NiSi Cine Filter Nano IR GND Soft 6x6"""" 0.6

NiSi Cine Filter Nano IR GND Soft 6x6" 0.6 – Soft-Edge Graduated IRND Optimized for Digital Sensors

This NiSi Cine Nano IR GND Soft 6x6" 0.6 filter darkens specific areas of a scene, such as bright skies, while leaving the rest of the frame with normal exposure. The filter is densest at one edge and tapers to clear toward the middle, with a soft-edged transition line between the dense and clear areas.

Optimized design for digital sensors and color neutrality

The filter design has been optimized for use with digital sensors. Each surface receives one layer of NiSi Optical Nano Coating to attenuate both infrared and visible wavelengths. As a result, the filter promotes nearly flat attenuation across visible and infrared light, helping to avoid color casts and maintain truer blacks during longer exposures.

What the filter does and how it behaves

• Darkens bright areas: Graduated neutral density action reduces brightness in parts of the frame, for example skies, while leaving other regions unaffected.
• Soft-edge transition: The filter features a soft-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areas for smoother blending in images.
• Color neutrality: Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image, and the Nano coating further helps eliminate color casts.
• Infrared attenuation: The Optical Nano Coating attenuates infrared light as well as visible wavelengths to maintain color neutrality and suppress color shifts from extended exposure times.

Construction and handling

• Optical glass construction: The filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity and color fidelity.
• Durable surface: The glass includes scratch resistance for everyday use.
• Easy maintenance: The filter is easy to clean.
• Thickness: This filter is 4mm thick.
• Storage: A leatherette pouch is included for storage and transport.

Use cases

Use this soft-edge graduated IRND filter when you need to reduce brightness in a portion of the frame—commonly skies—without affecting exposure elsewhere. It works well alongside other filters and suits digital workflows where infrared attenuation and color neutrality are important.

FAQ

question What does this filter do?
Answer It darkens specific areas of an image, such as bright skies, while allowing a normal exposure in the other regions of the frame by tapering from dense at the edge to clear toward the middle with a soft transition.

question Will this filter change my image colors?
Answer Neutral density filters do not affect image coloration. Additionally, each surface of this filter includes a NiSi Optical Nano Coating that attenuates infrared and visible wavelengths to maintain color neutrality and reduce color casts.

question Is the filter suitable for digital sensors?
Answer Yes. The design has been optimized specifically for use with digital sensors and to promote nearly flat attenuation of visible and infrared light.

question What comes in the box and how do I protect the filter?
Answer The filter is 4mm thick, constructed from optical glass, includes scratch-resistant surfaces, and comes with a leatherette pouch for storage and transport; it is also easy to clean for ongoing maintenance.
