The Urth Variable ND2-32 Filter Pro (58mm) is designed for photographers and videographers seeking precise control over light in bright conditions. Its key benefit is the smooth 1-5 stop adjustment for achieving cinematic motion blur and shallow depth of field. A potential caveat is the learning curve for optimal adjustment without unwanted artifacts like X-patterns.

The Urth Variable ND2-32 Filter Pro offers a range of 1 to 5 stops of light reduction (ND2 to ND32).
Yes, the filter is designed for both still photography and video applications, offering precise light control for creative effects in both.
The X-pattern typically appears at the extreme ends of the filter's adjustment range. The Urth Variable ND2-32 Pro features a hard-stop design to help prevent over-rotation, but it's best to stay within the marked operational range (usually 1-5 stops) and avoid pushing it to its absolute limits.
The filter features an ultra-slim aerospace-grade aluminum frame designed to minimize or prevent vignetting, even on wider focal length lenses. However, extreme wide-angle lenses may still exhibit slight vignetting at certain apertures.
The filter is made with high-quality SCHOTT B270 glass, known for its clarity and true color transmission.
Use a lens blower to remove dust. For fingerprints or smudges, gently wipe with a clean microfiber lens cloth, applying lens cleaning solution to the cloth, not directly to the filter.
This usually occurs when the variable ND is pushed too far towards its maximum or minimum settings. Rotate the filter ring back towards the middle range (around 2-3 stops) to eliminate the X-pattern.
Ensure the filter is clean and the outer ring is set precisely within its operational range. Try cleaning the glass with a microfiber cloth. The SCHOTT B270 glass and true color fidelity coating minimize this, but extreme settings might show a slight shift.
Check that you are using the correct filter size (58mm) and that the lens threads are clean. Gently try to thread the filter on, ensuring it's not cross-threading. Do not force it.
Setup: Simply screw the Urth Variable ND2-32 Filter Pro onto the front of your 58mm lens. Ensure it is threaded on securely but do not overtighten. Adjust the light reduction by rotating the outer ring of the filter until the desired stop value (marked on the filter) is reached.
Compatibility: This filter is designed for lenses with a 58mm front filter thread. It is compatible with both still photography and video cameras.
Care: To maintain optical clarity, clean the filter regularly. Use a lens blower to remove loose dust and debris. For smudges or fingerprints, use a microfiber lens cloth, preferably with a lens cleaning solution applied sparingly to the cloth, not directly to the filter. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
