NiSi Filter Swift System FS ND Kit (8+64+1000) 52-62mm

NiSi Filter Swift System FS ND Kit (FS ND8+FS ND64+FS ND1000) – Quickly change or stack ND filters for photography and video

Push the NiSi Swift FS ND filters onto your lens to change or stack neutral density (ND) stops quickly. You can swap the FS ND8, FS ND64 and FS ND1000 in seconds to match the light in each scene. This makes the kit useful for both photography and video, since it lets you control how much light enters the lens for any given shot.

Control exposure to use wider apertures and slower shutter speeds

By reducing incoming light, these ND filters let you use larger apertures and/or longer shutter speeds than would otherwise be possible under current lighting conditions. In practice, that helps you achieve shallower depth of field in bright light or smooth motion blur for creative video and long-exposure photography.

Filter details and identification

• Full-Spectrum ND Filters for pure neutral colors to capture true-to-life images.
• Different colored frames for easy identification of each filter strength:
  • Blue = FS ND8 = 3 Stops
  • Green = FS ND64 = 6 Stops
  • Orange = FS ND1000 = 10 Stops
• Compatible to use with all filters in the NiSi Swift system.

Compatibility and adapter rings

This kit fits lenses with 52, 55, 58 and 62 mm filter threads using the included adapter rings. In addition, NiSi offers Swift kits for lenses with filter threads ranging from 40.5 mm to 95 mm, so you can find a kit to match many lens sizes. The new NiSi Swift adapter rings in the kit let different filter-thread lenses use the same Swift FS ND filters, reducing the need to buy multiple filter sizes.

Vignetting and stacking limits

NiSi specifies the following guidance for wide-angle use on full-frame lenses without vignetting:

• One NiSi Swift FS ND filter: usable down to 16mm focal length (Full Frame) without vignetting.
• Two NiSi Swift FS ND filters stacked: usable down to 17mm focal length (Full Frame) without vignetting.
• Three NiSi Swift FS ND filters stacked: usable down to 19mm focal length (Full Frame) without vignetting.

Construction and surface treatment

NiSi applies an advanced nano coating that repels water, grease and dirt, making the filters easier to clean. The filters use a thin filter ring to reduce the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses. Also, the filter ring is made from high-quality aluminum, which creates a very light and strong filter.

FAQ

Question: Will this kit fit my lens if it has a 52 mm thread?
Answer: Yes. The kit includes an adapter ring for 52 mm filter threads, so you can mount the Swift FS ND filters on that lens size.

Question: Can I stack all three filters and still avoid vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
Answer: You can stack up to three Swift FS ND filters, but NiSi recommends focal length limits to avoid vignetting on full-frame sensors: with three filters the safe limit is down to 19mm, with two filters down to 17mm, and with one filter down to 16mm.

Question: How do I identify the different ND strengths quickly on set?
Answer: Each filter has a different colored frame for instant visual identification: blue for ND8 (3 Stops), green for ND64 (6 Stops) and orange for ND1000 (10 Stops).

Question: Are these filters easy to clean after use outdoors?
Answer: Yes. The filters use an advanced nano coating that repels water, grease and dirt, which helps keep them cleaner and makes routine cleaning easier.

Question: Can I use these filters with other NiSi Swift system filters?
Answer: Yes. The Swift FS ND filters are compatible with all filters in the NiSi Swift system, allowing you to mix and match as needed for your workflow.
