NiSi Explorer 150x150mm IRND 8 3 Stops Square Filter

NiSi Explorer Collection 150x150 mm Neutral Density (ND) Filter

Durability and Quality
The NiSi Explorer Collection ND filters are crafted from special B270 tempered glass, making them twice as durable as typical glass filters. These filters maintain true color fidelity without affecting image coloration. They feature an infrared (IR) coating and a Nano coating that repels dirt, water, and oil, consistent with NiSi's standard filter protection.

These filters have undergone a tempering and hardening process to reduce susceptibility to accidental damage, though they are not unbreakable. Over time, the hardening effect may diminish.

Compatibility

The NiSi Explorer 150x150 mm filters are compatible with the NiSi 150 mm filter system and can be used on lenses with filter thread sizes ranging from 49 mm to 95 mm.

Neutral Density Filter Usage

Neutral density filters reduce the amount of light entering the lens, enabling longer exposure times and wider apertures for creative effects such as motion blur and shallow depth of field.

• ND8 / 3 stops: Ideal for photographing waterfalls and water flow with shutter speeds between 0.5 and 2 seconds.
• ND64 / 6 stops: Commonly used during the "golden hour" (shortly after sunrise or before sunset) to achieve exposures of 1 to 2 minutes, creating smooth water or cloud effects. Also suitable for capturing dynamic water textures before the golden hour.
• ND1000 / 10 stops: Suitable for daytime use when bright ambient light requires significant light reduction. Can extend exposures up to 5 minutes during the golden hour with appropriate settings.
