NiSi Filter ND-Vario 1-5 Stops True Color 82mm

NiSi Filter ND-Vario 1-5 Stops True Color 82mm – Variable ND with True Color and stepless 1–5 stop control

The NiSi Filter ND-Vario 1-5 Stops True Color 82mm is a variable neutral density filter that delivers stepless exposure reduction from 1 to 5 EV while avoiding the color shifts commonly seen in other variable filters. It uses high-definition optical glass and an advanced nano coating to maintain image quality and simplify cleaning.

Key benefits and intended use

This filter helps you control the amount of light entering the lens so you can use larger apertures or longer shutter speeds under bright conditions. Photographers and videographers can adjust exposure precisely by rotating the front ring, making it useful for both stills and cinema/video work. Combined adjustments of aperture and this filter allow fine control of depth of field while keeping your chosen frame rate.

How the control works

You change density steplessly by turning the front filter ring. The ring is visually marked with numbers that represent stop values for easier, repeatable control. It also has built-in hard stops at each end so you can quickly feel or set the end positions during action use.

Design and handling

• The front ring features silver side knurlings for a secure grip and easy installation and removal.
• An optional rotating silver lever is included and can be removed if you prefer not to use it.
• A thin filter ring reduces the risk of vignetting when used on wide-angle lenses.
• The filter ring is made from high-quality aluminum to create a light and strong filter body.

Optical and coating features

The filter uses high-definition optical glass for clear resolution and a True Color result that avoids the color shift seen in many other variable filters. An advanced nano coating repels water, grease and dirt, making the filter easier to clean and maintaining optical performance. The coating is also anti-reflective to help reduce unwanted reflections.

Practical points and included items

• Includes front protection to protect the filter surface.
• Comes with a small bag for storage and transport.
• Marked ring and hard stops help you preset density quickly in active shooting situations.
• Recommended for use on lenses with a focal length of 35 mm or more (full frame) for best results.

FAQ

Question: What exposure control does this filter provide?
Answer: You can reduce exposure by 1 to 5 stops using a stepless control. The front ring is marked with stop values for repeatable settings and includes hard stops at each end so you know the end positions during action use.

Question: Will this filter change my colors or cause the “X” pattern?
Answer: The NiSi True Color design avoids the color shift seen in many variable filters, and the product is specified to produce no “X” effect.

Question: What materials and coatings are used?
Answer: The filter uses high-definition optical glass and a nano coating that repels water, grease and dirt while providing anti-reflective properties for easier cleaning and reliable image quality.

Question: What comes in the box and how do I handle the filter?
Answer: The filter includes front protection and a small bag for storage. The front ring has silver side knurlings for a secure grip and an optional rotating lever that can be removed if you prefer direct ring control.

Question: Which lenses is this filter recommended for?
Answer: For best results, the manufacturer recommends using a variable ND filter on lenses with a focal length of 35 mm or more on full-frame cameras. The thin ring design and larger front thread also help reduce vignetting on wider lenses.
