NiSi Filter IRND1000 Pro Nano Huc 46mm

NiSi Filter IRND1000 Pro Nano Huc 46mm – 10-stop Neutral Density with IR protection

The NiSi IRND1000 Pro Nano Huc 46mm is a 10-stop neutral density filter designed to reduce the amount of light entering your lens. It helps you use larger apertures or slower shutter speeds to create motion blur, control exposure in bright conditions, and retain image detail. Additionally, the filter includes infrared protection and a nano coating to preserve natural color and fine detail.

How this ND filter helps your photography and filmmaking

Attach the ND filter to your lens to uniformly reduce light across the frame. This lets you choose a slow shutter speed to record motion blur, or a wide aperture to isolate subjects with shallow depth of field even in bright environments. The filter also supports better exposure control when highlight and shadow contrast is high, giving you more flexibility when shooting in challenging light.

Key benefits and design

The filter uses high-quality optical glass with a nano coating intended to prevent loss of detail. It adds an infrared protection coating to reduce infrared light reaching the sensor and help restore natural color. The frame is made of brass and is ultra thin, which helps avoid vignetting on wide-angle lenses. The surface has a top smooth finish and the frame is finished in a matt black superfine frosted style.

Features

• Ultra Thin frame (3.5mm) made in Brass
• Matt Black Superfine Frosted Frame.
• 10 Stops Exposure, No color Cast
• Top Smooth Finish on the Surface
• Neutral Density 3.0 (exposure adjustment = 10 stops, transmits 0.1% of light)
• IR Coating to reduce color cast
• Nano Coating

Furthermore, the ultra thin brass frame (3.5mm) minimizes the chance of vignetting when used on super wide-angle lenses. The matt black superfine frosted finish reduces reflections from the filter edges. The ND3.0 density provides a 10-stop reduction in light, transmitting approximately 0.1% of the incoming light, which enables long exposures or wide apertures under bright conditions. The nano coating works to preserve fine image detail, while the IR coating helps eliminate infrared contamination that can shift colors.

FAQ

Question: What does ND1000 / ND3.0 mean for exposure?
Answer: ND3.0 refers to a neutral density rating that provides a 10-stop reduction in light. Practically, this lets you slow the shutter or open the aperture significantly in bright conditions; the filter transmits about 0.1% of the incoming light.

Question: Will this filter change the color of my images?
Answer: The filter is specified as having no color cast and includes an IR coating to reduce infrared light, which helps bring back natural color. Therefore, it is designed to preserve accurate coloration while reducing light levels.

Question: Is this filter suitable for wide-angle lenses?
Answer: Yes. The frame is made of brass and is ultra thin (3.5mm), which helps the filter fit well on super wide-angle lenses and reduces the risk of vignetting.

Question: What does the nano coating do?
Answer: The nano coating is applied to the optical glass to help prevent loss of detail. It aims to maintain image sharpness and clarity while providing protective surface properties.

Question: How is the filter finished physically?
Answer: The filter features a matt black superfine frosted frame and a top smooth finish on the glass surface, both intended to reduce reflections and provide a clean appearance.
