NiSi Filter UV Armor FX Pro Nano L395 72mm

NiSi Filter UV Armor FX Pro Nano L395 72mm – Explosion-Proof Protective UV Shield

The NiSi UV Armor FX Pro Nano L395 72mm protects your lens with an explosion-proof laminated design. It reduces the risk of glass fragments and shields the front element and coatings from scratches. In addition, it filters ultraviolet light below 395nm to improve image clarity.

Design and impact protection

NiSi Armor FX uses an explosion-proof laminated construction inspired by high-end automobile front windshields. This construction keeps the filter intact when subjected to strong impact: the glass can crack without shattering into loose fragments. As a result, the filter minimizes the chance of glass shards reaching or damaging the lens surface or its coatings.

Moreover, this filter represents NiSi’s original explosion-proof cinema filter design, which is widely used for high-end cinema lenses. The Armor FX series features a unique twill brass frame and a patented two-color design that helps with quick installation and removal.

Frame, handling and mounting

• Ultra slim 3.9 mm frame with knurling for an easy grip.
• Patented two-color twill brass frame for straightforward installation and removal.
• Front filter thread for added convenience when stacking accessories.
• No vignetting on wide angle lenses, including at 14mm (full frame).

Optical properties and coatings

The UV Armor FX Pro Nano L395 absorbs ultraviolet light with wavelengths below 395nm, reducing UV interference and helping to improve image clarity. The filter uses double-sided nano coatings with multi low-reflection layers to reduce glare and ghosting artifacts.

These coatings also make the filter double-sided waterproof and oil-proof, which helps keep dust and contaminants off the glass and makes the filter easy to clean. The Armor FX series uses high-quality CINE optical glass designed to provide protection without loss of sharpness.

Use cases

Use this filter to protect your lens in challenging shooting environments, especially when you need robust front-element protection combined with UV filtration. It is well suited for filmmakers and cinematographers using high-end cinema lenses, and for any photographer who wants both a protective shield and UV reduction.
