Product Overview

The NiSi Cinema 6.6√ó6.6‚Ä≥ 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 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 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 6.6 x 6.6‚Äù Range is compatible with all leading brands of matte boxes that fit the 6.6 x 6.6‚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 6.6x6.6" Nano IRND?

The NiSi Cinema 6.6x6.6" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated filter offers a smooth transition from dark to light, making it ideal for scenes with uneven horizons. This allows for seamless blending between the bright sky and the darker foreground, ensuring that you capture details in both areas without harsh lines or abrupt changes. The soft-edge design is particularly useful in landscapes where the horizon is not straight, such as mountains or cityscapes.

How does the Dual-Sided Nano coating enhance the filter's performance?

The Dual-Sided Nano coating on the NiSi filter provides several benefits. It creates a protective layer that makes the filter scratch-resistant, oil-resistant, and water-resistant, ensuring durability in different shooting conditions. Additionally, this coating helps to control infrared light pollution, which can cause colour distortion in images. By minimising reflections and glare, the filter allows for clearer and more vibrant images, maintaining high clarity essential for professional photography and videography.

In what situations would I specifically benefit from using a 1-stop graduated ND filter?

A 1-stop graduated ND filter is particularly beneficial in scenarios where the light difference between the sky and the ground is moderate. For example, during sunrise or sunset when the sky is brightly lit while the foreground is still in shadow, this filter helps to balance the exposure, allowing for a more evenly lit image. It is also useful when shooting landscapes, as it can help to prevent overexposed skies while retaining detail in the land, providing a more natural look to your photographs.

Can this filter be used with various matte boxes and filter cages?

Yes, the NiSi Cinema 6.6x6.6" filter is designed to be compatible with all leading brands of matte boxes that adhere to the 6.6x6.6" standard. Its 4mm thickness allows it to fit into filter cages or slot into cageless designs, making it versatile for different setups. This flexibility is beneficial for filmmakers and photographers who may use various equipment in different shooting environments.

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

To maintain the quality of your NiSi filter, it's essential to handle it with care. Always use a microfiber cloth or a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optical glass to clean the filter. Avoid using paper towels or any abrasive materials which can scratch the surface. Store the filter in the included leatherette pouch when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. If the filter becomes wet, gently wipe it dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots from forming.

What types of photography or videography are best suited for this filter?

The NiSi Cinema 6.6x6.6" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated filter is ideal for landscape photography, architectural photography, and outdoor videography. Its ability to balance exposure between bright skies and darker foregrounds makes it perfect for capturing dramatic sunrises, sunsets, and scenes with diverse lighting conditions. Additionally, it can enhance the overall quality of video production by providing a natural and balanced exposure, which is crucial when shooting in variable light environments.
