DESCRIPTION

With less light entering your camera, you can also use wider apertures in low light for a beautiful shallower depth of field effect without overexposing images. Cinematographers can use our ND8 Filter Plus+ to create more cinematic effects in low light without losing quality or overexposing the shot.

Our Plus+ range features 20 layers of nano-coating providing easier cleaning and better protection against water, oil, and scratches. These layers also provide a higher maximum light transmission and a more consistent transmission curve for truer light reduction.

How to Use

ND8 (3 Stop) Filter Plus+

1/5

Find your filter size
Inquisitively search lens for diameter symbol. Ø often marks the spot. The diameter you seek may be accompanied by a number – Ø58 or Ø58mm. Look to the side and the front – this precious number is your filter size. Be warned: your lens focal length (e.g. 18-55mm) is not your filter size.

2/5

Place flat and screw clockwise
Lovingly behold lens in one hand and place flat on lens. Gently screw clockwise until just firm. Do not over-tighten that which goes on must one day come off.

3/5

Slow your shutter
The 3 f-stop darkening of your images allows you to slow your shutter speed for motion blur effects.
ND8 (3 Stop) Filter Plus+

4/5

Open your aperture
Or, you can adjust for the 3 f-stop darkening by opening up your aperture, which creates a shallower depth of field. You can also combine both exposure setting adjustments.

5/5

Get more cinematic
Use our ND8 to create more cinematic effects when filming. By blocking 3 f-stops of light, you can open your aperture for a shallower depth of field, creating stunning cinematic effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which ND filter should I buy?

The best ND filter for your photography will depend on the effects you want to achieve.

The first choice you need to make it whether to go for a Fixed ND Filter or a Variable ND Filter. A variable ND filter offers more options, which is great if you’re shooting in changing light conditions, or just starting out with ND filters. A fixed ND provides a specific light reduction and works better with telephoto and wide-angle lenses. The next choice you need to make is the level of light reduction you want. The higher the ND number, the more light it blocks from reaching your camera sensor.

Should I buy a fixed or variable ND filter?

It depends on how, where and what you’ll be shooting.

Fixed ND filters block a fixed f-stop of light from entering your camera. Variable ND filters provide more flexibility and have a range of f-stops you can block by rotating the outer element. If you’re starting out with ND filters, we recommend a Variable ND so you have more flexibility while you’re learning how to shoot with an ND. If the light is likely to change often, a Variable ND saves you changing between fixed NDs each time.

Do I need to get an ND if I already have a CPL?

Yes, if you want more than a 2 f-stop reduction of light.

While CPL filters polarize light to remove reflections and increase colour saturation, ND filters reduce the amount of light that makes it through to your camera’s sensor, which opens up opportunities to experiment with depth of field and motion blur effects even in bright light.

What are the best ND filters for wide-angle and telephoto lenses?

Our whole range of Fixed ND Filters work with wide-angle and telephoto lenses.

Our ND filters have ultra-slim rims to avoid any vignetting issues. Our Fixed ND Filters are all in our professional Plus+ range and use the world’s best glass, making them perfect for wide-angle and telephoto lenses.

What do the ND Filter numbers mean?

The higher the number, the more light it blocks from entering your camera.

The 4 of our ND4 Filter Plus+ refers to the amount of light blocked. An ND2 reduces light transmittance to a quarter. An ND8 reduces it to an eighth, an ND1000 reduces it to 1/1000th.

"Impeccably made ND filter, stunning packaging and obviously high quality threads. Do yourself a favour." Mike bought out ND8 Plus+.

Very good filter

It was the only one I found for 39mm. I am glad someone is making a large range of sizes.

ND8 (3 Stops) Venice to Bangkok

This is a big piece of glass trusted to Canon’s 28/70 F2L and it’s faultless : it arrived 21 days ago and has been to Venice and presently Bangkok. Small but significant plus points … it arrives in a round screw top tin and not a square plastic box which falls open and shatters, it arrived so fast (London) I was sure Urth must be using extra sensory perception : and third, it’s a beautifully engineered filter.
