This NiSi filter holder is specially designed for the super wide-angle Samyang XP 14mm f/2.4. It lets you use 150 mm square and rectangular filters with that lens, giving you control over light and exposure in wide landscape and architectural shots.
The holder lets you combine the Samyang XP 14mm f/2.4 with 150mm square filters, enabling solutions that round screw-on filters often cannot provide. For example, graduated rectangular filters can balance a bright sky and a shaded foreground by being shifted up or down in the holder.
In addition, square and rectangular filter systems are versatile: with the right adapter rings, one filter can serve many different lenses. This reduces the need to purchase multiple round filters in different thread sizes.
NiSi constructs the 150mm holder from aviation-grade aluminum. The main element is processed by CNC machining and finished with a matte black frosted surface. These choices contribute to a durable build and an anti-reflective design that reduces stray light during imaging.
The screw accessories are made of copper and plated with black nickel. This combination provides corrosion resistance and a consistent appearance with the holder.
Rectangular graduated filters allow a transition from dark to clear. You can shift this transition vertically in the holder to fit the scene, often blending the change imperceptibly. For wide-angle applications, soft-edge graduated filters are recommended. For normal and longer lenses, hard-edge graduated filters are typically recommended.

Question: Will this holder work only on the Samyang XP 14mm F2.4?
Answer: The holder is specifically designed for the Samyang XP 14mm F2.4, ensuring proper fit and performance for that lens.
Question: What size and thickness of filters does it accept?
Answer: It is compatible with 150mm square filters of 2mm thickness, and it allows up to two of those filters to be used together in the holder.
Question: Will I get vignetting when using this holder?
Answer: You should not experience vignetting when the holder is at 90 degrees rotation. However, some vignetting can occur when the holder is rotated to other angles, so you may need to check composition when rotating the assembly.
Question: Which type of graduated filter edge should I choose for wide-angle shots?
Answer: For wide-angle lenses like the Samyang XP 14mm, a soft-edge graduated filter is recommended. Hard-edge graduated filters are generally recommended for normal and longer lenses.
