NiSi Filter IRND1000 Pro Nano Huc 49mm

NiSi Filter IRND1000 Pro Nano Huc 49mm – 10-Stop Neutral Density with IR Protection

The NiSi IRND1000 Pro Nano HUC 49mm reduces incoming light by 10 stops while preserving natural color. It lets you use a larger aperture or slower shutter speed for motion blur and creative depth-of-field control, and it includes an infrared protection coating to help maintain correct color rendition.

What this ND filter does

Attach the ND filter to your lens to uniformly reduce the amount of light entering the lens. This neutral reduction helps when highlights and shadows contrast too much for a good exposure. In addition, you can achieve greater motion blur or use wider apertures in bright conditions without overexposing the image.

Main features

• High-quality optical glass — The filter is made from high-quality optical glass with a nano coating designed to protect image detail.
• 10 stops (ND3.0) — The 3.0 density provides a 10-stop reduction in light, allowing significant exposure control in bright environments.
• No color cast — The neutral density design aims not to affect the coloration of the image, helping preserve true colors when you reduce exposure.
• IR coating — An added infrared protection coating reduces infrared light through the lens to help bring back natural color where IR contamination might occur.
• Ultra-thin brass frame (3.5mm) — The brass frame measures only 3.5mm in thickness, making this ultra-thin filter suitable for use on wide-angle lenses to help avoid vignetting.
• Matt black superfine frosted frame — The frame has a matt black superfine frosted finish to minimize reflections and stray light.
• Top smooth surface finish — The filter surface features a top smooth finish for consistent optical performance.
• Nano coating — Nano coating helps maintain detail and offers protection to the glass surface.

Typical use cases

Use this NiSi ND filter when you need to reduce exposure without changing aperture or ISO. For example:

1. Capture long-exposure motion blur in daylight, such as moving water or clouds.
2. Maintain shallow depth of field in bright conditions by using wide apertures.
3. Control exposure to balance highlights and shadows when contrast is high.
4. Reduce IR-induced color shifts in scenes where infrared contamination might affect color fidelity.

FAQ

Question: How many stops of light does this filter reduce?
Answer: This NiSi IRND1000 filter provides a 10-stop reduction in light (ND 3.0).

Question: Will this filter cause a color cast in my images?
Answer: The filter is designed as a neutral density with IR coating and nano coating to avoid color cast and to reduce infrared-induced color shifts, helping preserve natural color.

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

Question: What protective coatings does the filter have?
Answer: The glass features a nano coating and an infrared protection coating. The frame has a matt black superfine frosted finish and the surface has a top smooth finish to support consistent optical performance.
