The NiSi S6 ALPHA 150mm Filter Holder is built for landscape photographers and filmmakers using ultra-wide-angle lenses. It supports two 150mm wide filters (2mm thick) and allows full 360° rotation for precise positioning. The system aims to give you control over composition and light without compromising image clarity.
The S6 Alpha Kit specifically accommodates ultra-wide-angle lenses such as the Fujinon 8-16mm F2.8. Consequently, it lets you apply square or rectangular 150mm filters while preserving the intended field of view. As a result, you can use graduated or neutral density filters to shape light in wide vistas and complex scenes.
The NiSi S6 features a cutting-edge locking system to keep the main filter holder firmly in place. In addition, an integrated wheel provides smooth rotation and a natural locking action. This combination ensures the holder stays secure while you fine-tune the filter angle, letting you concentrate on composition and timing rather than gear handling.
The S6 main adaptor addresses ghosting and flare, common issues with wide focal lengths. It uses a matting treatment similar to that found in high-end lens hoods to reduce unwanted reflections. Consequently, you get improved image clarity and fewer artifacts when shooting into bright light or complex lighting situations.
The S6 ALPHA Filter Holder lets you install and remove the system quickly without taking the lens off your camera. The front of the holder uses clips that securely hold the 150mm filters, enabling rapid removal and replacement on the fly. Therefore, you can maintain focus on the scene and move between shots faster during dynamic shoots.
The NiSi S6 ALPHA is also compatible with S6 Circular Filters, including Polarizers (sold separately). This compatibility gives you additional creative options beyond the standard 150mm square filters, so you can control reflections, saturation, and contrast in diverse shooting conditions.
