NiSi Filter IRND8 Pro Nano Huc 62mm

NiSi Filter IRND8 Pro Nano Huc 62mm – 3-stop Neutral Density with IR protection

Specially designed for landscape photographers and videographers, the NiSi IRND8 Pro Nano Huc 62mm provides controlled light reduction while preserving natural colors. It suits situations where you need to manage exposure without altering the tonal balance of the scene.

Key features and benefits

This NiSi ND8 (ND0.9) neutral density filter uses high quality optical glass and advanced coatings to protect image detail and color fidelity. The 0.9 density delivers a precise 3-stop reduction in light entering the lens, allowing you to use wider apertures or slower shutter speeds when required. Because the ND element does not change overall coloration, you can keep your intended color rendering during long exposures or video.

The filter includes an infrared (IR) protection coating to reduce unwanted infrared light that can cause color shifts. In addition, the nano coating makes the glass highly resistant to water and oil, which helps keep the surface clean and maintains image clarity. The aluminium frame measures only 3.5mm thick and has a matt black superfine frosted finish with a top smooth surface. This ultra-thin profile helps minimize the risk of vignetting on super wide-angle lenses.

How and when to use this filter

Attach the ND8 filter when the scene’s highlights and shadows have too large a contrast range for a correct exposure, or when you want to create motion blur in water, clouds, or moving subjects. The filter lets you combine a larger aperture with a slower shutter speed to increase creative control over depth of field and motion rendering. Videographers can use it to maintain cinematic shutter speeds in bright daylight without changing aperture or ISO.

FAQ

Question: Will this filter change the color of my images?
Answer: The ND element itself is designed not to affect coloration, and the added IR coating reduces infrared-induced color casts. Together they help preserve a natural color balance in your photos and video.

Question: Can I use the filter on wide-angle lenses without vignetting?
Answer: Yes. The aluminium frame is ultra thin at 3.5mm and the matt black superfine frosted design minimizes reflections. This slimmer profile helps the filter fit better on super wide-angle lenses and reduces the chance of vignetting.

Question: How does the nano coating help me in the field?
Answer: The nano coating makes the glass resistant to water and oil, so droplets and smudges are less likely to adhere. As a result, the filter is extremely easy to clean and maintain during outdoor shoots.

Question: What does ND0.9 / ND8 mean for exposure settings?
Answer: ND0.9 (often referred to as ND8) reduces incoming light by 3 stops. This allows you to use a larger aperture or slower shutter speed under brighter conditions to achieve desired depth of field or motion blur effects.
