The NiSi Natural Night filter for 72mm thread lenses reduces the impact of common light pollution so you capture cleaner colors in night scenes and astrophotography. It targets the unwanted wavelengths produced by mercury vapor, sodium, and low CRI LED streetlights. These light sources create a glow that can obscure the sky and degrade night images, and the Natural Night filter is designed to block those wavelengths.
Use this filter when shooting city skylines at night, street scenes under artificial lighting, or the night sky. By blocking the most common wavelengths of light pollution, it helps your camera see the sky more clearly and preserves nicer, more natural colors in your photos.
NiSi makes this filter from precision annealed optical glass. Its surface is finely ground and polished to maintain sharpness, specifically for today’s ultra high megapixel cameras. In short, the material and finish are intended to deliver high definition results without compromising image detail.
The Natural Night filter features NiSi’s NANO Coating technology. This multi-layer coating reduces surface reflections, which helps minimize ghosting and flare in challenging lighting. In addition, the coating includes a protective layer that makes it easy to wipe away water, dust, and oil without worrying about scratching the glass.
Importantly, the NANO Coating process achieves these benefits without introducing a color shift or causing a loss in sharpness.
