The NiSi Natural Night 52mm filter reduces unwanted wavelengths from common streetlights so your camera captures cleaner night skies. Mercury vapor, sodium, and low CRI LED streetlights produce glows that can pollute the night sky. These glows can prevent your camera from seeing the sky properly and can ruin night images. Because of this, NiSi designed the Natural Night filter to block the most common wavelengths of light pollution, giving you clearer and nicer colors in your photos.
This filter specifically targets the types of light pollution that affect night photography. Use it for night scenes and astrophotography to reduce color contamination from street lighting and other common urban light sources. As a result, you can expect improved color fidelity in your night images when using the filter under polluted sky conditions.
Like the rest of the NiSi line, the Natural Night filter is made of high quality, precision annealed optical glass. Its surface is finely ground and polished to ensure sharpness for today's ultra high megapixel cameras. This construction helps the filter maintain image clarity and detail when used with modern camera sensors.
The NiSi Natural Night Filter features NiSi's unique NANO Coating technology. This multi-layer coating reduces reflection on the surface of the filter to help with ghosting and flare. It also includes a protective layer that makes it easy to wipe off water, dust and oil from the filter, without worrying about scratching your glass. The NANO Coating process achieves these benefits without a color shift or loss in sharpness.
