NiSi Cine Filter FS ND 1.5 (5 Stop) for Athena PL-Mount Lenses

NiSi Cine Filter FS ND 1.5 (5 Stop) for ATHENA PL-Mount Lenses – Full Spectrum ND for precise light control

Use the NiSi ATHENA Full Spectrum FS ND Rear PL Filter to control exposure and preserve color fidelity when shooting with ATHENA PL mount lenses. This FS ND 1.5 (5 stop) filter reduces incoming light by five stops, enabling slower shutter speeds and wider apertures in bright conditions while maintaining true-to-life colors.

Key features

• Superior light management: The FS ND filter reduces light entering your lens by precise stops. Consequently, you can use slower shutter speeds and larger apertures to achieve cinematic motion blur and finer control over depth of field, even in challenging bright lighting.
• Full spectrum capability: The filter is designed to maintain fidelity across the color spectrum. As a result, you avoid color shift and keep captured images true to life, which reduces the need for color correction in post-production.
• Custom-fit for ATHENA PL lenses: This is a rear-mounted filter made specifically for NiSi ATHENA PL mount lenses, providing seamless compatibility and maintaining optimal alignment and image quality.
• Included suction cap tool: The filter ships with a tool that uses a suction cap design. This tool allows quick and easy filter changes directly on the lens while helping to avoid fingerprints on the glass.
• Built to last: Constructed from premium optical materials, the filter features a Multi Ti Nano coating for low reflection and includes anti-scratch resistance to withstand professional use.

How this filter helps your cinematography

Filmmakers use the NiSi FS ND to manage exposure without compromising creative choices. For example, by cutting five stops of light you can keep a cinematic shutter angle or widen the aperture to separate subjects from backgrounds. Moreover, because the filter maintains color fidelity across the spectrum, you preserve the look you capture on set and spend less time correcting color later.

Compatibility and mounting

The FS ND 1.5 is a rear-mounted PL filter tailored for NiSi ATHENA PL Mount Lenses. Therefore, it aligns with the lens design to maintain image quality and proper optical performance when installed at the rear of the lens.

Included items and handling

The filter includes a suction cap tool to assist with installation and removal. This tool helps you swap filters quickly on set while protecting the filter surface from fingerprints. In short, the included tool makes field handling faster and cleaner.

Durability and coatings

NiSi builds this filter from premium optical materials and applies a Multi Ti Nano coating. These features deliver low reflection and anti-scratch resistance, which helps the filter endure professional production conditions and maintain consistent optical performance over time.

FAQ

Question: Is this filter compatible with non-ATHENA PL mount lenses?
Answer: This FS ND rear PL filter is specifically designed for NiSi ATHENA PL mount lenses and is tailored for rear mounting on those lenses. For other lens mounts, you should check compatibility or contact us for sourcing options.

Question: Will the filter cause color shifts that require correction in post?
Answer: The filter is a Full Spectrum design intended to maintain color fidelity across the spectrum, so it minimizes color shift and reduces the need for post-production color correction.

Question: What does the included suction cap tool do?
Answer: The suction cap tool is provided to help you change the rear-mounted filter quickly and without leaving fingerprints, allowing safer and faster handling on set.

Question: How does the filter affect creative choices like shutter speed and aperture?
Answer: By reducing light by five stops (for the 1.5 version), the filter lets you use slower shutter speeds and larger apertures in bright conditions, enabling cinematic motion blur and greater control over depth of field.
