Try backing it off slightly and re-aligning before continuing to screw clockwise. Do not force the cap.

Cap feels loose after attachment.

Remove the cap and re-attach, ensuring it's screwed in fully until snug. Verify that the filter size is indeed 39mm and that the filter's threads are clean and undamaged.

Scratches appear on the cap.

Minor cosmetic scratches may occur with normal use due to the metal construction. Clean with a microfiber cloth. For significant damage, consider replacement if optical clarity is compromised or functionality is affected.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and protective construction.
  • Secure screw-on mechanism prevents loss.
  • Compact and space-efficient for travel.
  • Protects against common damage like scratches and dust.

Cons

  • Specific 39mm size limits compatibility.
  • May require careful handling to avoid cross-threading.
  • Does not offer impact protection beyond the filter's surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

To attach the Urth Lens Filter Cap, align the threads of the cap with the threads on the outer edge of your 39mm screw-on filter. Gently rotate the cap clockwise until it is securely fastened. To remove, rotate the cap counter-clockwise.

Compatibility:

These filter caps are specifically designed for Urth and other brands of 39mm screw-on lens filters. Ensure your filters have an outer thread diameter of 39mm for a proper fit. They are not compatible with lens caps that attach to the front of the lens itself or with filters of different sizes.

Care:

To clean the filter caps, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the magnalium alloy finish.
