The NiSi Pro Nano AIR UV 86mm is a high-performance UV filter designed to protect your lens while maintaining near-air transparency. It combines NiSi’s ULRC (Ultra Low Reflective Coating) technology with premium optical glass and a durable brass frame. This filter keeps your image quality intact while shielding your gear from everyday hazards and outdoor conditions.
The Air UV Filter achieves a peak transmission of 99.9% and an average transmission of 99.6% across the 420–680nm range. With reflectivity as low as 0.1%, the filter minimizes glare and internal reflections. As a result, you preserve the natural light reaching your sensor and maintain cleaner, clearer images.
NiSi engineered this filter to support demanding imaging systems. It is compatible with cameras and lenses that exceed 100 megapixels, ensuring you retain resolution and fine detail in landscape, portrait, and commercial work. In short, the filter protects the lens without compromising sharpness or image fidelity.
The filter features a 48-layer ULRC nano-coating. This multilayer coating enhances durability and provides several protective properties:
These properties make the filter suitable for challenging outdoor environments and frequent professional use.
The NiSi Air UV Filter effectively blocks ultraviolet light below 395nm. By cutting UV transmission at that threshold, the filter helps reduce blue haze and UV-induced image interference, which improves color fidelity and clarity in bright or high-altitude shooting conditions.
The filter is made from carefully selected lens-grade optical glass. NiSi performs strict quality control on each piece. Every filter undergoes testing with a Shimadzu spectrophotometer to verify transmission and reflectivity, ensuring consistent optical performance across production units.
The Air UV Filter uses a brass frame with an ultra-thin profile and a precise knurling design. The brass construction provides better resistance to deformation compared to aluminum, and the knurling makes mounting and removal easier. Its slim frame helps prevent vignetting, even when used on ultra-wide-angle lenses.
