Specially designed for landscape photographers and videographers, the NiSi IRND8 Pro Nano HUC 52mm reduces light without altering image coloration. It delivers a controlled 3-stop reduction while preserving detail and natural color rendition.
The NiSi Nano IR Neutral Density Filter ND8 uses high-quality optical glass with a nano coating to protect image detail. Because the coating repels water and oil, the filter remains easier to clean and keeps optical performance consistent over time. In addition, the infrared (IR) protection coating layer reduces infrared light passing through the lens, which helps bring back natural color in your images.
This neutral density (ND) filter does not affect image coloration, and its 0.9 density provides a 3-stop reduction in the amount of light entering the lens. By uniformly reducing incoming light, the filter helps when the contrast between highlights and shadows is too great for a single, quality exposure. It also allows you to use larger apertures or slower shutter speeds to create motion blur and to reveal additional image detail.
The frame is made of aluminium and measures only 3.5 mm in thickness. This ultra-thin design fits even on super wide-angle lenses and reduces the risk of vignetting. The frame also features a matt black superfine frosted finish and a top smooth surface to limit reflections and provide a professional look on your lens.
Landscape photographers and videographers can use this ND8 filter to manage bright scenes while keeping natural colors. For scenes with strong contrast, the filter provides even exposure reduction so you can capture more detail in highlights and shadows. When you want motion effects—such as smoothing water or showing movement—the 3-stop reduction lets you slow the shutter or open the aperture without overexposing the image.

Question: Will this filter cause a color cast in my images?
Answer: No. The NiSi ND8 is a neutral density filter and does not affect overall coloration. In addition, the IR coating helps reduce infrared-induced color cast to maintain natural color rendition.
Question: Can I use this filter on wide-angle lenses without vignetting?
Answer: Yes. The ultra-thin aluminium frame measures 3.5 mm and is designed to fit even super wide-angle lenses to minimize the risk of vignetting.
Question: How does the 0.9 density affect exposure and creative options?
Answer: The 0.9 density provides a 3-stop reduction in light. This allows you to use a larger aperture or a slower shutter speed in bright conditions, which helps create motion blur and capture additional image detail without overexposing.
Question: How should I clean and maintain this filter?
Answer: The nano coating makes the filter resistant to water and oil and keeps it extremely easy to clean. Wipe gently with appropriate microfiber cloths or cleaning solutions recommended for optical glass to preserve the coatings and surface finish.
