NiSi Cine Filter Nano IRND 6x6"""" 1.8

NiSi Cine Filter Nano IRND 6x6" 1.8 – Neutral density for longer exposures and wider apertures

This NiSi Cine Filter Nano IRND 6x6" 1.8 reduces exposure and darkens the entire image, so you can shoot with a wider aperture or a slower shutter speed than normally required. By slowing exposure time or increasing aperture, you gain better control over depth of field and can convey movement more easily.

How the filter works

The filter provides neutral density attenuation while aiming to preserve true colors. It is designed to limit both visible and infrared light so that color casts are minimized during longer exposures. Each surface receives a layer of NiSi Optical Nano Coating to support neutrality across visible and infrared spectrums.

Key features

• Constructed from optical glass for clarity and color fidelity.
• Neutral density element darkens the image, allowing longer shutter speeds or wider apertures than normally required.
• Helps you control depth of field and convey movement more easily by permitting slower shutter speeds or larger apertures.
• Designed not to affect the coloration of the image and ideal for use with other filters.
• Each surface includes one layer of NiSi Optical Nano Coating that attenuates infrared light as well as visible wavelengths to maintain color neutrality and suppress color casts caused by increased exposure times.
• Scratch resistance for improved surface durability.
• Filter thickness: 4mm.
• Leatherette pouch included for storage and transport.

Optimized for digital sensors

The filter's design targets digital-sensor workflows by promoting nearly flat attenuation of visible and infrared light. This optimization supports cleaner and truer blacks when using the NiSi Nano IRND Filter, helping preserve the image characteristics you expect when extending exposure or opening aperture.

Use cases

• Shooting with a wider aperture to achieve shallower depth of field while maintaining correct exposure.
• Using slower shutter speeds to capture motion blur and convey movement in scenes.
• Stacking with other filters, since the neutral density element is intended not to affect coloration.

FAQ

Question: Does this filter affect image coloration?
Answer: No. NiSi neutral density filters are intended not to affect coloration, and the Nano IRND uses coatings and design decisions to help maintain color neutrality.

Question: Is this filter suitable for digital sensors?
Answer: Yes. The NiSi Nano IRND is optimized for use with digital sensors and promotes nearly flat attenuation of visible and infrared light to reduce color casts during extended exposures.

Question: What practical benefits does the ND 1.8 provide?
Answer: The filter darkens the entire image, which allows you to use a longer shutter speed or a wider aperture than normally required. That makes it easier to control depth of field and to convey movement through motion blur.

Question: What is included with the filter and how durable is it?
Answer: The filter comes with a leatherette pouch for storage and transport. It is constructed from optical glass and includes scratch resistance to help protect the surface.
