Urth 72mm ND8 (3 Stop) Lens Filter (Plus+)

Urth 72mm ND8 (3 Stop) Lens Filter (Plus+): Control motion in bright scenes

A fixed three-stop reduction is the appeal of the Urth 72mm ND8 (3 Stop) Lens Filter (Plus+): it cuts the light reaching your camera to one eighth, with no variable adjustment to change between frames. Landscape photographers and video makers get a straightforward way to manage exposure in bright conditions while keeping a chosen aperture or shutter speed. Use it to extend exposures for movement in water, retain a wider aperture for a shallow-focus portrait in daylight, or slow the shutter for motion in video without overexposing the scene. The 20-layer nano-coating adds protection against water, oil and scratches, and is intended to make cleaning simpler. That combination of fixed density and protective coating makes this a focused filter for deliberate exposure choices. Its 72mm screw thread is the fit detail to check against the filter thread on your lens.

On the lens

• Fixed ND8 density: The filter reduces light by three stops, leaving 12.5% to reach the camera. That consistent cut is useful when you want to lengthen an exposure or keep motion blur under control in video.
• 20-layer nano-coating: The coating helps repel water and oil and guards the glass against scratches. It also makes the surface simpler to clean after use outdoors.
• Consistent transmission: Urth specifies a consistent transmission curve, supporting even, predictable light reduction across your image rather than an adjustable density.
• Ultraslim rim: The narrow frame is intended to prevent vignetting, so the filter is less likely to darken the corners of your image.

Size and fit

The filter has a 72mm screw thread, for lenses with a matching filter thread. Its double-threaded design means you can screw a filter onto its front to stack filters, or attach a screw-in lens cap. The thin rim is also part of the fit design, with vignetting prevention in mind. Check the filter-thread marking on your lens before choosing this size.
