Rated 5 out of 5

Exceptional filter!

I have always been a big fan of NISI filters and they are always in my pack on international trips. What I like most about this item is you get 5 filters in one with no X'ing in the frame at no point in the rotation. This filter is very smooth to turn and easy to grip when installing or removing. The glass is very clear with no color issues and is amazing for sunny days or extending exposures at sunset. If you are in the market for a cost friendly variable ND filter look no further. You found it!!!

A perfect ND filter, does exactly what you need.

Works perfectly, I never even feel a need to take it off my lens. I don't notice any issues with color or image clarity and shooting outdoors is a breeze. I do wish there was a way to lock it where you set it, but that isn't enough of a critique to take a star off for me.

Great filters

I know these filters are geared towards video but I love capturing Motion with my stills. This filter allows me 1-5 stops extra and so far quality looks great. No ?x? effect.

Become a master of light manipulation with the NiSi True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano 1-5 Stops Variable ND Filter. Specifically engineered for lenses with 55mm front filter threads, this high-quality filter offers an exposure reduction range of 1 to 5 stops. Its 0.3 to 1.5 density provides a comprehensive darkening of the image, enabling the use of wider apertures or slower shutter speeds, thus expanding your creative possibilities.

The NiSi True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano Filter's variable density is effortlessly controlled by rotating the front filter ring, with or without the included silver lever. This feature allows photographers and videographers to precisely adjust the exposure length to perfectly match any given scene. The smooth transition of density ensures a seamless blend of light and shadow in your images.

For enhanced usability, the front ring is marked with numbers representing the different stop values. This allows for repeatable control over density settings, making it an indispensable tool for professionals. The ring also boasts silver side knurlings, providing a secure grip and facilitating easy installation and removal.

This versatile filter is an excellent choice for cinema or video camera users. The combined adjustments of aperture and this filter enable fine-tuning of the depth of field while maintaining the designated frame rate. The True Color technology ensures that there is no color shift, a common issue with other variable filters.

Constructed from high-definition optical glass, the NiSi True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano 1-5 Stops Variable ND Filter guarantees superior resolution and quality in every shot. The glass is treated with NiSi's Nano coating, which provides a waterproof, oil-proof, and anti-reflective surface, effectively preventing ghosting and reflections.

The filter ring is crafted from high-quality aluminum, resulting in a lightweight yet robust filter. This filter is optimized for focal lengths of 35mm and longer within the variable ND range. Please note that the front filter thread of this filter measures 58mm, a design choice made to prevent vignetting on wider lenses.

NiSi True Color ND-VARIO Pro Features

  • Variable Neutral Density Filter Offering Greater Control Over Exposure Settings, Allows Reduce Shutter Speeds and Wider Apertures
  • True Color result that avoids color shift seen in other Variable filters
  • Variable 0.3 to 1.5 Neutral Density
  • Reduces Exposure by 1 to 5 Stops
  • Exposure Range-Control Filter Ring with Hard Stops at Each End

  • High Definition optical glass
  • Nano Coating, Waterproof and Anti-Reflective Coating
