The NiSi Square Nano IRND ND8 (3 stops) is a 100x100mm neutral density filter designed to let you use longer exposures while preserving accurate color. It uses high definition optical glass with double-sided nano coating technology to maintain image detail and resist marks. The built-in infrared protection helps prevent unwanted red casts when shooting at small apertures.
This NiSi Nano IR Neutral Density filter is specially designed for landscape photographers who need controlled exposure without altering color. By reducing incoming light by three stops, it allows longer shutter speeds to capture motion, create smooth water and cloud effects, or enable wider apertures in bright conditions. At the same time, the IR coating helps keep colors true to life.
NiSi produces this filter from high definition optical glass rather than resin. Moreover, the filter features nano coating on both sides. As a result, the filter delivers ultra low colour cast and ultra low reflection while protecting fine image detail. The nano coating also repels water and oil, which makes cleaning easier and helps keep the filter clear in challenging conditions.
Neutral density filters reduce visible light, but they can make the camera more vulnerable to infrared light. That vulnerability can cause a red color cast in photos, especially when shooting at small apertures. NiSi added an infrared protection coating layer to this filter to reduce IR transmission, helping to restore natural colors and avoid unwanted red tints in your images.

Question: What does the ND8 (3 stops) filter do?
Answer: The ND8 reduces incoming visible light by three stops, allowing longer exposure times for creative effects while helping to keep colors accurate thanks to the IR protection coating.
Question: Is the filter made of resin or glass?
Answer: The NiSi Nano IRND is made from high definition optical glass (H-K9L), not resin, which preserves detail and optical quality.
Question: How does the nano coating help me in the field?
Answer: The double-sided nano coating provides ultra low reflection and ultra low color cast. It also repels water and oil, which makes the filter easier to clean and maintain during outdoor shoots.
Question: Will this filter cause vignetting on my lenses?
Answer: The filter is specified to produce no vignetting, helping to maintain even illumination across the frame when used in compatible filter holders and setups.
Question: Which ND strengths can I choose from in the 100x100mm size?
Answer: You can choose from a wide range of stops in the 100x100mm size: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15 and 20 stop, depending on the exposure control you need.
The NiSi Square Nano IRND ND8 100x100mm delivers controlled exposure, IR protection, and durable nano coatings—making it a practical choice for landscape photographers who prioritise color fidelity and image detail.
