The NiSi S6 ALPHA Filter Holder is built for landscape and ultra-wide photography, designed specifically to work with the Sony 12-24mm F2.8 GM. It accepts two 150mm wide square filters and offers full 360° rotation, giving you flexible control when composing shots at extreme wide angles.
This filter holder accommodates ultra-wide-angle lenses, making it suitable for expansive landscape scenes. It supports two 150mm wide filters (2mm thick), allowing you to stack filters while keeping the field of view unobstructed on the intended lens.
The S6 features a secure locking mechanism that keeps the main holder firmly in place. An integrated wheel enables smooth rotation and natural locking action. As a result, you can adjust filter orientation confidently and focus on composition rather than equipment stability.
NiSi applies a matting treatment to the main adapter similar to treatments used in high-end lens hoods. This surface treatment reduces unwanted reflections, helping to minimise ghosting and flare. The result is improved image clarity when you use filters on wide focal lengths.
The S6 ALPHA is designed for efficient operation in the field. You can mount and remove the holder without taking the lens off the camera. Front clips on the holder securely retain the 150mm filters while allowing rapid removal and replacement. This lets you change filters quickly and maintain momentum during shoots.
Beyond standard 150mm square filters, the S6 ALPHA is also compatible with NiSi S6 Circular Filters, including circular polarizers (sold separately). This compatibility gives you additional creative options without changing the main holder system.

Question: Will the NiSi S6 ALPHA block the field of view on the Sony 12-24mm F2.8 GM?
Answer: The S6 ALPHA is designed specifically to accommodate ultra-wide lenses and the Sony 12-24mm F2.8 GM, so it supports 150mm filters without obstructing the intended field of view.
Question: How many filters can I use at once and what thickness is supported?
Answer: The holder accepts two 150mm wide square filters and supports filters that are 2mm thick, enabling you to stack two thin 150mm filters as required.
Question: Can I rotate filters for graduated effects or polarization?
Answer: Yes. The holder provides 360° rotation with an integrated wheel and locking system, allowing precise orientation for grad filters and alignment of circular filter elements when using compatible S6 Circular Filters.
Question: Will this reduce reflections and flare when I use filters?
Answer: The S6 main adaptor uses a matting treatment similar to high-end lens hoods to reduce internal reflections, which helps minimise ghosting and flare when shooting with filters at wide focal lengths.
Question: How quick is swapping filters in the field?
Answer: The front clips on the holder secure the 150mm filters while letting you remove and replace them rapidly. You can install or remove the holder without taking the lens off the camera, speeding up your workflow on location.
Question: What exactly comes in the kit?
Answer: The package includes the NiSi S6 adapter for the stated lens, the NiSi S6 filterholder for 150mm square filters, and a case to store both the adapter and the holder.
