NiSi Filter Circular For S6 ND1000 (10Stop)

NiSi Filter Circular For S6 ND1000 (10Stop) – 10-stop exposure reduction for extended daytime exposures

This NiSi Circular ND1000 (10 Stop) neutral density filter is designed for use with the NiSi S6 150mm filter holder system and provides a full 10-stop (3.0 density) exposure reduction. It darkens the entire image so you can use wider apertures or slower shutter speeds than normally required, enabling greater control over depth of field and motion rendering in bright conditions.

Compatibility and mounting

Mounting is straightforward when you use the NiSi S6 system:

• The filter is designed for the NiSi S6 150mm filter holder system.
• It screws into a NiSi S6 150mm filter holder adapter ring after the kit’s included Pro Screw-In Circular Polarizer Filter has been removed.
• Note: If you are using an older generation S5 adaptor, the S6 holder frame must be used in combination.

Light control and creative uses

The ND1000’s 3.0 density creates strong darkening across the frame. As a result, you can:

• Use a wider aperture in bright light to reduce depth of field.
• Choose a much slower shutter speed to capture motion blur and convey movement.
• Balance scenes where highlights and shadows have excessive contrast to achieve a better overall exposure.

Furthermore, the ND1000 is intended for daytime use outside of golden hour, when ambient light is very bright and requires substantial light reduction. During golden hour, with appropriate camera settings, this filter can prolong exposures for up to 5 minutes to create smooth water, cloud motion, or other long-exposure effects.

Optical quality and coatings

NiSi designed this ND filter to preserve natural color and image detail. Key optical facts include:

• Made from high-quality optical glass (not resin) to maintain image clarity and detail.
• Includes a nano coating to help prevent loss of any single bit of detail and to reduce unwanted reflections.
• Features an infrared protection coating layer to eliminate infrared contamination that can cause a red color cast, especially when shooting at small apertures.
• The NiSi Pro Nano Coating further reduces reflections and provides a waterproof and scratch-resistant surface, which helps when cleaning fingerprints, dust, and water stains.

Frequently asked questions

Question: Will this filter fit my NiSi S6 150mm holder?
Answer: Yes. The NiSi Circular ND1000 is designed specifically for the NiSi S6 150mm filter holder system and screws into the S6 150mm filter holder adapter ring after you remove the kit’s Pro Screw-In Circular Polarizer Filter.

Question: Can I use this ND1000 during bright daylight?
Answer: Yes. The ND1000 (10 Stop) is intended for daytime use outside of golden hour when ambient light is very bright and requires substantial light blocking.

Question: How does the filter affect color and infrared issues?
Answer: NiSi ND filters are made from optical glass and include an infrared protection coating layer to eliminate infrared light that can cause red color casts, helping to retain true-to-life color.

Question: Will the filter help with reflections and cleaning?
Answer: Yes. The NiSi Pro Nano Coating reduces unwanted reflections and provides a waterproof and scratch-resistant surface, which assists when cleaning fingerprints, dust, and water stains.

Question: Are there compatibility considerations with older mount systems?
Answer: If you use an older generation S5 adaptor, be aware that the S6 holder frame must be used in combination to ensure proper fit and function.
