NiSi Square Nano IRND 180x180mm ND1000 10Stops

NiSi Square Nano IRND 180x180mm ND1000 (10 Stops) – Nano Coating with IR Protection for True-to-Life Colors

The NiSi Square Nano IRND 180x180mm ND1000 (10 stops) is a neutral density filter designed to extend exposure time while preserving accurate colors. It uses high definition optical glass and double-sided Nano Coating technology. In addition, an infrared (IR) protection coating reduces unwanted IR contamination so your images retain natural, vibrant color.

Designed for landscape photographers

This filter is specially designed for landscape photographers who need longer exposures to capture motion or control depth of field. Because it is made from high quality optical glass (not resin), it preserves detail across the frame. The nano coatings help repel water and oil, and reduce reflections on both sides of the filter.

What the filter does

Neutral density filters let you use longer exposure times to create creative effects such as smooth water, motion blur in clouds, or reduced depth of field in bright light. Importantly, neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image. However, when using ND filters the camera becomes vulnerable to infrared light. That IR contamination can introduce an unwanted red cast when shooting at small apertures.

NiSi added an infrared protection coating layer to this filter to help eliminate infrared light passing through the lens. As a result, the filter helps bring back natural colors and maintains true-to-life vibrancy in your photos.

Available densities

The NiSi Nano IR Neutral Density filters in 180x180mm size are available in multiple stop options to suit different creative needs. Options include 3 stop, 6 stop and 10 stop (ND1000). This product listing is for the ND1000 10-stop version.

Technical specifications

Use cases and workflow tips

Use this ND1000 10-stop filter when you need long exposures in daylight to smooth water, blur motion, or achieve shallower depth of field. Because the filter reduces light without changing color, you can rely on consistent color reproduction. Also, the IR protection layer helps avoid red casts that sometimes appear at small apertures.

For best results, pair the filter with a suitable square filter holder and check your exposure carefully when stacking or using small apertures.

FAQ

question: Will this filter change the color of my images?
Answer: Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image. Additionally, the NiSi Nano IRND includes an IR protection coating to reduce infrared contamination and help maintain natural, true-to-life colors.

question: Is this filter made of resin or glass?
Answer: This filter is made from high quality optical glass (not resin). The product uses Environmental Optical Lens glass (H-K9L) to preserve detail and image quality.

question: Which stop options are available in this size?
Answer: NiSi offers the 180x180mm Nano IR Neutral Density filters in 3 stop, 6 stop and 10 stop options. This listing refers to the ND1000 10-stop version.

question: Will the filter cause vignetting or reflections?
Answer: The filter is specified to have no vignetting and ultra low reflection. The double-sided nano coating further reduces reflections and repels water and oil.
