Variable ND Filters Plus+ - 49mm / ND2-32 (1-5 Stop), 72mm / ND2-32 (1-5 Stop)

$94
Urth Variable Neutral Density Filters (VND Filters) block out 1 to 5 f-stops or 3 to 7 f-stops of light so you can use wider apertures in low variable light for shallower depth of field effects, and slower shutter speeds for long exposure effects without overexposing your images. Videographers can use our ND2-32 and ND8-128 Variable ND Filter Plus+ to create more cinematic effects in bright and changing light. The 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.

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.
