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

NiSi Filter Holder S6 Kit Laowa 15mm F4.5 W-Dreamer – Holds 2×150 mm square filters plus a 360° rotatable circular polarizer

This NiSi S6 filter holder kit is specially designed for ultra wide-angle lenses, including full-frame and smaller sensor sizes. It is part of the NiSi 150 mm filter system and ships with a lens adapter and a high-quality circular polarizing filter. The holder lets you combine square filters with a rotatable polarizer without removing the unit from the lens.

Key design and build details

The S6 holder is made of aluminum alloy with a matte finish to reduce reflections. It features an octagon-style design that speeds up installation and removal of filters. Internally, the holder is lined with a flocking material to reduce inner reflections and minimize glare in your images.

Filter capacity and polarizer operation

The holder accommodates two 150 mm square filters (2 mm thick) simultaneously. In addition, the kit includes a circular polarizing filter that fits into a dedicated compartment in the holder. You can rotate the polarizer 360 degrees using two small, easily accessible exterior adjustment wheels. Furthermore, the turning filterholder can be locked in any position using a newly designed locking screw, so you keep the polarizer exactly where you need it.

Use case and filter combinations

The S6’s smart layout enables photographers to use a standard neutral density (ND) filter, a graduated ND filter, and a circular polarizer at the same time. This combination is particularly useful for landscape photography where control over exposure and reflections is important. The holder is made to avoid vignetting when used with the intended ultra-wide lenses, so you can preserve your field of view.

Adapter and compatibility

The kit includes an adapter tailored for the Laowa 15mm F4.5 W-Dreamer, a lens that lacks a normal filter thread. You can exchange the adapter to use the S6 holder on other lenses when needed. Note that the polarizing filter included in this kit is built for use in the S6 adapter and cannot be mounted directly on a lens.
