Urth ND Selects Filter Kit - 58mm

An ND (Neutral Density) filter reduces the amount of light entering the camera lens without altering the color balance. This allows for creative effects like long exposures in bright light or using wider apertures for shallow depth of field.

These numbers refer to the filter's strength, indicating how much light it blocks. ND8 blocks 3 stops of light, ND64 blocks 6 stops, and ND1000 blocks 10 stops. More stops mean more light reduction.

Yes, you can stack these filters. However, stacking multiple filters increases the risk of vignetting, color shift, and reduced image quality. It's generally recommended to use the lowest number of filters necessary for your desired effect.

Use a soft lens brush or blower to remove dust. For smudges, use a microfiber lens cloth. If necessary, use a specialized lens cleaning fluid sparingly on the cloth, and wipe gently from the center outwards. Avoid abrasive materials.

This specific kit is for lenses with a 58mm front filter thread. Check your lens's specifications to confirm its filter size. If your lens has a different size, you may need adapter rings.

German SCHOTT glass is renowned for its high optical quality, clarity, and color neutrality, ensuring that the filters minimally impact the image quality and color rendition of your lens.

The 'Plus+' designation typically refers to Urth's enhanced multi-coating technology, which offers superior performance in terms of anti-reflection, scratch resistance, and color fidelity compared to standard coatings.

Ensure you are using the 58mm filter directly on a 58mm lens. If using lens caps or hoods, remove them. For wider lenses, consider using a thinner filter or a step-up ring to mount a larger filter if the lens allows.

The multi-coated German SCHOTT glass is designed for color neutrality. Ensure the filter is clean. If a slight cast persists, it can often be corrected in post-processing software.

Verify the lens thread size is indeed 58mm. Ensure there are no cross-threads or debris on the lens or filter threads. Screw on gently and straight.

Position the lens to avoid direct light sources hitting the filter at extreme angles. Use a lens hood. The multi-coatings on these filters significantly reduce flare.
