The NiSi Nano IR Neutral Density Filter ND8 is specially designed for landscape photographers and videographers. It reduces incoming light by 3 stops (ND0.9) while preserving scene detail. As a result, you can control exposure, create motion blur, or use wider apertures without altering image coloration.
The filter uses high-quality optical glass and a nano coating that helps retain image detail. In addition, the filter includes an IR protection coating that reduces infrared light passing through the lens to help restore natural color. The nano coating also makes the filter highly resistant to water and oil, which makes it extremely easy to clean and maintain.
The frame is made of aluminium and measures only 3.5mm in thickness. Because the frame is ultra thin, the filter fits well on super wide-angle lenses and helps avoid vignetting. The frame also features a matt black superfine frosted finish and a top smooth surface for practical handling and reduced reflections.
Attaching this neutral density filter uniformly reduces light entering the lens. Therefore, it helps when the contrast between highlights and shadows is too great for a proper exposure. Furthermore, the filter enables greater motion blurring and finer control of depth of field by allowing the use of larger apertures and/or slower shutter speeds.

Question: Will this filter cause a color cast in my images?
Answer: The NiSi ND8 is a neutral density filter that does not affect image coloration. In addition, it includes an IR protection coating to reduce infrared light and help restore natural color when necessary.
Question: Is this filter suitable for wide-angle lenses without vignetting?
Answer: Yes. The aluminium frame is ultra thin (3.5mm), which helps the filter fit super wide-angle lenses and reduces the risk of vignetting.
Question: How durable and easy to maintain is the filter?
Answer: The filter has a nano coating that makes it resistant to water and oil, and it is described as extremely easy to clean. The matt black superfine frosted frame and top smooth surface also support practical handling and reduced reflections.
Question: What creative advantages does this ND8 provide for photographers and videographers?
Answer: By reducing light uniformly by 3 stops, this ND8 enables slower shutter speeds for motion blur and allows wider apertures in bright conditions, helping you achieve controlled exposures and creative effects in both photography and videography.
