NiSi Filter IRND8 Pro Nano Huc 77mm

NiSi Filter IRND8 Pro Nano HUC 77mm – 3-stop neutral density with IR protection

The NiSi Nano IR Neutral Density Filter ND8 for 77mm lenses reduces light by 3 stops while protecting color fidelity. It uses high-quality optical glass with nano coating to preserve image detail. The filter’s ultra-thin aluminium frame helps it fit on super-wide-angle lenses and reduces the risk of vignetting.

Key benefits for photographers and videographers

Attach this ND filter when you need to control exposure without changing color balance. The neutral density element uniformly reduces the amount of light entering the lens, which helps when highlights and shadows have too much contrast for a single good exposure.

Moreover, the ND8 permits creative control: you can use a larger aperture or a slower shutter speed to achieve motion blur or greater depth-of-field effects while maintaining correct exposure.

Design and coatings

The filter combines a slim aluminium frame with advanced surface treatments. First, a nano coating resists water and oil, making the glass extremely easy to clean and maintain in the field. Second, an IR protection coating reduces infrared light passing through the lens to restore natural color and lower color cast.

Finally, the frame features a matt black superfine frosted finish and a top smooth surface finish for reduced reflections and easier handling.

How and when to use this ND8 filter

Use the NiSi ND8 when shooting landscapes or video in bright conditions where you want longer exposures or a wider aperture. For example, apply the filter to create smooth water motion in landscape photography or to use cinematic shutter speeds in bright daylight without overexposing the image.

Because the frame is only 3.5mm thick, you can also mount the filter on wide-angle lenses with less risk of vignetting, which makes it suitable for both stills and motion work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Will this filter change the color of my images? Answer: No, the ND8 is a neutral density filter designed to avoid color cast; additionally, the IR coating helps reduce infrared-induced color shifts and restores natural color.

Question: Can I use this on wide-angle lenses without vignetting? Answer: Yes, the ultra-thin 3.5mm aluminium frame minimizes the chance of vignetting and makes the filter suitable for super wide-angle lenses.

Question: Is the filter easy to clean in the field? Answer: Yes, the nano coating makes the filter highly resistant to water and oil, which simplifies cleaning and maintenance during outdoor shoots.

Question: What creative advantages does a 3-stop ND provide? Answer: A 3-stop reduction lets you use slower shutter speeds for motion blur or wider apertures for shallower depth of field in bright conditions, giving you more creative control over exposure and image look.
