Product Overview

The NiSi Cinema 6.6√ó6.6‚Ä≥ 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 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 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 types of photography or videography is the NiSi Cinema 6.6x6.6" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated 0.9 Filter best suited for?

The NiSi Cinema 6.6x6.6" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated 0.9 Filter is particularly beneficial for landscape photography, especially in scenarios where there is a significant difference in brightness between the sky and the foreground. It is also ideal for cityscapes, seascapes, and any scene that features an uneven horizon. This filter helps to balance exposure, making it easier to capture details in both bright and dark areas without compromising image quality.

How does the soft-edge feature of this filter enhance image quality?

The soft-edge feature of the NiSi filter provides a gradual transition from dark to light, which is crucial in scenes where the horizon is not distinctly defined. This allows for a more natural blending of the filter's effect, reducing the likelihood of abrupt lines that can occur with hard-edge filters. As a result, you achieve a more aesthetically pleasing image that maintains detail and clarity in both the bright and dark areas.

Can this filter be used with other brands of matte boxes?

Yes, the NiSi Cinema 6.6x6.6" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated 0.9 Filter is designed to be compatible with all leading brands of matte boxes that fit the 6.6 x 6.6 inch standard. This versatility allows you to integrate it seamlessly into your existing setup, enhancing your creative options without the need for additional equipment.

How does the anti-reflective coating improve my images?

The anti-reflective coating on the NiSi filter significantly reduces glares and reflections, which can often detract from image quality. By minimising unwanted reflections, the filter allows for clearer and more vibrant images. This is especially important in high-contrast lighting scenarios where reflections can cause loss of detail and affect overall clarity.

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, oil, and water resistance, making it easier to clean. This protective layer ensures that the filter remains in optimal condition during use, preserving the optical clarity and preventing degradation of image quality over time. Additionally, it helps control infrared light pollution, which is essential for maintaining accurate colour reproduction in your images.

Is this filter suitable for video production as well as photography?

Absolutely, the NiSi Cinema 6.6x6.6" Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated 0.9 Filter is specifically designed for cinema and video applications, offering characteristics that cater to filmmakers. Its smooth transition and low colour shifting make it a valuable tool for achieving consistent exposure across shots, ensuring that your video maintains a professional look with minimal post-production adjustments.
