NiSi Filter IRND8 Pro Nano Huc 95mm

NiSi Filter IRND8 Pro Nano Huc 95mm – 3-stop ND with IR protection

Designed for landscape photographers and videographers, the NiSi IRND8 Pro Nano Huc 95mm reduces light entry while preserving natural color. It combines a neutral density function with infrared protection and a nano coating to keep image details and make maintenance easier.

Key features and benefits

The NiSi Nano IR Neutral Density ND8 filter uses high-quality optical glass and a nano coating to retain fine detail. Importantly, the filter provides a neutral reduction of light without altering the coloration of the image. With a density of 0.9, it delivers a 3-stop reduction in exposure, which helps you control shutter speed and aperture in bright conditions.

The frame is made of aluminium and measures only 3.5mm in thickness. Because the filter is ultra thin, it fits well on wide-angle lenses and helps avoid vignetting. In addition, an infrared protection coating reduces infrared light passing through the lens to restore natural color balance.

Who should use this filter

Use this filter when the contrast between highlights and shadows is too great for a single clean exposure. It suits landscape photographers and videographers who need to:

• Control exposure in bright scenes
• Use slower shutter speeds for motion blur
• Open the aperture for shallower depth of field in bright light
• Maintain natural color by reducing IR-induced color cast

Practical notes on performance

Attaching this ND filter uniformly reduces incoming light and gives you more control over exposure. Because it is neutral density, it does not affect the color balance of your images. Moreover, the IR coating helps eliminate infrared contamination that can cause unwanted color shifts, bringing back a more natural color rendering.

Thanks to the nano coating, the filter surface resists water and oil, which makes it extremely easy to clean and keeps glass performance consistent in the field. The matt black superfine frosted aluminium frame reduces reflections and contributes to a clean optical path.

Technical specifications

How to use

Screw the filter onto the front of a compatible 95mm lens thread. The ND effect reduces incoming light evenly, so you can open the aperture or slow the shutter for creative effects without changing color balance. The ultra thin frame minimizes the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses.

FAQ

Question: What does the ND8 / 0.9 rating mean?
Answer: The 0.9 density corresponds to a 3-stop reduction in light. This allows you to use slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright conditions while keeping exposure under control.

Question: Will this filter cause a color cast?
Answer: The filter is designed as a neutral density element and does not affect overall coloration. In addition, the IR coating reduces infrared contamination that can otherwise introduce a color cast, helping to preserve natural color rendering.

Question: Is the filter easy to clean and maintain?
Answer: Yes. The nano coating makes the surface resistant to water and oil, which simplifies cleaning and keeps the glass clear in varied shooting conditions.

Question: Can I use this filter on wide-angle lenses without vignetting?
Answer: The aluminium frame is ultra thin (3.5mm), so it is suitable for use on many wide-angle lenses and helps reduce the risk of vignetting compared to thicker frames.

Question: Who benefits most from this filter?
Answer: Landscape photographers and videographers will find this filter particularly useful when they need controlled exposures, motion blur effects, or consistent color performance in bright conditions.
