Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Precision-machined aluminum alloy ensures a snug, wobble-free fit on the lens thread.
- Compatible with a wide range of NiSi 100mm holder systems from V5 through V7 and the C4 Cinema holder.
- Doubles as a 55mm-to-82mm step-up ring for use beyond the NiSi filter system.
- Corrosion-resistant anodized finish withstands regular outdoor use in varying conditions.
👎 Cons
- Only useful if you already own or plan to purchase a NiSi 100mm filter holder system.
- 55mm is a less common filter thread size, so this specific adapter may sit unused if you change lenses.
- Does not include the 82mm main adapter ring or filter holder — those must be purchased separately.
- Adds an extra step to the filter mounting workflow compared to direct-mount systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which NiSi filter holder systems is this adapter compatible with?
It works with the NiSi V5, V5 Alpha, V5 Pro, V6, V6 Alpha, V6 Switch, V7, V7 Alpha systems, and the C4 Cinema filter holder for 4"x 4" cinema filters.
Can I use this adapter as a standard step-up ring?
Yes, it doubles as a 55mm-to-82mm step-up ring, so you can also use it to mount 82mm screw-in filters on a 55mm-threaded lens.
What material is the adapter made from?
It is constructed from anodized aluminum alloy, which provides corrosion resistance and durability while keeping the ring lightweight.
How does this adapter attach to the NiSi 100mm filter system?
It threads onto your 55mm lens and then connects to the 82mm main adapter ring on the NiSi 100mm filter holder, bridging the size difference between the two.
Will this adapter cause vignetting on my lens?
The adapter itself is a thin, low-profile ring designed to minimize vignetting. However, vignetting depends on the specific lens and filter holder combination, particularly with wide-angle lenses.
