This NiSi S6 150mm Filter Holder Kit for Laowa FF S 15mm f/4.5 Lensfrom NiSi S6 150mm Filter Holder Kit for Laowa FF S 15mm f/4.5 Lensfeatures two filter slots for the convenient use of up to two 150mm wide, 2mm thick square or rectangular filters. Each slot is designed to grip an installed filter only along the surface of the filter's edges, so contact with a filter's front or rear-facing surfaces is avoided. Positioning filters is particularly important when using 170mm-long graduated filters whose effect can be adjusted to better suit changing lighting conditions or creative demands by sliding them up or down within a filter slot. The S6 system allows the filter holder to rotate, and it has a lock to hold it in position. The filter holder supports the use of a rotating circular CPL.

This is the same filter holder found in the NiSi S6 Filter Kit. It is the filter holder only and does not include the required S6 adapter rings.

Q: 3. Is the len hood detachable? Can I use a generic 100mm square filter holder with generic 100m sqaure filter on it? Thanks.

A: The petal-shaped lens hood is built-in, not removable, and not reversible. Unfortunately, this means generic or third-party filter holders won't work. Laowa has a magnetic filter system for the lens coming soon, and it seems that will be the only way to get 4x4" or 4x5.65" size filters to work with the lens.

Q: 4. Can this filter holder be used on other lenses through an adapter ring, or is it strictly made for the Laowa 12mm?

A: I have a bad experience with the Nisi 10 stop square ND filter on this kit attached to the Laowa 12 mm f2.8. There is a round double strip of light in the picture and it is because the filter does leak some light in the holder to the lens, despite the filter comes with a round strip on the borders, to prevent that leakage. If there is anyone who experience this problem, it would great to get some input. Jose

Q: 10. Does this produce optical flare? I found other bulbous lenses have issues with flare in the form of colored spots opposite strong light sources.

A: Flaring can occur when using the lens aimed or directly hit by a focused light source at certain angles, but the flare is managed quite well compared to other lenses as the lens has an anti-reflective coating also helps to control flare and ghosting for heightened contrast and color rendering. If the light source is in the frame, flare is controlled rather well. If the flare is on the edge of the frame, it may be more noticeable, but can usually be reduced/eliminated by slightly recomposing the framing of your image.
