NiSi Filter UV Armor FX Pro Nano L395 82mm

NiSi Filter UV Armor FX Pro Nano L395 82mm – Explosion-proof protection for your lens

The NiSi Filter UV Armor FX Pro Nano L395 82mm gives your lens a robust protective shield. Its explosion-proof laminated design can remain cracked without shattering when subjected to strong impact, reducing the risk of loose shards reaching the front element.

Design and impact protection

NiSi Armor FX uses an explosion-proof laminated structure inspired by high-end automobile front windshields. As a result, the filter resists break-up into sharp fragments and minimizes the chance of scratches to the front element and lens coatings. Therefore, you get reliable physical protection when shooting in demanding environments and varied scenes.

Origin and cinema-grade intent

This is the original design from NiSi Explosion-Proof Cinema Filters. Consequently, the Armor FX series is widely used for high-end cinema lenses and builds on that cinema-grade approach for stills and video workflows as well.

Frame, fit and handling

The Armor FX series features a unique frame made of twill Brass and a patented two-color design. The frame makes it easier to install and remove the filter. In addition, the ultra-slim 3.9 mm profile with knurling provides a secure grip during handling.

• Ultra slim 3.9 mm frame for compact fit.
• Knurling on the frame for improved grip.
• Front filter thread for added convenience when stacking accessories.
• No vignetting on wide-angle lenses, including 14mm on full-frame cameras.

Optical performance and UV protection

This UV filter absorbs ultraviolet light with wavelengths below 395 nm (L395). By reducing UV interference, it improves image clarity and helps maintain accurate rendering in outdoor shooting conditions.

The filter uses high-quality CINE optical glass designed to maintain sharpness. In practice, you protect the lens front while keeping optical performance intact.

Coatings, transmittance and maintenance

NiSi applies double-sided nano coatings that deliver multi-layer low-reflection performance. These coatings provide up to 99% transmittance, which helps reduce glare and ghosting artifacts for cleaner images.

Additionally, the coatings are double-sided waterproof and oil-proof. They protect the glass from dust and damage and make the filter super-easy to clean after use in challenging conditions.
