NiSi Filter Holder S6 Adapter For Laowa 15mm F4.5 W-Dreamer

NiSi Filter Holder S6 Adapter for Laowa 15mm F4.5 W-Dreamer – Enables use of the NiSi S6 150mm Filter System

This adapter ring lets you mount a NiSi S6 150mm filter system on the Laowa 15mm F4.5 W-Dreamer lens. It installs quickly over the lens’ integrated hood and provides a stable connection between the lens and the NiSi S6 filter holder. The adapter is offered separately and is also included in the NiSi S6-Kit for the above lens.

Key Features

• Designed specifically to enable the NiSi S6 150mm Filter Holder System on the Laowa 15mm F4.5 W-Dreamer lens.
• Slides over the lens’ integrated hood and tightens for secure fit.
• Allows the use of a compatible circular polarizer with independent rotation via external dials on the adapter ring.
• Supports a NiSi S6 Filter Holder Frame, which locks to the adapter with a pull-and-release locking pin.
• Permits 360° rotation of the filter holder for adjusting graduated neutral density and other filters.
• Constructed from aluminum alloy for durability.
• Enables quick installation and removal without taking the lens off the camera body.
• Included in the NiSi S6-Kit for the Laowa 15mm F4.5 W-Dreamer lens.

How it Works

First, slide the adapter ring over the lens’ integrated hood and tighten it in place. Then, attach a compatible circular polarizer to the adapter ring. The adapter includes external dials that let you rotate the polarizer independently to dial in the effect you need.

Next, mount a NiSi S6 Filter Holder Frame onto the adapter ring. The filter holder connects via a pull-and-release locking pin that provides a secure, yet adjustable, attachment. After fitting, you can rotate the entire filter holder a full 360° to position graduated neutral density or other rectangular filters where they best affect the image.

Compatibility and Requirements

• This product is the adapter only; it does not include the S6 Filter Holder Frame or rectangular filters.
• It is compatible with the Circular S6 filters and requires an S6 Filter Holder to use 150x150mm or 150x170mm filters.
• Please note: this adapter is not compatible with the Circular filters for the S5 system.
• If you already own the NiSi S6 Holder Kit, simply add this adapter to make that kit compatible with the Laowa 15mm F4.5 W-Dreamer lens.

Use Cases

Use this adapter when you need to combine the Laowa 15mm F4.5 W-Dreamer with the NiSi S6 150mm filter workflow. For example, attach a circular polarizer to control reflections and sky saturation, then add graduated neutral density or other rectangular filters in the S6 holder and rotate them to the optimal position. Because the adapter allows quick mounting and removal, you can change filter configurations without detaching the lens from your camera.

Durability and Handling

The adapter ring is made from aluminum alloy to provide a durable interface between the lens and the filter holder. Additionally, the pull-and-release locking pin on the S6 holder gives you a reliable connection that still allows fine rotational adjustment of the filter holder when needed.
