Product Overview

The NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated 0.6 Filter (2 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 a 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 Colour 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 smoothly 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 type of photography or videography is the NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated 0.6 Filter best suited for?

The NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated 0.6 Filter is particularly beneficial for landscape photography and outdoor videography. It excels in situations where there is a significant contrast between the bright sky and darker land, such as mountain ranges, cityscapes, or coastal scenes. By selectively darkening the sky, the filter helps maintain detail in both the highlights and shadows, enhancing the overall dynamic range of the image.

How does the soft-edge graduation of this filter affect image composition?

The soft-edge graduation of the NiSi filter allows for a more subtle transition between the darkened and clear areas of the frame. This feature is ideal for compositions where the horizon is uneven or where the transition between light and dark is gradual. It prevents harsh lines that can disrupt the natural flow of an image, making it a popular choice for scenes with hills, trees, or other irregular outlines.

What advantages does the Dual-Sided Nano Coating provide?

The Dual-Sided Nano Coating on the NiSi filter offers several advantages, including enhanced scratch resistance and easier cleaning. This protective layer also reduces reflections and glare, which can compromise image quality. Additionally, the coating controls infrared light pollution, ensuring better colour accuracy and clarity, making the filter suitable for high-resolution digital imaging.

Can this filter be used with different camera systems?

Yes, the NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated 0.6 Filter is designed to be compatible with all leading brands of matte boxes that fit the 4 x 5.65" standard. Its 4mm thickness allows it to be used in filter cages or cageless designs, making it a flexible option for various camera systems and setups.

How do I determine the correct position for the filter in relation to the horizon?

To determine the correct position for the NiSi filter, start by aligning the soft-edge graduation with the horizon line in your composition. It is essential to position the darker area of the filter above the horizon to effectively darken the sky while leaving the land unaffected. Adjust the filter's position as needed to achieve the desired effect, taking care to ensure a natural-looking transition that complements your scene.

What maintenance is recommended for this filter to ensure longevity?

To maintain the NiSi filter in optimal condition, it is recommended to clean it with a microfiber cloth and a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optical glass. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the nano-coating. Additionally, store the filter in the included leatherette pouch when not in use to protect it from scratches and environmental factors.

Is there a noticeable difference in colour accuracy compared to other filters?

Yes, the NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated 0.6 Filter is designed to provide superior colour accuracy with minimal colour shifting compared to other leading filters. Its advanced optical glass construction and anti-reflective coating work together to deliver true-to-life colours, making it an excellent choice for professional photography and videography where colour fidelity is critical.
