NiSi Cine Filter Nano IRND 6x6"""" 2.1

NiSi Cine Filter Nano IRND 6x6" 2.1 – Reduces Exposure to Allow Wider Apertures and Slower Shutter Speeds

The NiSi Cine Filter Nano IRND 6x6" 2.1 reduces overall exposure and darkens the entire image, so you can shoot with a wider aperture or a slower shutter speed than normally required. This control over exposure helps you shape depth of field and convey motion in your shots.

Key features and benefits

• Neutral density function: The filter darkens the image, enabling longer exposure times or wider apertures while preserving the scene’s overall tonal balance.
• Depth-of-field and motion control: By allowing you to use a larger aperture or slower shutter speed, the filter helps you control depth of field and more easily convey movement.
• Color neutrality: The filter is intended not to affect the coloration of the image, making it suitable for stacking with other filters without introducing unwanted color casts.
• Optimized for digital sensors: The filter design targets digital-sensor use, promoting a nearly flat attenuation across visible and infrared wavelengths to reduce color shifts common with long exposures.
• Optical Nano Coating on each surface: Each surface receives one layer of NiSi Optical Nano Coating. This coating attenuates infrared light as well as visible wavelengths to maintain color neutrality and to help produce cleaner, truer blacks during extended exposure times.
• Constructed from optical glass: The filter uses optical glass for clarity and color fidelity, supporting image quality in both motion picture and photography workflows.
• Scratch resistance: The product includes scratch-resistant properties to protect the glass surface during use.
• Included pouch: A leatherette pouch is included for safe storage and transport of the filter.

Design notes

The NiSi Nano IRND has been specifically optimized to work well with modern digital sensors. To achieve this, NiSi applies one layer of its Optical Nano Coating to each surface of the filter. This approach aims to attenuate both visible and infrared wavelengths nearly evenly, which helps prevent the color casts that can appear with longer exposures or in mixed-light situations. As a result, you get truer blacks and a more neutral color rendering when using the filter.

Practical use cases

Use this NiSi Nano IRND when you need to deliberately reduce exposure without changing other lighting elements. For example:

• Shoot with a wider aperture to achieve a shallower depth of field while maintaining correct exposure.
• Use slower shutter speeds to capture motion blur for creative effects in cinematography or photography.
• Stack the filter with other filters when you need both neutral density and additional filtration, since it is designed to avoid significant color shifts.

FAQ

Question: What does this NiSi Nano IRND filter do?
Answer: It reduces exposure and darkens the entire image, allowing you to use a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than you otherwise could, which helps control depth of field and convey movement.

Question: Will this filter change my image colors?
Answer: The filter is intended not to affect image coloration. NiSi applies one layer of Optical Nano Coating to each surface to attenuate infrared and visible wavelengths, helping to maintain color neutrality and to suppress color casts.

Question: Is this filter suitable for digital cameras?
Answer: Yes. The filter design has been optimized for use with digital sensors and aims to provide nearly flat attenuation across visible and infrared light to reduce sensor-related color shifts.

Question: What do I get in the box?
Answer: The package includes the NiSi Nano IRND filter constructed from optical glass and a leatherette pouch for storage and transport. The filter is scratch resistant and 4mm thick.
