Product Overview

The NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated 0.3 Filter (1 Stop) is a graduated neutral density filter that darkens bright areas of an image, such as skies while leaving the remainder of the frame unaffected.

The camera is different from the human eye. The dynamic range of the human eye is quite wide allowing us to see detail in bright and dim areas simultaneously. While modern cameras have made significant advances in range, they are still not able to match what we can see with our own eyes. They have trouble holding detail in scenes with a wide range of tones. To compensate for this, we can use ND Grads (short for Graduated Neutral Density Filter) to selectively darken an area of the frame, such as bright skies, while allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in the other regions of the image. The NiSi Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated filters are characterised by a soft transition (they change from light to dark more gradually) and are used when the transition between light and dark areas is not so clear. A classic example is a shot in a mountainous area. The NiSi Cinema Range of IRND filters is constructed from optical glass for clarity with no loss in sharpness.

Dual-Sided Nano Coating & Infrared Light Control
Made from single piece of optical glass, each filter features NiSi's exclusive Dual-sided Nano coating technology with infrared light pollution control.

Scratch, Oil & Water Resistant
The nano coating creates a protective layer over the glass, making it scratch resistant and easy to clean.

Ultra-Low Color Shifting
Superior colour control compared to other leading competitors.

Anti-Reflective Coating
NiSi's nano-coating reduces glares and reflections to deliver a 6K digital image with no loss in clarity.

Smooth Graduated Transition
The NiSi Nano Soft IRND Grad has a smooth graduated transition with no apparent transition between the darkest part of the filter on the top and the bottom which is clear. This filter is perfect for situations where there you have an uneven horizon, such as a mountain or cityscape.

The NiSi 4 x 5.65" Range is compatible with all leading brands of matte boxes that fit the 4 x 5.65‚Äù standard. The cinema filters also conform with the 4mm thickness allowing them to fit into filter cages or slot into cageless designs. A leatherette pouch is included for storage and transport. Also available is a larger filter case to organise and keep multiple filters at once.

FAQs

What scenarios are best suited for using the NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated 0.3 Filter?

This filter is ideal for landscape photography, particularly in situations where you have a bright sky and darker foreground elements. It's perfect for mountain ranges or cityscapes where the horizon is uneven. The soft-edge design allows for a smooth transition from dark to light, making it easier to blend the filter with the natural lighting conditions.

How does the Dual-Sided Nano Coating improve performance?

The Dual-Sided Nano Coating enhances the filter's performance by providing scratch resistance and making it easier to clean. This coating also reduces glare and reflections, allowing for clearer, more vibrant images. Additionally, it helps control infrared light pollution, which can be crucial for maintaining colour accuracy in your shots.

Can this filter be used for video production as well as photography?

Absolutely. The NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated Filter is specifically designed for cinema applications, making it suitable for both photography and video production. Its capability to maintain image clarity while adjusting exposure in specific areas is particularly beneficial in achieving cinematic looks without compromising on quality.

What is the difference between a soft-edge and hard-edge graduated filter?

A soft-edge graduated filter features a gradual transition from dark to light, making it ideal for uneven horizons or scenes with complex lighting. In contrast, a hard-edge graduated filter has a more abrupt transition, which is better suited for straight horizons like seascapes. The NiSi Soft-Edge Filter is particularly useful for landscapes with varied elements that require a more natural blending.

How does the filter affect exposure settings on my camera?

Using the NiSi Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated Filter reduces the light entering the lens by one stop in the darker area of the frame. This means that you may need to adjust your exposure settings accordingly, such as increasing the ISO or lengthening the shutter speed, to achieve the desired exposure in the unaffected areas of the image.

Is this filter compatible with all matte boxes that accommodate 4 x 5.65" filters?

Yes, the NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" filter is designed to fit all leading brands of matte boxes that conform to the 4 x 5.65" standard. Its 4mm thickness also allows it to fit into filter cages or slot into cageless designs, providing versatility across various setups.

What are some tips for cleaning and maintaining the filter?

To clean the NiSi filter, use a microfiber cloth and a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optical glass. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. When storing the filter, keep it in the included leatherette pouch to protect it from dust and scratches. Additionally, avoid exposing the filter to extreme temperatures or humidity, which can affect its performance.
