The NiSi Filter UV Armor FX Pro Nano L395 67mm protects your lens while improving image clarity. It uses an explosion-proof laminated design that prevents glass from shattering into fragments after strong impact. At the same time, it absorbs ultraviolet light below 395 nm to reduce UV interference in your images.
NiSi Armor FX adopts the same laminated approach used in high-end automobile front windshields. Consequently, the filter is constructed to avoid the formation of loose glass fragments if it is subjected to a strong impact. This design minimizes the risk of scratches to the front element and lens coatings, and helps keep the lens surface intact even when the filter is cracked.
The Armor FX series features a distinctive frame made of twill brass with a patented two-color design. This frame makes it easy to install and remove the filter. In addition, the model uses an ultra-slim 3.9 mm frame profile and knurling for an improved grip.
This UV filter absorbs ultraviolet light with wavelengths below 395 nm. As a result, it reduces UV-light interference and improves image clarity in situations where UV contributes to haze or color shifting. The filter uses high-quality CINE optical glass that NiSi specifies as providing no loss of sharpness.
The glass receives double-sided nano coatings designed for multi-layer low reflection. These coatings aim to reduce glare and ghosting artifacts while providing a high transmittance rate. In practice, the coatings are also double-sided waterproof and oil-proof, which helps protect the glass from dust and damage and makes the surface super-easy to clean.
Because of its explosion-proof laminated design and protective coatings, the filter serves as a reliable shield for your lens in a variety of shooting scenarios. NiSi notes that this originate design from their Explosion-Proof Cinema Filters is widely used for high-end cinema lenses, making it suitable for demanding video and still photography environments where lens protection and image integrity matter.

question: Will the filter protect my lens if it receives a strong impact?
Answer: Yes. The filter uses an explosion-proof laminated design that can remain cracked without shattering, which minimizes the formation of loose glass fragments and reduces the risk of scratches to the front element and lens coatings.
question: Does this filter affect image sharpness or cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
Answer: The filter is made from NiSi's CINE optical glass, which is stated to provide no loss of sharpness. Additionally, the ultra-slim 3.9 mm frame is designed to avoid vignetting on wide-angle lenses, including at 14mm full-frame.
question: How does the filter handle reflections, glare and cleaning?
Answer: The double-sided nano coatings feature multi low-reflection properties to reduce glare and ghosting. Those same nano coatings are double-sided waterproof and oil-proof, which makes the surface easier to clean and helps protect against dust and damage.
question: Can I attach accessories to the filter?
Answer: Yes. The filter includes a front filter thread for added convenience when mounting accessories or additional filters.
