Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Hardened glass construction resists scratches and accidental damage better than resin alternatives
- IR coating effectively eliminates the warm color cast common in many ND filters
- Neutral color rendition preserves accurate tones without post-processing correction
- Compatible with multiple 100mm filter holder systems, not limited to NiSi holders
- 3-stop density is a versatile middle-ground strength for a wide range of lighting conditions
👎 Cons
- Square 100x100mm format requires a separate filter holder system, adding cost for new users
- Only available in a single 3-stop density, so additional filters are needed for heavier light reduction
- The 100x100mm size does not fit smaller filter holder systems like 75mm or 85mm setups
- Premium hardened glass construction comes at a higher price point than budget resin ND filters
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 3-stop (ND8) density mean for exposure?
A 3-stop reduction means the filter allows only 1/8th of the light through, letting you use shutter speeds roughly 8 times longer than without the filter — ideal for smoothing water or capturing cloud movement.
Does this filter introduce a color cast?
NiSi's IR coating is specifically designed to block infrared light contamination, which is the primary cause of color cast in ND filters. Users can expect neutral, true-to-life color reproduction.
What filter holder systems is this compatible with?
It fits the NiSi 100mm filter holder system and any third-party system that accepts 100x100mm square filters with a 2mm thickness.
How durable is the hardened glass construction?
The filter is made from hardened optical glass that is significantly more resistant to scratches and accidental impacts than standard glass or resin filters, making it suitable for outdoor and adventure photography.
Can this filter be stacked with other 100mm filters?
Yes, it can be stacked with other 100x100mm filters such as graduated ND filters in a compatible holder, though stacking multiple filters may increase the risk of vignetting on wider focal lengths.
