NiSi Filter UV Armor FX Pro Nano L395 86mm

NiSi Filter UV Armor FX Pro Nano L395 86mm – Explosion-Proof UV Protection for Cinema and Still Lenses

The NiSi Filter UV Armor FX Pro Nano L395 86mm gives your front lens element reliable protection while reducing ultraviolet interference. It uses an explosion-proof laminated structure to prevent glass fragments and to protect lens coatings. The filter balances protection with optical performance for both cinema and still photography use.

Explosion-proof laminated design

NiSi adopts an explosion-proof laminated design similar to high-end automobile windshields. As a result, the filter can crack under strong impact without shattering into loose glass pieces. This construction minimizes the risk of glass fragments scratching the front lens element and lens coatings. Therefore, the filter helps protect your lens in varied shooting conditions.

Frame design and handling

• The filter features a unique frame made of twill Brass with a patented two-color design, making it easy to install and remove.
• It has an ultra-slim 3.9 mm frame with knurling for a secure grip during mounting and dismounting.
• A front filter thread provides added convenience when attaching additional filters or accessories.
• The ultra-slim frame prevents vignetting on wide-angle lenses, including operation at 14mm on full-frame cameras.

Optical and UV performance

This UV-filter absorbs ultraviolet light with wavelengths below 395 nm to reduce UV-light interference and improve image clarity. NiSi uses high-quality CINE optical glass to maintain image sharpness, ensuring the filter preserves the lens’s resolving power without introducing detectable softness.

Coatings and surface protection

Both sides of the glass receive double-sided nano coatings with multi-layer low-reflection treatments. These coatings deliver a high transmittance rate of 99% and aim to reduce glare and ghosting artifacts. In addition, the nano coatings provide waterproof and oil-proof properties, which help repel dust, water, and fingerprints and make the filter easy to clean.

Who should consider this filter?

• Filmmakers and cinematographers who use high-end cinema lenses and require a filter design compatible with that workflow.
• Photographers who need UV protection and dust/water resistance without sacrificing sharpness, even on wide-angle lenses.
• Anyone seeking a protective front element solution that limits glass fragment risks after impact.

FAQ

Question: Will this filter protect my lens from shattering if it is hit?
Answer: The explosion-proof laminated design prevents glass from breaking into loose fragments. The filter can crack under strong impact but is constructed to remain in place, which reduces the chance of fragment-related scratches to the front element and coatings.

Question: Does the filter affect image sharpness or introduce vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
Answer: The filter uses CINE optical glass designed for no loss of sharpness. Its ultra-slim 3.9 mm frame is specifically made to avoid vignetting on wide-angle lenses, including 14mm on full-frame cameras.

Question: How do the coatings help in practical shooting situations?
Answer: The double-sided nano coatings provide multi low-reflection performance and 99% transmittance to reduce glare and ghosting. They also make the surface waterproof and oil-proof, which helps repel dust, water, and fingerprints and makes cleaning faster and easier.

Question: Can I mount additional filters or accessories on the front?
Answer: Yes, the filter includes a front filter thread to allow mounting of additional filters or accessories for further creative or protective use.
