Offering a 10-stop reduction in exposure, along with infrared attenuating abilities, this 82mm Tiffen XLE advantiX IRND Filter 82mm 10-Stopenables the use of longer exposure times with maintained color fidelity. By darkening the entire scene, this 3.0 optical density filter allows you to work with wider apertures or longer shutter speeds without overexposing your image, in order to better control depth of field or convey movement more easily.

The IRND design of this filter has been optimized for use with digital sensors, and works to attenuate both visible and infrared light. Digital image sensors are more sensitive to a greater range of light spectra, and as such are prone to color shifts or casts when photographing darker subjects or scenes that require increased exposure times. This filter's unique design helps to suppress false colors for greater neutrality and faithful color reproduction.

This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and mounting to precision metal rings.

3.0 Optical Density    ColorCore Technology    Increase Exposure Length    Greater Control Over Exposures    Attenuates Infrared Light

ND 3.0 filter darkens the image, allowing you to photograph with a longer shutter speed or wider aperture than normally required.

Providing a 10-stop exposure reduction, this filter allows you to control depth of field and convey movement more easily.

Attenuates infrared light, as well as visible wavelengths, to maintain color neutrality and suppress color casts due to increased exposure lengths.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this pair well with the Nisi ND-Vario Pro Nano 1-5 stops, to create a variable 4-8 stops ND?

A: While the NiSi 72mm PRO Nano IRND 0.9 Filter (3-Stop) does have a front thread, it is not advisable to use two variable ND filters at the same time as it would create undesirable results.

Q: 2. How many stops would I need to do a long exposure of the direct sunset with a bright reflection off a river? I already have a 3, 6, and 10 and I can't get a past 2 second shutter speed with the 10 stop. Should I stack them or buy the 15 or 20 stop?

A: It is always better to use as few filters in front of the lens as possible so one 20 stop filter would be a better choice.

Q: 3. Does anyone know what it's: "IR Attenuation" ?

A: IR attenuation in the Ice 82mm Slim IRND1000 Filter (10-Stop) means that the filter reduces the amount of infrared light that can reach the camera sensor.

Q: 4. Which side should be facing away from the camera? I realize this sounds like a silly question, but since these filters appear to have identical coating on both sides, I'm curious if it should make a difference? Should I assume that the side with the engraved writing be facing AWAY from the camera? I just received 3 of these (3, 5, and 7 stop filters) and a bit dumbfounded! BTW, the quality looks fantastic, along with the packaging.

A: Since both sides have identical coating, it doesn't matter which way the filter is facing. We've taken them out on several shoots without noticing a difference either way.

Q: 5. Will this fit a Lee Filter holder?

A: Yes.

Q: 6. will this fit the tilta mini matte box?

A: Yes the NiSi 4 x 5.65" Nano IRND 0.3 Filter (1-Stop) BH #NIRND034X565 • MFR #NIC-4565-ND0.3 will fit the Tiltaing Mini Matte Box BH #TIMBT15 • MFR #MB-T15.

Q: 7. Hi, will this fit in my Nisi 100x100 mm V5 Pro filter holder

Q: 8. I have a mirrorless camera that I had converted for IR photography; regular ND filter do not have any effects on exposure; I want to shoot IR with long exposure, will this NiSi IRND do the job?

A: No, the NiSi 82mm PRO Nano IRND 3.0 Filter (10-Stop) would not be compatible for your usage needs. It does the opposite of what you are looking for; it is designed to block IR to the extent that there will not be infrared pollution when taking a long exposure. As an alternative, the filters in the NiSi Swift FS ND Filter Kit (82mm), B&H # NIRFSNDSWK82, are designed to pass all wavelengths of light evenly, so this would also be an alternative for your usage needs. Also, as standard neutral density filters pass along infrared light unless it specifically indicates it has IR reduction, a filter such as the Hoya ProND EX 1000 Filter (82mm, 10-Stop), B&H # HOPNDEX1T82, should also work for your usage needs. https://bhpho.to/3ieQ30o https://bhpho.to/3LZm8bn

Q: 9. does this filter thickness fit into the 4x5.65 filter slots from this mattebox? BH #TIMBT12M114 MFR #MB-T12-M114

A: The Tilta 3-Stage 4 x 5.65" Carbon Fiber Clip-On Matte Box (114mm Back) is a cinema matte box and takes cinema 4mm thick filters. The NiSi 4 x 5.65" Nano IRND 0.3 Filter (1-Stop) is 4mm thick. It will fit.

Q: 10. Does this have hard stops or does it continue to turn past the min or max?

A: The Tiffen MCS Variable Neutral Density Filter (77mm, 2 to 8-Stop) does not have hard stops.
