Description
Article no.: 28239
This NiSi Cine Nano IRND filter reduces exposure across the entire image, letting you work with a wider aperture or a slower shutter speed than you otherwise could. As a result, you can control depth of field more easily and convey motion through longer exposures.
NiSi optimized this filter specifically for use with digital sensors. It promotes nearly flat attenuation of both visible and infrared light to avoid unwanted color casts. Consequently, the filter aims to preserve cleaner, truer blacks even when you increase exposure time.
To achieve this neutrality, NiSi applies one layer of its Optical Nano Coating to each surface of the filter. This coating attenuates infrared as well as visible wavelengths and helps keep colors accurate when you combine the filter with other glass elements.
Use this ND filter when you want to widen the aperture for shallower depth of field or slow the shutter to show motion. Because it maintains neutral color balance and reduces infrared contamination, you can confidently pair it with other filters or use it in multi-filter stacks without introducing obvious color shifts.

Question: What does the 0.3 specification mean?
Answer: The 0.3 denotes the neutral density value of the filter, which reduces the amount of light reaching the sensor to allow longer exposures or wider apertures. It is intended to darken the image without altering color.
Question: Will this filter change my image colors?
Answer: No. The NiSi Nano IRND is designed to be color-neutral. It uses a NiSi Optical Nano Coating on each surface to attenuate infrared as well as visible light, which helps prevent color casts during longer exposures.
Question: Can I stack this filter with other filters?
Answer: Yes. Because the filter aims to maintain neutral coloration, it pairs well with other filters. Many users stack it to achieve combined effects without introducing significant color shifts.
Question: What does the filter include for transport and protection?
Answer: The filter comes with a leatherette pouch for storage and transport, and the filter offers scratch resistance to protect the optical surface during use.
Question: Is this filter suitable for filmmaking and photography with digital sensors?
Answer: Yes. NiSi optimized the Nano IRND filter for digital sensors to provide nearly flat attenuation across visible and infrared wavelengths, making it suitable for both filmmaking and still photography that require controlled exposure and neutral color fidelity.
