This 2-stop, 4 x 5.65" NiSi Nano IRND Filter 4x5.65 2-Stopis an ND filter with a 4x filter factor that provides a 2-stop exposure reduction. Its 0.6 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed without overexposing your image. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters are intended to not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

The design of this filter has been optimized for use with digital sensors and to promote nearly flat attenuation of visible and infrared light. Due to imaging sensors' greater susceptibility to infrared light, compared to traditional film, color casts can occur when photographing darker subjects that require increased exposure times. To provide a high level of neutrality across the visible and infrared spectrums in order to eliminate color casts and ensure cleaner, truer blacks when using the NiSi 4 x 5.65" Nano IRND 0.6 Filter, one layer of NiSi Optical Nano Coating is applied to each of this filter's surfaces.

This NiSi 4 x 5.65" Nano IRND 0.6 Filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity, and measures 4mm thick.

4 x 5.65" neutral density filter darkens the image, allowing you to photograph with a longer shutter speed or wider aperture than normally required.

Providing a 2-stop exposure reduction, this filter allows you to control depth of field and convey movement more easily.

Filter does not affect coloration of the image and is ideal for use with other filters.

Each surface includes one layer of NiSi Optical Nano Coating that attenuates infrared light as well as visible wavelengths, to maintain color neutrality and suppress color casts due to increased exposure times.

Leatherette pouch included for storage and transport.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. Schneider sells IR cut filters rated for 750nm and 680nm respectively. Do we know at what infrared wavelength this filter begins to cut light?

A: This filter does not cut light at specific nm, but cots down the light by 6 stops compared to what is available at the time of shooting.

Q: 3. How we can get these products in Nepal? Regarding diameter of lens it's 77mm which one ND will fit on it?

A: Please enter your shipping address for duties and taxes. You can use ND filters that have a 77mm filter thread.

Q: 4. What is the warranty on this product?

A: NiSI filters come with 1 year warranty in the US only. They are distributed through Ikan Corp in Texas.

Q: 5. 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: 6. Does this filter fit on Lee filter holder ?

A: Yes.

Q: 7. Are theses filter can be hold with the nisi 100mm holder v5 ?

A: Sorry shopper, these Cinema filters will not fit into the V5 Holder.

Q: 8. I bought three of these (2/4/6 stops) and only this 2 stop 4x4 doesn't fit into SmallRig Lightweight Matte Box. If all of them didn't fit I'd easily blame it on SmallRig as it's a super low level item, but apparently QC from Nisi is subpar?

A: NiSi have provided an exchange option for this inquiry.

Q: 9. 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: 10. Does this have the scratch resistant coating which was demonstrated at NAB 2016?

A: Scott, these particular NiSi filters do have a scratch resistant coating, BUT, it is not the same as what was demonstrated during NAB 2016. NiSi has a new line of filters with a very strong scratch-resistant coating coming out later this year. That is what was being demonstrated at NAB 2016.
