Amazing glads

Amazing piece of glass and it helps tremendously in bright light conditions to cut down on the light and from blowing out the image.

Great results

Works very well for my Tamron 15-30. Although it does have a very slight color shift it is much less than that of other brands, and easily correctable in post. The 6 stop is the perfect nd filter for landscape photography. I’ve used it now for 2 outings for waterfalls, ocean waves, car headlights, etc and I’ve loved the results so far. Glass seems like very good quality and fits perfectly with the NISI filter system.

Glad I switched.

I recently switched from Lee to NiSi filters and I am glad I did. The optical clarity of the NiSi glass filters is top notch. The ND 64 performs beautifully when used with the NiSi filter holder.

Great filters for serious amateurs starting out with long exposure photography

I purchased the 6-stop ND, 10-stop ND, and 3-stop soft GND on sale for $100 each to use with the Nisi V5 Pro. The filters come with a nice padded pouch that protects the filters well. The foam lining on the ND filters is a nice touch that minimizes light leak. The soft GND filter has a very gradual transition, so the medium GND might be a better choice for harsher transitions. Optically, the filters perform extremely well and I cannot discern any decrease in sharpness at 100% zoom on a 24MP, full-frame sensor. The filters are fairly color neutral and only exhibit a minimal magenta cast that is easily corrected in post-processing. I did notice that the shape of sunstars was somewhat affected by the filters, and flaring was more pronounced with more filters. Overall I am extremely pleased with these filters.

Solid Filter

I've only had it for a few weeks but it works well. Filters come in a soft pouch to keep them protected. I found that stacking the 3 stop and 6 stop creates weird noise and a bit of hazing on both my monitor and EVF even at low ISO but the images seem sharp and don't have the display noise that I mentioned. Overall very nice filters. I would buy them again.

Excellent value and quality for the money.

Be prepared for any photographic adventure with the NiSi Explorer Collection 150x150mm Nano IR ND8 (0.9) 3-Stop Neutral Density Filter. This high-quality filter is a part of our 150mm Explorer Series, specifically designed for the active and adventurous photographers.

Constructed with a unique glass hardening process, this filter boasts double the strength of standard optical glass filters, making it less susceptible to accidental breakage. However, it's important to note that while it's more durable, it's not unbreakable, and its hardening may decline over time.

Neutral Density (ND) filters, like this one, are designed to uniformly reduce the amount of light entering your lens. This allows for greater motion blurring and enhanced image detail by enabling the use of a larger aperture and slower shutter speed. This ND8 3-Stop filter is particularly effective for capturing dynamic waterfalls and water flow at shutter speeds ranging from 0.5 to 2 seconds.

One of the key benefits of NiSi ND filters is their ability to maintain true-to-life coloration in your images. They are crafted from high-quality optical glass (not resin) and feature a nano coating to ensure no detail is lost.

In addition, this filter has an infrared protection coating layer. This is crucial as cameras using neutral density filters can be vulnerable to infrared light, which can cast an unwanted red hue to your photos when shooting at a small aperture. The infrared protection coating eliminates this light, ensuring the natural, true-to-life colors of your scene are preserved.

The NiSi Explorer Collection is made from B270 tempered glass and undergoes the same Nano coating process as our optical glass filters. This 150x150mm filter is compatible with the NiSi 150mm filter system, making it a versatile addition to your camera kit. It's suitable for cameras with lenses that have a standard filter thread from 49mm to 95mm.

In summary, the NiSi Explorer Collection 150x150mm Nano IR ND8 (0.9) 3-Stop Neutral Density Filter is a robust, high-quality tool for photographers seeking to enhance their image quality and capture the world in its true colors.
