The NiSi UV Armor FX Pro Nano L395 77mm provides a robust protective shield for your lens. It uses an explosion-proof laminated construction similar to high-end automobile front windshields. As a result, the filter can crack under strong impact without shattering into loose glass fragments, reducing the risk of scratches to the front element and lens coatings.
This design originates from NiSi’s Explosion-Proof Cinema Filters and is widely used on high-end cinema lenses. Therefore, the Armor FX Pro Nano is suitable when you need reliable mechanical protection during demanding shoots. It protects the lens in many shooting conditions while keeping optical performance intact.
The filter features a unique twill brass frame and a patented two-color design. You can install and remove it easily thanks to this construction. Furthermore, the ultra-slim 3.9 mm frame includes knurling for a secure grip. Because of its slim profile, the filter shows no vignetting on wide-angle lenses, including at 14mm on full-frame cameras.
The UV element of this filter absorbs ultraviolet light with wavelengths below 395 nm. This absorption reduces UV-light interference and improves image clarity. NiSi uses high-quality CINE optical glass in the Armor FX series, which maintains sharpness without loss.
NiSi applies double-sided nano coatings with multi low-reflection layers. These coatings deliver a 99% transmittance rate and provide maximum reduction of glare and ghosting artifacts. In addition, the coatings make the filter double-sided waterproof and oil-proof, helping to protect the lens from dust and damage while making the surface super-easy to clean. The filter also includes a front filter thread for added convenience when stacking accessories.

Question: Will this filter protect my lens from impact?
Answer: Yes. The explosion-proof laminated design prevents the formation of loose glass fragments if the filter cracks, which minimizes the risk of scratches to the lens front element and its coatings.
Question: Will it cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
Answer: No. The ultra-slim 3.9 mm frame avoids vignetting, and the specification explicitly notes no vignetting on wide-angle lenses, including 14mm on full-frame cameras.
Question: How does this filter affect image clarity and reflections?
Answer: The UV element absorbs wavelengths below 395 nm to reduce UV interference and improve clarity. Double-sided nano coatings with multi low-reflection layers increase transmittance (99%) and reduce glare and ghosting artifacts.
Question: Is the filter easy to handle and maintain?
Answer: Yes. The twill brass frame with patented two-color design and knurling makes installation and removal straightforward. The double-sided waterproof and oil-proof nano coatings make the surface easy to clean and help protect the lens from dust and damage.
Question: Is this design used on professional cinema lenses?
Answer: Yes. The Armor FX design originates from NiSi Explosion-Proof Cinema Filters and is widely used for high-end cinema lenses, providing a cinema-grade approach to lens protection.
