NiSi Filter IRND8 Pro Nano Huc 82mm

NiSi Filter IRND8 Pro Nano Huc 82mm – 3-stop ND with IR protection

Designed for landscape photographers and videographers, the NiSi IRND8 Pro Nano Huc 82mm provides a reliable 3-stop reduction in light while protecting natural colors. The filter uses high-quality optical glass and several specialized coatings to preserve detail and resist contaminants.

Key benefits and uses

Attach this neutral density filter to reduce incoming light by three stops, which helps when highlights and shadows create too much contrast for a clean exposure. As a result, you can use larger apertures or slower shutter speeds to achieve motion blur or selective depth of field without overexposing your image.

Moreover, the added IR coating helps reduce infrared light reaching the sensor, which restores more natural color rendering when shooting in mixed lighting conditions.

Design and construction

The filter is made from high-quality optical glass and features a nano coating to protect fine detail. The frame is ultra-thin at 3.5mm, so it fits on super wide-angle lenses with less risk of vignetting. The frame also has a matt black superfine frosted finish to minimize reflections and a top smooth finish on the filter surface for consistent handling.

Features

• Ultra Thin frame (3,5mm) – The thin aluminium frame reduces the chance of vignetting on wide-angle lenses and improves compatibility with lens hoods and stacked filters.
• Matt Black Superfine Frosted Frame – The matte finish minimizes stray reflections and helps keep the frame discreet in the image circle.
• 3 Stops Exposure, No color Cast – Neutral Density 0.9 provides a three-stop reduction in light while maintaining neutral color balance.
• Top Smooth Finish on the Surface – The smooth surface aids handling and helps maintain consistent image quality across the frame.
• Neutral Density 0.9 (exposure adjustment = 3 stops) – Provides a predictable and repeatable reduction in exposure for creative control.
• IR Coating to reduce color cast – The infrared protection layer helps eliminate unwanted infrared light that can affect color accuracy.
• Nano Coating – The nano coating increases resistance to water and oil, making the filter more durable in varying shooting conditions.
• Extremely easy to clean – The coatings and smooth finish allow quick removal of fingerprints, water spots, and dust.

Practical tips for use

Use this ND8 filter when you need modest light reduction for creative long exposures or when large apertures would otherwise overexpose the image. The ultra-thin frame helps prevent vignetting on wide-angle lenses, and the matte finish reduces reflections during sunrise or sunset shoots.

Also, because the nano coating resists water and oil, you can clean the surface more easily after use in damp or dusty environments. Always store the filter in a protective case to maintain the smooth top finish and coatings.

FAQ

Question: Who is this filter designed for?
Answer: This filter is specially designed for landscape photographers and videographers who need a three-stop reduction in light while maintaining natural color and image detail.

Question: Will the IR coating affect my colors?
Answer: The IR coating reduces infrared light that can cause unwanted color cast, helping to restore more natural color rendition in your images.

Question: Does the filter cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
Answer: The frame is ultra-thin at 3.5mm, which lowers the risk of vignetting on super wide-angle lenses compared with thicker frames.

Question: How easy is the filter to clean and maintain?
Answer: The nano coating repels water and oil, and the top smooth finish makes the filter extremely easy to clean. Wipe gently with a suitable lens cloth after use.

Question: What size lens does this fit?
Answer: This NiSi IRND8 Pro Nano Huc filter fits lenses with an 82mm filter thread.
