At a glance: A rotating variable ND filter for 58mm lens threads, covering roughly 1 to 8.6 stops, for motion blur and wide apertures in bright light.
About this accessory
This 58mm variable ND from Urth covers ND2 to ND400, or roughly 1 to 8.6 stops, on a single rotating ring. Japanese AGC optical glass and a multi-layer coating sit in a slim aluminium frame made for 58mm lens threads.
One filter gives you repeatable control: turn the ring to set the strength, then read the result on screen. Urth does not recommend it for wide-angle or telephoto lenses, which is worth knowing before you buy.

Works with
- Lenses with a 58mm filter thread
Best for
Best for silky waterfalls and rivers, moving clouds and crowds, and for video shooters keeping a 180-degree shutter in bright light. It suits standard-length lenses with a 58mm thread. Check the ø mark on your lens to confirm the 58mm thread first.
Frequently asked questions
Will the 58mm Variable ND Filter fit my lens?
It suits lenses with a 58mm filter thread, regardless of brand. Check the ø figure marked on the front of your lens or on its cap. A lens marked ø58 takes this filter directly, and the lens manual lists the thread size too.
What does 1 to 8.6 stops mean?
Each stop halves the light. At its lightest setting (ND2) it cuts one stop, and at its darkest (ND400) about 8.6 stops, so you can lengthen a shutter speed several hundred times over.
Can I use a variable ND on a wide-angle or telephoto lens?
Urth advises against using this filter on very wide-angle or telephoto lenses. It is best used on lenses of standard focal lengths.
Can one 58mm filter be shared between lenses?
Yes. Step-up rings let a 58mm filter fit lenses with smaller threads, so one filter can cover several lenses. Watch for vignetting with wide-angle lenses when a ring is fitted.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
