Article no.: 28863
This NiSi Swift Add On Kit for 82mm lenses contains the ND16 (4-stop) and the Black Mist 1/4 Swift filters, plus the Swift adapter ring and protective accessories. Use the filters by themselves or combine them with the NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stops filter for extended control over exposure and look. The kit ships with a front protection and a small storage bag for convenient transport and safekeeping.
The Swift filters mount quickly and simply: just push them on. You can use the ND16 and Black Mist as stand-alone filters. Alternatively, you can add them to the NiSi Swift system adapter ring or stack them onto the NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stops filter.
When you combine the NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stops filter with the NiSi Swift System ND16 (4 stop), you create a variable ND range equivalent to 5–9 stops. You can also place the NiSi Swift System Black Mist 1/4 in front of that combination, or mount the Black Mist directly on the VND 1-5 stop filter for diffusion.

Question: Can I use the ND16 and Black Mist filters by themselves?
Answer: Yes. Both the ND16 (4-stop) and the Black Mist 1/4 can be used as stand-alone filters. They also work together or with the NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stops filter when you need additional control.
Question: How do I mount these filters on my lens?
Answer: The Swift filters mount with a push-on action. Use the NiSi Swift adapter ring when you are not mounting them onto the NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stops filter, and simply push the filter into place for quick changes.
Question: What happens if I combine the ND16 with the NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stops filter?
Answer: Combining the NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stops with the NiSi Swift System ND16 (4 stop) yields a variable ND range of approximately 5–9 stops, giving you extended exposure control beyond the VND alone.
Question: Which focal lengths are safe to use without vignetting when stacking these filters?
Answer: NiSi provides guidance: the True Color VND 1-5 stop alone is suitable down to 16mm (Full Frame) without vignetting. Paired with the Swift ND16 it is suitable down to 18mm, and with both the Swift ND16 and Swift Black Mist 1/4 it is suitable down to 20mm (Full Frame).
If you need a different thread size, note that this kit is listed for 82mm and NiSi also offers the same kit in 67, 72, 77, 82 and 95mm sizes.
