NiSi Square Nano IRND 100x100mm ND256 8Stops

NiSi Square Nano IRND 100x100mm ND256 8Stops – Infrared protection for true-to-life color in long exposures

The NiSi Square Nano IR Neutral Density (ND256, 8 stops) filter lets you extend exposure time to explore creative effects while keeping colors true to life. It uses high-definition optical glass — not resin — and a dedicated infrared protection layer to avoid unwanted red casts that can appear at small apertures. This makes the filter especially suitable for landscape photographers who need long exposures without compromising color accuracy or image detail.

Why landscape photographers choose this IRND filter

• You can achieve longer exposure times for creative effects, such as smoothing water or blurring cloud movement.
• NiSi uses high-definition optical glass (H-K9L), which preserves fine detail and avoids the softness sometimes seen with resin filters.
• The filter includes an infrared protection coating that reduces infrared contamination and restores natural color when shooting at small apertures.
• Neutral density effect does not alter image coloration in normal use; the IR layer specifically addresses IR-induced color shifts.
• Double-sided nano coating provides water and oil repellency, making the filter easier to clean in the field.

Smart FAQ

question: Will this ND filter change my image colors?

Answer: Neutral density filters are designed not to affect image coloration. In practice, infrared light can cause a red cast at small apertures. This NiSi Nano IRND includes an infrared protection layer to reduce that effect and help maintain natural colors.

question: Is this filter suitable for long exposure landscape photography?

Answer: Yes. The filter lets you lengthen exposure times for effects like silky water and motion blur, while the high-definition glass and nano coatings preserve detail and resist reflections.

question: What material is the filter made from and how does that affect image quality?

Answer: The filter uses high-definition optical glass (H-K9L), not resin. This glass construction helps retain image sharpness and clarity, which is important for landscape work and high-detail scenes.

question: How do the coatings help in the field?

Answer: The double-sided nano coating reduces reflections and repels water and oil, which makes cleaning easier and helps maintain consistent performance in varied shooting conditions.
