Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Effectively blocks both UV and IR contamination in a single filter, eliminating color casts on unfiltered sensors
- High-definition optical glass with nano coating maintains sharpness and reduces flare
- Waterproof and scratch-resistant coating makes it durable for field use and easy to clean
- Quick press-on friction mount allows faster filter changes than traditional threaded filters
- Designed to stack cleanly with the NiSi True Color VND without vignetting
👎 Cons
- Only compatible with the NiSi Swift System — cannot be threaded onto standard filter rings without the Swift adapter
- Limited to 82mm size, requiring the specific Swift adapter if your lens has a different thread size
- Friction-mount design may feel less secure than threaded filters in high-movement shooting situations
- Only necessary for cameras without built-in IR filtration, making it a niche purchase for most photographers
Frequently Asked Questions
Which cameras need this UV/IR cut filter?
This filter is designed for cameras that do NOT have a built-in IR filter in front of the sensor, such as full-spectrum modified cameras or certain cinema cameras that ship without internal IR protection.
How does this filter mount to my lens?
It uses a friction-mounted, press-on design compatible with the NiSi 82mm Swift System adapter ring. It does not thread onto standard lens filter threads directly — you need the Swift adapter or a NiSi True Color VND to stack it on.
Can I use this filter stacked with the NiSi True Color VND?
Yes, it is specifically designed to stack over the NiSi 82mm True Color VND 1-5 stops filter, or it can be used individually with the 82mm Swift Adapter ring.
What wavelengths does this filter block?
It cuts UV rays below 390nm and infrared rays above 700nm, allowing only the visible light spectrum to pass through to the sensor.
Does the nano coating affect image quality?
The NiSi Nano Coating is designed to minimize reflections and flare while providing waterproof and scratch-resistant properties, so it preserves image sharpness without introducing unwanted artifacts.
