NiSi Cine Drop-In Filter ND32/Polarizer

NiSi Cine Drop-In Filter ND32/Polarizer – 5-stop ND and polarizer for NiSi ATHENA lenses

The NiSi Cine Drop-In Filter ND32/Polarizer combines a 5-stop neutral density filter with a polariser, specifically made to fit NiSi ATHENA full-frame prime lenses that include a drop-in filter slot. It darkens the image by five stops, which lets you use slower shutter speeds and wider apertures for cinematic motion blur and shallow depth of field.

Control exposure and reflections

Use the ND32 portion to reduce light intake by five stops. As a result, you can lower shutter speed to capture motion blur or open the aperture to isolate subjects with pleasing background blur. At the same time, the polariser reduces reflections and glare caused by light polarized from non-metallic surfaces, such as water, glass, foliage, or wet pavement.

True-to-life colour and optical quality

NiSi built this drop-in filter from high-quality optical glass and treated it with NiSi Optical Nano Coating technology. Therefore, you keep full-spectrum neutrality across your images so colours remain authentic and free from unwanted colour casts. In short, you retain clarity and colour fidelity while controlling exposure and reflections.

Durable construction and practical transport

The filter sits in a lightweight yet robust aluminum frame that withstands field use while keeping weight low. Moreover, NiSi includes a carry case for safe and easy transport, so you can bring the filter to shoots and store it securely when not in use. The filter fits snugly into the Athena lenses’ dedicated drop-in slot, becoming a reliable extension of the lens.

FAQ

Question: Will this filter fit my lens?

Answer: This filter fits NiSi ATHENA full-frame prime lenses that include a drop-in filter slot. Check your lens model to confirm it has the dedicated drop-in slot before purchasing.

Question: How much light does the ND32 reduce?

Answer: The ND32 element darkens the image by five stops, allowing you to slow shutter speed or open the aperture without overexposing the image.

Question: What benefits does the polariser provide?

Answer: The polariser reduces reflections and glare from non-metallic surfaces, such as water, glass, and foliage, and can increase perceived saturation in skies and foliage for cleaner, more vivid images.

Question: Does the filter affect colour reproduction?

Answer: NiSi applies Optical Nano Coating technology to ensure full-spectrum neutrality, so you retain authentic colours and avoid common colour shifts associated with lower-quality filters.

Question: Is the filter protected for transport?

Answer: Yes, the filter ships with a convenient carry case to protect the glass and frame during transport and storage, making it easier to bring to location shoots.
