The Urth 77mm Base Filter Kit Pro is for photographers seeking to enhance image quality and protect their lenses. Its key benefit is the combination of UV protection and CPL glare reduction in a single kit for richer colors and sharper detail. A potential caveat is the need to ensure lens thread compatibility before purchase, as this kit is specific to 77mm lenses. This kit includes a high-transmission UV filter for shatter-proof lens protection and a precision CPL filter for cutting reflections and enhancing color saturation.

The UV Pro filter primarily protects your lens from scratches and impact, while the CPL Pro filter reduces reflections and glare, enhancing color saturation and contrast.
This filter is designed for lenses with a 77mm front filter thread. Check the diameter marking on your lens, usually found around the front element or in the lens manual. It will typically look like a circle with a line through it followed by a number (e.g., ø77mm).
Yes, you can typically stack filters. For example, you could screw the UV Pro onto the lens first, then screw the CPL Pro onto the UV Pro. However, stacking too many filters can increase the risk of vignetting and reduce image quality.
The CPL filter has a rotating ring. Hold the inner part of the filter steady and rotate the outer ring to adjust the degree of polarization and control glare and reflections.
The 34-layer CORANANO MAX Coating enhances light transmission (over 99.13%), reduces reflectivity (under 0.5%), improves contrast, and provides resistance to water, oil, and fingerprints, making the filter easier to clean.
The UV filter is recommended for protection, especially in harsh environments. While it offers some UV light filtering, its primary role in digital photography is as a protective barrier for the lens element.
The UV Pro filter is built with AERO-C10 ionically tempered glass, which is up to 600% stronger than conventional filters, offering significantly enhanced durability and shatter resistance.
Ensure the filter is not too thick for wide-angle lenses. While this kit is designed for standard use, very wide lenses might experience slight vignetting. Consider removing the filter or using a thinner profile filter if this is a consistent issue.
Ensure the CPL filter is rotated to the correct position. The effect of polarization is angle-dependent. Try adjusting the angle of your camera or rotating the filter's front ring until the desired glare reduction is achieved.
Check for dirt or damage on the lens threads or the filter threads. Ensure you are using the correct 77mm filter for your 77mm lens thread. Do not force the filter; if it feels stuck, unscrew it and re-attempt gently.
Setup: Screw the desired filter (UV Pro or CPL Pro) onto the front of your 77mm threaded lens. For the CPL filter, rotate the outer ring to adjust the polarization effect. Ensure the filter is securely attached but do not overtighten.
Compatibility: This kit is specifically designed for lenses with a 77mm front filter thread. Please verify your lens's filter thread size before purchasing. A list of compatible filter sizes can be found in the product description and sibling variants.
Care: Clean the filters regularly using a lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or direct pressure. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used to remove dust before wiping. Store filters in their protective cases when not in use.
