Variable ND Filters Plus+ - 49mm / ND2-32 (1-5 Stop), 72mm / ND2-32 (1-5 Stop)
Our Review
Urth Variable ND Filters Plus+ (49mm/72mm, ND2-32 combo) — matched light control across two lens sizes
The gist: Unlike Urth's mixed-range combo packs, this one puts the same ND2-32 (1-5 stop) range on both a 49mm and a 72mm thread — ideal if you shoot two lenses in similar lighting conditions and want consistent results between them.
- Matched range, two sizes: Both filters cover 1-5 stops, so footage from your smaller lens and your wider 72mm lens grades the same without guessing at stop differences.
- German Schott B270 glass: The optical glass used across Urth's Plus+ range, built for clarity over the muddier image some budget variable NDs produce.
- 20-layer nano coating: Repels water, oil, and dust — practical for coastal or jungle travel shoots where lens grime builds up fast.
- Everyday-light range: 1-5 stops suits overcast skies, shaded streets, and golden hour rather than blasting midday sun.
Amateur Photographer's review of Urth's Variable ND Plus+ line found it "maintains detail levels well" against unfiltered shots, while flagging that variable NDs can show polarization banding at their extremes — a known trait of this filter type, not a defect unique to Urth.
Best for: Travel shooters running two lens sizes who want matched, moderate light control rather than harsh-midday-sun coverage. Skip it if: you regularly shoot in bright midday sun — you'll want the ND8-128 range instead. Runs around $94 — check the current price before buying.
