A very good filter

I'm using this with the Nisi holder system for the Sigma 14-24 on Sony A7RV and A7IV bodies. So far, I'm happy with the whole system.Optically, the grad gray is quite good, it's neutral in color, and the 3 stop gnd8 is right on for most of the landscape work I do.

Well done! Filter feels a bit sturdier than glass but works just as good. I'll get more.

NiSi Filters Are Amazing with the GFX 50s

I am super excited with the NiSi filters. I have used Lee filters for years, but really wanted better resolution and I definitely get that with these filters. I shoot primarily with a Fuji GFX 50s and so far the results with these filters are worth the price. They are not cheap, but the quality is definitely noticeable. Attached is the first image I took using the 10 stop ND. It performed amazing with giving me a little motion in the clouds. Can't wait to use these filters more!

NiSi Graduated Filter

By Michael G.

Great filter at a reasonable price.

A top-tier choice for avid photographers, the NiSi Explorer Collection 150x170mm Nano IR Medium Graduated Neutral Density Filter - GND8 (0.9) - 3 Stop is a robust and versatile addition to any photography kit. Designed with the adventurous photographer in mind, this filter is part of our esteemed Explorer Series, renowned for its exceptional durability and resilience.

Crafted through a unique glass hardening process, this filter boasts double the strength of conventional glass filters, making it less susceptible to accidental damage. However, its robustness doesn't compromise its optical performance. This rectangular filter is expertly designed to selectively darken specific areas of an image, such as overly bright skies, while maintaining a natural, unaffected exposure in the remaining regions of the image.

The NiSi Explorer Collection 150x170mm Nano IR Medium Graduated Neutral Density Filter features a gradient that is densest at the edge and gradually clears towards the middle. This medium-edged line of transition, which is 40% smaller than a Soft GND, is ideal for capturing images with elements like buildings or small mountains extending into the skyline. It's particularly effective for sunrise and sunset photography, where the light conditions can be challenging.

Constructed from premium optical glass with a nano coating, this filter ensures no detail is lost from your images. It maintains true-to-life colors, as it doesn't affect the overall coloration of the image. Furthermore, it includes an infrared protection coating layer to eliminate any infrared light that could cast an unwanted red hue to your photos when shooting at small apertures.

The NiSi Explorer Collection 150x170mm Nano IR Medium Graduated Neutral Density Filter is made from B270 tempered glass and features the same Nano coating process as our optical glass filters. Over time, the hardening process may decline, but the filter's overall durability remains superior. This 150x150mm filter is fully compatible with the NiSi 150mm filter system, making it a versatile and valuable addition to your photography equipment.
