Questions & Answers

FAQ

What is the main purpose of the NiSi 180x210mm 3 Stop Hard Graduated Neutral Density Filter?

The primary purpose of this filter is to reduce the amount of light entering the camera lens, which allows for a wider aperture and slower shutter speed while maintaining correct exposure. It's particularly useful in landscape and architectural photography to balance the exposure between the bright sky and the darker foreground or background.

What is the benefit of the hard gradation in this NiSi filter?

The hard gradation provides a more defined transition between the dark and light areas of an image. It's especially effective for scenes with level or unbroken horizons, such as coastlines, where the transition from dark to light is more pronounced.

What is NiSi's NANO Coating technology and how does it enhance the filter's performance?

NiSi's NANO Coating technology is a multi-layer coating that reduces reflections on the filter's surface, helping to prevent ghosting and flare in your images. It also includes a protective layer that repels water, dust, and oil, making it easy to clean the filter without worrying about scratching the glass.

Is the NiSi 180x210mm 3 Stop Hard Graduated Neutral Density Filter compatible with all camera lenses?

This filter is designed to fit NiSi 180mm filter holders. It's compatible with a wide range of lenses that can accommodate this filter size.

Does the NiSi filter affect the color or sharpness of the images?

No, the NiSi filter preserves the color integrity and sharpness of the images. The NANO Coating process ensures there is no color shift or loss in image sharpness, maintaining the quality of your photographs.

Professional quality filters

I have used high quality, professional level filters for over 20 years. I recently switched equipment that required much larger filters. I went with Nisi due to the versatility of the system. I am very impressed with the quality of the glass they use. when you put additional glass in front of your lens, you need it to be perfect. My impression is that Nisi filters are top of the line.
