NiSi Filter IRND1000 Pro Nano Huc 52mm

NiSi Filter IRND1000 Pro Nano Huc 52mm – 10-stop ND with IR protection

The NiSi IRND1000 Pro Nano Huc 52mm is a neutral density filter that reduces light by 10 stops, allowing you to use larger apertures or slower shutter speeds for motion blur and improved image control. It uses high-quality optical glass with nano coating to preserve image detail while the IR coating helps reduce infrared contamination and restore natural color.

Why use this ND filter

First, the ND3.0 density uniformly reduces the amount of light entering the lens by 10 stops. As a result, you can achieve greater motion blurring or use a wider aperture in bright conditions without overexposing the image. Second, the filter is useful when the contrast between highlights and shadows is too great to achieve a balanced exposure; it helps you manage overall exposure more effectively.

Design and build

The filter frame is ultra thin and made of brass, with a thickness of only 3.5mm. Therefore, it fits well even on super wide-angle lenses and helps avoid vignetting. The frame has a matt black superfine frosted finish and a top smooth surface finish for handling and reduced reflections.

Optical coatings and color performance

This NiSi filter combines a nano coating on the optical glass with an added IR protection coating. The nano coating helps prevent loss of detail, while the IR coating reduces infrared light passing through the lens to minimize color casts and bring back natural color. Overall, the ND filter is designed to provide the 10-stop reduction without introducing noticeable color shifts.

Key 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

How it helps your shooting

Attach the ND filter to your lens and it will uniformly reduce incoming light, giving you control over exposure without changing aperture-based depth of field decisions. Consequently, you can create controlled motion blur for creative effects or retain a shallow depth of field in bright environments. Additionally, the IR coating and nano treatment work together to keep colors natural and details sharp.

FAQ

Question: Will this filter change my image colors?
Answer: The filter is a neutral density 3.0 and is designed not to affect coloration. In addition, the IR coating helps reduce infrared-induced color cast to restore more natural color.

Question: Can I use this on wide-angle lenses without vignetting?
Answer: Yes. The frame is ultra thin (3.5mm) and made of brass, which helps the filter sit close to the lens and reduces the risk of vignetting on super wide-angle lenses.

Question: How much light does the ND1000 block?
Answer: The ND3.0 density provides a 10-stop reduction in light and transmits approximately 0.1% of the incoming light, allowing for longer exposures or wider apertures in bright conditions.

Question: What benefits do the nano and IR coatings provide?
Answer: The nano coating helps preserve fine image detail by improving surface quality and resistance to contaminants, while the IR coating reduces infrared light through the lens to minimize color shifts and maintain natural color balance.
