NiSi Cine Filter FS ND 0.6 (2 Stop) for ATHENA PL-Mount Lenses – Full Spectrum ND for precise light control

The NiSi Cine Filter FS ND 0.6 (2 Stop) is a full spectrum neutral density filter made for NiSi ATHENA PL-Mount lenses. It sits at the rear of the lens and reduces incoming light by two stops. Filmmakers can use it to keep exposure, aperture, and shutter control in bright conditions while preserving color fidelity and image alignment.

Key features

• Superior light management: The FS ND 0.6 reduces light entering the lens by a precise 2 stops. This control lets you use slower shutter speeds or larger apertures, helping you achieve motion blur and depth-of-field effects under bright lighting.
• Full spectrum capability: The filter is designed to maintain color fidelity across the spectrum, avoiding color shifts and reducing the need for corrective post-processing.
• Custom-fit for ATHENA PL lenses: This is a rear-mounted filter tailored specifically for NiSi ATHENA PL Mount lenses. It maintains alignment and image quality when installed.
• Included suction cap tool: The filter ships with a tool that uses a suction cap design. Use it to change filters quickly on the lens without leaving fingerprints.
• Built to last: The filter is constructed from premium optical materials and features a Multi Ti Nano coating with low reflection and anti-scratch resistance.

Practical uses for filmmakers

Use the NiSi FS ND 0.6 when you need to control exposure in bright scenes while keeping a specific aperture or creating motion blur. Because it preserves color accuracy, you can trust the in-camera image and rely less on color correction later. The rear-mount design helps preserve lens balance and optical alignment, which is important for professional cinematography workflows.

Compatibility and handling

The filter is specifically designed for NiSi ATHENA PL Mount lenses and mounts at the rear of the lens. Its custom fit ensures proper alignment and preserves image quality. The included suction cap tool simplifies filter swaps and helps prevent fingerprints on optical surfaces during handling.
