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.

What sets the NiSi Explorer Collection 150x150mm Nano IR ND64 (1.8) 6-Stop Neutral Density Filter apart is its exceptional resilience and optical precision, designed to meet the demands of adventurous photographers who require durability without compromising on image quality. This robust filter is a product of an advanced glass hardening process, resulting in a strength that is twice that of standard glass filters, significantly reducing the risk of accidental damage during rigorous use.

Crafted from premium B270 tempered glass, the Explorer Collection filter boasts a Nano coating technology that enhances light transmission while protecting against infrared light contamination. This ensures that your photographs maintain true-to-life colors without the unwanted red hues that can occur when shooting with smaller apertures. The Nano IR coating is a testament to NiSi's commitment to producing filters that deliver the highest level of color accuracy and clarity.

The 6-stop ND64 filter is a versatile tool for photographers aiming to achieve motion blur effects in bright lighting conditions. It allows for the use of wider apertures and slower shutter speeds, enabling creative control over depth of field and the conveyance of movement in subjects such as waterfalls, ocean waves, and bustling city scenes. Whether capturing the serene flow of water or the dynamic textures of clouds during the golden hour, this filter provides the necessary light reduction to realize your creative vision.

Compatible with the NiSi 150mm filter system, this 150x150mm square filter is not only effective but also reliable. It is an ideal choice for photographers who prioritize high-quality construction and optical excellence. The Explorer Collection ND filter is a testament to NiSi's dedication to providing photographers with tools that enhance their craft while withstanding the elements of nature and the rigors of outdoor photography.
