The NiSi Cine Filter FS ND 2.1 (7 Stop) is a full spectrum neutral density rear PL filter made specifically for NiSi ATHENA PL‑mount lenses. It reduces incoming light by seven stops while preserving color fidelity and allowing precise control over exposure and depth of field. The filter fits at the rear of ATHENA PL lenses and includes a suction cap tool to help you change filters quickly without leaving fingerprints.
Use the NiSi FS ND 2.1 when you need to control exposure without altering aperture or shutter settings drastically. For example, filmmakers can maintain a wide aperture for shallow depth of field or select a slower shutter speed for natural motion blur while working in bright daylight. The full spectrum design preserves accurate colors, which reduces time spent on color correction.
The NiSi FS ND series for ATHENA PL lenses is available in eight density options. Choose the density that matches your exposure needs.
| Optical Density | Stops |
|---|---|
| 0.3 | 1 stop |
| 0.6 | 2 stop |
| 0.9 | 3 stop |
| 1.2 | 4 stop |
| 1.5 | 5 stop |
| 1.8 | 6 stop |
| 2.1 | 7 stop |
| 2.4 | 8 stop |
The NiSi FS ND filter is crafted from premium optical materials to stand up to professional use. In addition, its Multi Ti Nano coating reduces reflections and adds scratch resistance. Therefore, the filter helps preserve image quality and reduces unwanted surface artifacts during shoots.
