The NiSi True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano 1-5stops Variable ND is designed to mount onto lenses with 49mm front filter threads and provides an exposure reduction of 1 to 5 stops. The 0.3 to 1.5 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing wider apertures or slower shutter speeds than usually possible. The degree of density is easily controlled by rotating the front filter ring with or without the included silver lever, helping you predetermine the additional exposure length required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you can control the depth of field and convey movement more easily. The transition of density occurs smoothly which allows the photographer or videographer to adjust exposure length to the exact amount required for a given scene. For easier, repeatable control over density settings, the front ring is visually marked with numbers representing the different stop values. The ring features silver side knurlings for a secure grip and easy installation and removal. For those using this filter with cinema or video cameras, combined adjustments of aperture and this filter allow fine adjustments of the depth of field while retaining the designated frame rate.

The Variable ND offers True Color that avoids colour shift seen in other Variable filters. The NiSi True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano 1-5stops Variable ND is made from high-definition optical glass for the best resolution and quality. The glass is coated using the NiSi Nano coating providing a waterproof, oil-proof and anti-reflective coating to avoid ghosting and reflections. The filter ring is made from high-quality aluminium creating a very light and strong filter.
We recommend focal lengths of 35mm and longer with our variable ND range.
Please note the front filter thread of this filter is 52mm and is larger to avoid vignetting on wider lenses.

FAQs
The NiSi True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano filter is designed to provide a high-definition optical glass that ensures excellent resolution and clarity in your images. Its advanced NiSi Nano coating allows for effective waterproof, oil-proof, and anti-reflective properties, which significantly reduce ghosting and reflections. This means that when using the filter, you can expect more accurate colour reproduction and sharper images, making it ideal for professional photographers and videographers looking to enhance their work.
Using a variable ND filter like the NiSi True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano allows photographers and videographers to have greater flexibility and creative control over their exposure settings. By reducing light entering the lens by 1 to 5 stops, you can achieve wider apertures for a shallower depth of field or slower shutter speeds for motion blur effects. This versatility is particularly useful in challenging lighting conditions, enabling you to manipulate exposure without changing ISO or aperture settings, thereby maintaining image quality.
When using the NiSi True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano filter, it is recommended to use focal lengths of 35mm and longer to avoid vignetting, especially on wider lenses. This is because the filter is designed with a larger 52mm front filter thread, which helps mitigate vignetting effects that can occur with shorter focal lengths. Ensure you check your lens specifications and consider the angle of view when applying the filter to achieve the best results.
The True Color feature of the NiSi ND-VARIO Pro Nano filter is designed to prevent the colour shift that is commonly associated with lesser quality variable ND filters. This characteristic ensures that your images maintain their natural colour balance, even when the filter is applied at varying densities. Photographers can rely on this feature when capturing scenes that require accurate colour reproduction, making it particularly valuable for landscape and portrait photography.
Yes, the NiSi True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano filter is well-suited for video production, as it allows for precise control over exposure while maintaining the desired frame rate. By adjusting both the aperture and the filter, you can achieve fine-tuning of the depth of field and motion blur, essential for creating cinematic effects. The smooth transition of density also makes it easy to adapt to changing lighting conditions while shooting video.
The markings on the filter ring of the NiSi ND-VARIO Pro Nano filter represent the different stop values, providing a visual reference for quick and repeatable adjustments. This feature is particularly beneficial for photographers and videographers who need to make precise changes to their exposure settings in dynamic environments. The clear markings help ensure consistency in achieving the desired effects across multiple shots.
