NiSi Filter UV Armor FX Pro Nano L395 58mm – Explosion-proof laminated UV protection for your lens

The NiSi Filter UV Armor FX Pro Nano L395 58mm provides a protective, explosion-proof shield that helps keep your lens front element safe. It uses a laminated design modeled on high-end automobile windshields to avoid the formation of loose glass fragments after a strong impact. As a result, it reduces the risk of scratches to the front element and lens coatings while remaining practical in everyday shooting situations.

Key features and benefits

• Explosion-proof laminated design: prevents glass fragmentation and limits damage after impact.
• UV protection at L395: absorbs ultraviolet light below 395nm to reduce UV interference and improve image clarity.
• Optical performance: double-sided nano coatings with multi low-reflection properties, delivering up to 99% transmittance and reduced glare and ghosting.
• Durable coatings: double-sided waterproof and oil-proof surfaces that protect against dust and make cleaning easier.
• Thin-profile frame: ultra slim 3.9 mm frame with knurling for a secure grip during installation and removal.
• Practical design: front filter thread for added convenience and compatibility with additional accessories.
• Wide-angle safe: designed with no vignetting on wide-angle lenses, including at 14mm (full frame).
• Cine-grade glass: uses high-quality CINE optical glass with no loss of sharpness.

Design and build details

NiSi Armor FX adopts the explosion-proof laminated approach used in automotive front windshields. This original design comes from NiSi Explosion-Proof Cinema Filters and is widely used for high-end cinema lenses, giving filmmakers reliable protection on set.

The filter features a unique frame made of twill brass and a patented two-color design. The ultra slim 3.9 mm frame includes knurling around the edge for easy grip, which makes installing and removing the filter straightforward. Additionally, the front filter thread allows you to mount other filters or lens accessories in front of the Armor FX.

Optical performance and coatings

This UV filter absorbs ultraviolet light with wavelengths below 395nm, which helps reduce haze and improve overall image clarity caused by UV interference. Furthermore, the filter’s double-sided nano coatings feature multi low-reflection properties and achieve a 99% transmittance rate. These coatings work to minimize glare and ghosting artifacts while keeping the glass surfaces easier to clean.

Because the coatings are both waterproof and oil-proof on both sides, the filter provides added protection against dust and fingerprints. The Armor FX series also uses high-quality CINE optical glass designed to maintain sharpness so that your images show no loss of detail when the filter is in place.

Use cases

Use the NiSi UV Armor FX Pro Nano L395 58mm whenever you need reliable front-element protection combined with optical performance. It suits situations where impact protection is important, such as run-and-gun shooting, location work, or any environment where the lens may be exposed to dust or physical contact. At the same time, it maintains image clarity and minimizes optical artifacts, making it suitable for both filmmaking and photography.

FAQ

Question: Will this filter protect my lens from shattering glass fragments if it is struck?
Answer: Yes. The Armor FX uses an explosion-proof laminated design to prevent formation of loose glass fragments after a strong impact, which minimizes the risk of scratches to the front element and lens coatings.

Question: Does the filter affect image quality or sharpness?
Answer: No. The filter uses high-quality CINE optical glass and double-sided nano coatings with multi low-reflection properties. It is designed to maintain sharpness while reducing glare and ghosting and providing up to 99% transmittance.

Question: Is this filter suitable for wide-angle lenses?
Answer: Yes. The ultra slim 3.9 mm frame prevents vignetting on wide-angle lenses, including at 14mm (full frame).

Question: How do the coatings help during regular use?
Answer: The double-sided nano coatings are waterproof and oil-proof, which makes the filter easier to clean and helps protect the glass from dust and fingerprints while reducing reflections and artifacts.
