NiSi V7 100mm Filter Holder — build and handling

The NiSi Filter Holder V7 for the 100mm system is made from highest quality aluminum and finished in a matte black frosted surface to minimize reflection. You can rotate the CPL 360 degrees and lock it in position using a newly designed locking screw, which is useful when working with graduated ND filters. An easily accessible adjustment wheel on the back lets you spin the polarization filter even when the holder is full of other filters.

The V7 holder is compatible with wide-angle use and can be mounted on lenses with focal lengths as short as 15 mm on full frame cameras. The product text specifically mentions use with lenses such as a 16–35 mm f/2.8 wide-angle zoom without risk of vignetting. Supplied adapter rings (67 mm, 72 mm, 77 mm and 82 mm) allow you to attach the holder to a range of lenses.

True Color CPL (ultra-thin 86 mm)

The kit includes an ultra-thin 86 mm True Color polarization filter made from exclusive polarizing film. This CPL is designed to prevent the yellow color cast that can occur with many other polarizers. Installation and removal of the CPL in the holder are fast and convenient, helping you change setup quickly on location.

Natural Night — reduce light pollution wavelengths

The NiSi Natural Night Filter is NiSi’s dedicated filter for night photography. It targets and blocks many of the unwanted wavelengths emitted by common light pollution sources such as mercury vapor, sodium and low-CRI streetlights. By reducing these wavelengths, the Natural Night Filter helps prevent the glow from artificial lighting from polluting the night sky, allowing your camera to capture the sky more accurately.

Star Soft — emphasize stars while preserving the foreground

The NiSi 100x150mm Star Soft Filter is designed for astrophotography to make stars appear larger and constellations more prominent. Brighter stars appear bigger, increasing visual impact in night sky images. The Star Soft filter is constructed like a graduated ND: the top 100 mm of the filter provides the full star-enhancing effect, while the bottom 50 mm remains clear so the foreground is unaffected. If desired, you can slide the filter down in the holder to apply the effect over the entire scene.

The Star Soft Filter does not cause light loss and maintains a neutral tone without adding a color cast. It is compatible with NiSi 100mm holders and any holder that supports 100mm wide filters at 2mm thickness.

NiSi Caddy Pro100 — protection and portability

The NiSi Caddy 100mm Filter Pouch is made for the NiSi 100mm system. It will hold up to 4 x 100x100mm filters and 5 x 100x150mm filters. The pouch features an adjustable cross-body sling strap and can be carried as a shoulder bag, messenger bag or waist bag. You can also mount it on a tripod leg for quick access while shooting.

The pouch uses a lightweight material to protect filters from scratches and includes a flip-top design so the pouch stays open when in use. The Caddy can hold a NiSi 100mm V7 holder in the first slot, which reduces the available filter slots to eight when the holder is stored in the pouch.

Value note

The product description states that the NiSi Starter Kit 100mm System V7 also represents a great saving compared to buying all the included items separately.

FAQ

Question: Will the V7 holder cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses?

Answer: Yes. The holder has a 360-degree rotation and a newly designed locking screw, plus an adjustment wheel on the back that lets you rotate the polarization filter even when other filters are mounted.

Question: How does the Star Soft filter affect foregrounds and stars?
Answer: The Star Soft filter provides full effect over the top 100 mm while leaving the bottom 50 mm clear so the foreground remains unaffected; you can also move the filter down in the holder if you prefer the effect across the entire scene.

Question: How many filters can the Caddy Pro100 hold and can it carry the V7 holder?
Answer: The pouch is designed to hold 4 x 100x100mm and 5 x 100x150mm filters. It can also hold the V7 holder in the first slot, reducing the total filter slots to eight when the holder is stored there.

Question: Does the Natural Night filter change colors or reduce exposure?
Answer: The Natural Night filter is designed to block common wavelengths of light pollution to improve night sky capture; the description does not state that it adds a color cast or reduces light, only that it blocks undesirable wavelengths from sources like mercury vapor, sodium and low-CRI streetlights.
