👎 Cons

Specifically designed for NiSi S5 filter holders, making it incompatible with other filter systems without an adapter.
The 6-stop ND is a fixed density, meaning it offers less flexibility than variable ND filters for precise light reduction.
As a screw-in type, it may be slower to swap out compared to drop-in filters in rapidly changing light conditions.
No information is provided about any protective coatings (e.g., water-repellent, anti-scratch) which could be beneficial.
Being made of optical glass, it requires careful handling to prevent smudges and potential damage from drops.
