Product Information

Full details

The Urth Magnetic UV Lens Filter Plus+ 49mm is for photographers seeking advanced lens protection and enhanced image quality with a quick-attach system. Its key benefit is providing a resilient barrier against damage and improving color accuracy by cutting UV haze. A potential caveat is the reliance on the magnetic adapter system for the fastest attachment, which may not be compatible with all existing screw-on filter workflows.

FAQs

What does a UV filter do?

A UV filter blocks ultraviolet light, which can cause haze and a bluish cast in photos, especially in bright daylight or at high altitudes. It also serves as a protective layer for your camera lens.

How is the magnetic attachment different from screw-on?

Magnetic attachment uses magnets for a quick click-on and click-off system, speeding up workflow. Screw-on attachment involves threading the filter onto the lens, which is a more traditional and often universally compatible method.

Does this filter affect image quality?

The Urth Magnetic UV Lens Filter Plus+ is designed to enhance image quality by reducing UV haze and color cast, leading to sharper images with more accurate colors. The high-quality SCHOTT glass and nano-coating minimize flare and maintain excellent light transmission.

Can I use this filter on lenses with different thread sizes?

This specific filter is for 49mm lens threads. For other lens sizes, you would need to purchase a different size of the Urth Magnetic UV Lens Filter Plus+ or use compatible step-up rings, though step-up rings may increase the risk of vignetting.

What is included with the filter?

The Urth Magnetic UV Lens Filter Plus+ includes the filter itself and a magnetic adapter ring for easy magnetic attachment to your lens.

Is the filter waterproof?

The filter provides protection against water and stains, meaning it helps repel light moisture. However, it is not designed to be submerged or used as a primary waterproofing solution for your camera.

What does 'Lifetime Quality' mean?

'Lifetime Quality' signifies that the product is built to last and is backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. This reflects Urth's commitment to durability and customer satisfaction.

Troubleshooting

Filter does not attach magnetically

Ensure the magnetic adapter ring is securely screwed onto the lens. Check that the filter's magnetic rim is clean and free of debris. Try re-aligning the filter with the adapter.

Vignetting (dark corners) in photos

Confirm the filter is the correct size for your lens. While designed to be slim, very wide-angle lenses can still exhibit vignetting. Try reducing your focal length or, if possible, use the filter on a less wide lens.

Reduced image sharpness or flare

Ensure both the lens and filter glass are clean. Check that the filter is properly seated. The nano-coating is designed to reduce flare; if excessive flare is present, ensure no strong light sources are directly causing it.

Difficulty screwing filter onto lens

Ensure you are using the correct thread size (49mm) and that the lens threads are clean and undamaged. Start threading gently and avoid forcing it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rapid magnetic attachment speeds up shooting and lens changes.
  • Offers robust protection against physical damage and environmental factors.
  • Improves image clarity by reducing UV haze and color casts.
  • High-quality German SCHOTT glass ensures excellent optical performance.
  • Slim design minimizes the risk of vignetting.
  • Versatile use with both magnetic and screw-on mounting options.

Cons

  • Requires a compatible magnetic adapter ring for magnetic attachment.
  • Can be more expensive than standard screw-on filters.
  • Magnetic system might require careful handling to avoid dislodging.
  • The 49mm size is specific and may not fit all lenses without step-up rings.
  • While durable, specialized filters can still be damaged if dropped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. If using magnetic attachment, first attach the included magnetic adapter ring to your 49mm lens thread. Ensure it is securely screwed in.
  2. Align the filter with the adapter ring and gently push until you feel it click into place.
  3. For screw-on attachment, simply screw the filter onto your 49mm lens thread as you would a standard filter.

Compatibility:

  • This filter is designed for lenses with a 49mm filter thread.
  • For magnetic attachment, the Urth magnetic adapter ring is included. Ensure your lens can accommodate this adapter.
  • The ultra-slim rim is designed to minimize vignetting, but compatibility with extremely wide-angle lenses should always be tested.

Care:

  • Clean the glass using a lens cleaning cloth and a lens cleaning solution. Gently wipe in a circular motion.
  • For the magnetic surfaces, use a dry, soft cloth to remove dust or smudges.
  • Store the filter in its protective case when not in use to prevent damage and keep it clean.
  • Avoid exposing the filter to extreme temperatures or moisture for prolonged periods.
