Urth 72mm Hard Graduated ND8 Lens Filter (Plus+)

The Urth 72mm Hard Graduated ND8 Lens Filter (Plus+) in Detailed Review

Discover the remarkable and significant features of Urth's 72mm Hard Graduated ND8 lens filter (Plus+). Notable for its dependable 3 f-stop light reduction, it helps achieve a balanced and improved dynamic range when faced with hard-gradual illumination scenarios. Its unique design works by holding back 3 stops of light in half of the scene, providing an ideal solution when foregrounds are darker than backgrounds - a characteristic often seen in mountainous landscapes. Besides, it incorporates a discrete graduation, ensuring a seamless light blend.

The Urth Plus+ series is exemplary due to its 20-tier nano-coating. This feature is instrumental in facilitating easier cleaning and offering heightened guard against water, oil, and scratches. Moreover, these protective layers enable boosted maximum light transmission and a more stable transmission curve, securing more faithful light reduction.

For best results, we advise using the Hard Graduated ND8 Plus+ with 35mm or longer focal length lenses. For wide-angle lens users, we recommend the Soft Graduated ND8 Filter Plus+, promising a more organic light-diffusing effect.

The high-quality lens filter boasts the utilization of leading German B270 SCHOTT optical glass protected by 20 layers of nano-coating. This delivers superior light transmission, enhanced guard, and more straightforward cleaning. Its ultra-slim edge is specially fabricated to skirt any vignetting, and the robust Magnalium frame promises longevity.

It also features a dual-thread design, allowing filter stacking or attaching screw-on lens caps.
