NiSi Square Nano IRND 150x150mm ND1000 10Stops

NiSi Square Nano IRND 150x150mm ND1000 (10 Stops) – Infrared Protection and Nano Coating

The NiSi Square Nano IRND 150x150mm ND1000 (10 stops) is a neutral density filter made from high definition optical glass. It lets you use longer exposure times for creative photography while the IR protection and double-sided nano coating help preserve true-to-life color and fine detail.

Designed for landscape photographers

This filter is specially designed for landscape photographers who need controlled exposure and preserved color fidelity. Because it reduces incoming light, you can create longer exposures to smooth water, blur clouds, or compress motion while keeping image detail intact.

Materials and coatings

The filter is made from high quality optical glass (not resin). NiSi applies nano coating on both sides to protect detail and reduce reflections. In addition, the filter includes an infrared protection coating layer to reduce infrared contamination that can cause a red color cast at small apertures.

How the neutral density and IR protection work

Neutral density filters reduce the amount of visible light entering the lens so you can use slower shutter speeds or wider apertures. Importantly, these neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image. However, cameras can be vulnerable to infrared light at small apertures, which may introduce an unwanted red cast. NiSi added an infrared protection coating to this filter to help eliminate that infrared light, restoring more natural color reproduction.

Available stops and sizes

The NiSi Nano IRND is available in 150x150mm format and offered in multiple density steps. This product listing specifically references the ND1000 10-stop version, and the series is also produced in other stop values for different creative needs.

• Available aperture steps (stops): 2 stop, 3 stop, 4 stop, 5 stop, 6 stop, 10 stop, and 15 stop

Key characteristics

• Ultra Low Colour Cast, Ultra Low Reflection
• No Vignetting
• High Definition
• Nano Coating on Both Sides, Water & Oil Repellent
• Environmental Optical Lens glass (H-K9L)

Use cases and benefits

Use this NiSi ND1000 filter when you want longer exposures without changing image coloration. The infrared protection layer helps maintain natural color when shooting at small apertures. Also, the double-sided nano coating repels water and oil and minimizes reflections, which supports consistent image quality in varied outdoor conditions.

FAQ

• Question: Will this filter change the color of my images?
  Answer: Neutral density filters do not affect coloration, and this NiSi Nano IRND includes an infrared protection coating to reduce infrared-induced red cast so colors remain true to life.
• Question: What material is the filter made from?
  Answer: The filter is made from high quality environmental optical lens glass (H-K9L), not resin, and features nano coating on both sides.
• Question: Which stops and sizes are available?
  Answer: This product is available in 150x150mm size and the series includes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, and 15 stop options, with ND1000 corresponding to the 10-stop version.
• Question: Will the filter cause vignetting or reflections?
  Answer: The NiSi Nano IRND is specified as having no vignetting and ultra low reflection properties, which helps preserve image edges and overall contrast.
• Question: How does the nano coating help in the field?
  Answer: The nano coating on both sides repels water and oil and reduces reflections, making the filter easier to keep clean and helping maintain high definition image quality in outdoor shooting.
