Product Overview

The NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated 0.9 Filter (3 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 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 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 is the advantage of using a soft-edge graduated filter like the NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND?

The NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated filter is specifically designed to provide a gradual transition between the dark and clear areas of an image. This is particularly beneficial in scenes with uneven horizons, such as mountains or cityscapes, where a hard transition could look unnatural. The soft-edge design allows for a more seamless blend, making your images appear more realistic and professional.

How does the Dual-Sided Nano Coating technology work?

NiSi's Dual-Sided Nano Coating technology enhances the filter's performance by providing superior scratch resistance, oil and water repellency, and anti-reflective properties. This means that not only will your filter resist damage, but it will also be easier to clean, ensuring that your images maintain clarity and quality without glare or reflections that can detract from the final product.

In what situations should I use a 3-stop graduated neutral density filter?

A 3-stop graduated neutral density filter is ideal for shooting scenes with a significant difference in brightness between the sky and the land. For example, during sunrise or sunset, when the sky is much brighter than the foreground, this filter can help balance the exposure, preventing overexposed skies while keeping the foreground well-exposed. It's also useful in landscape photography to manage highlights in bright skies without affecting the darker areas of the scene.

Can I use this filter with any lens or matte box?

The NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND Filter is designed to fit any matte box that adheres to the 4 x 5.65-inch standard. This makes it versatile and compatible with a wide range of lenses and setups, particularly in professional cinematography and photography. Ensure that your matte box can accommodate filters of this size and thickness (4mm) to use it effectively.

What is the impact of infrared light pollution control in this filter?

The infrared light pollution control feature in the NiSi Nano IRND filters significantly enhances image quality by reducing unwanted infrared light that can lead to colour shifts and a loss of detail in your photographs. This is particularly important in digital photography, where sensors can be more sensitive to infrared wavelengths than the human eye. By minimising this interference, you achieve superior colour accuracy and clarity in your images.

How should I properly care for and clean my NiSi filter?

To maintain the integrity of your NiSi filter, it is recommended to use a microfiber cloth for cleaning, as this material is gentle and effective at removing dust and smudges without scratching the surface. If there are stubborn marks, you can use a lens cleaning solution designed for optical glass. Always store your filter in the provided leatherette pouch or a dedicated filter case to protect it from scratches and environmental damage when not in use.

Is the NiSi Cinema filter suitable for both photography and videography?

Yes, the NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated filter is designed to meet the needs of both photographers and videographers. Its high-quality optical glass and advanced coating technologies ensure that it performs well in both mediums, providing consistent results whether you are capturing still images or recording video. The filter's ability to control exposure effectively makes it a valuable tool for achieving balanced tones in various shooting conditions.
