The NiSi S6 ALPHA 150mm Filter Holder kit gives landscape photographers a tailored solution for ultra-wide-angle shooting with the Sony 12-24mm F4 lens. It supports two 150mm wide filters (2mm thick) and offers full 360° rotation, so you can precisely position filters for the effect you need.
This kit targets photographers who work with ultra-wide lenses and want a reliable filter workflow in the field. The system accommodates the wide image circle of the Sony 12-24mm F4 and lets you mount two 150mm plates simultaneously. As a result, you can combine filters or stack them while keeping full control over orientation and composition.
The S6 offers a modern locking mechanism that keeps the main holder firmly in place. In practice, the integrated wheel lets you lock and unlock rotation smoothly. Consequently, you can adjust filter angle without struggling with stiff or imprecise controls, so your focus stays on making the shot.
Ghosting and flare become more pronounced with wide-angle optics and stacked filters. To address this, the S6 main adapter uses the same matting treatment you find on high-end lens hoods. This treatment reduces internal reflections and helps you capture cleaner, clearer images when shooting scenes with bright highlights.
The kit is designed for speed. You can install and remove the holder quickly without taking the lens off your camera. The front clips secure the 150mm filters and allow fast swapping in the field. Thus, you maintain shooting momentum and minimize downtime between frames.
In addition to the 150mm square filters, the S6 Alpha system supports S6 Circular Filters, such as polarizers, which are sold separately. This compatibility gives you more creative control—use a circular polarizer to manage reflections and enhance color, then add graduated filters for balanced exposures.
