The NiSi 82mm PRO UV Filter for Camera Lensesis a general use, clear filter designed to absorb ultraviolet light and reduce the bluish cast of daylight. Aside from the reduction of unwanted blue casts, no additional coloration or contrast is created, and adjustments to exposure are not required while using this filter, which maximizes light transmission to help eliminate the appearance of internal ghosting or reflections. Additionally, one layer of NiSi Optical Nano Coating is applied to each of this filter's surfaces to create an improved beading effect when in contact with water for greater cleaning efficiency.

NiSi PRO UV filters are constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity. This filter features a brass filter ring to enhance durability and jamming prevention.

This UV filter is also useful as a general protective filter to leave on lenses at all times. Such filters help to reduce dust and moisture from reaching your front lens element and provide additional protection in case of drops or situations where scratching could occur.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I use this for timelapse photography of the sun? (For example, shooting the sun over the four hours of an eclipse)

A: Yes, the NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter (77mm, 16.5-Stop) can be used for a long term time lapse of the sun. Just don't look at the optical viewfinder on the camera. Use the LCD live view to compose.

Q: 2. How much reduction in UV and IR spectrum, respectively, is specified? I understand the reduction in visible light is 16.5 stops.

A: Unfortunately, Nisi does not specify how much of the IR and UV is reduced for NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter (77mm, 16.5-Stop). They do state that the UV and IR cut is to offer a color neutral result. Therefore the UV and IR cut should not be relied upon for anything else other than offering an image that is color neutral.

Q: 3. Will this filter fit on a Canon 50mm 1.8 rangefinder camera lens?

A: It depends on the lens you are using as there are several choices. There will be a number for the filter size on the lens (generally on the front).

Q: 4. Would this work for the upcoming full solar eclipse?

A: Yes, the NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter can be used for the upcoming solar eclipse.

Q: 5. Which solar filter is for the Nikon 400 mirrorless lens?

A: The Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S Lens can use the Tiffen Solar ND Filter (46mm, 16-Stop), B&H # TI46ND48. Note, it is not ISO 12312-2 certified. It should not be used to look directly at the sun with our eyes. It can be used for the camera to take a photo of the sun. Look only in the LCD live view to compose the photo. Do not look in an optical viewfinder.

Q: 6. Is this filter compliant with ISO 12312-2 (the international safety standard for filters for direct viewing of the Sun)?

A: ISO 12312-2:2015 is the standard for direct viewing of the sun; the NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter (77mm, 16.5-Stop) specifically states that "This filter is not appropriate for direct solar observation with the naked eye, and should exclusively be used for photographic purposes." This filter is not rated for direct viewing of the sun.

Q: 7. What color will the sun be orange or white ? The sample photos show both.

A: The NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter (77mm, 16.5-Stop) will provide the most color-neutral results. The saturation of the color is based on post image editing and/or the brightness of the sun.

Q: 8. Aside from solar photography, will I be able to use this filter as an ND filter for long exposure photography?

A: The Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter (77mm, 16.5-Stop) allows 1/16.5th of the available light into the camera's sensor so you can use this as a ND filter for long exposure photography as well.

Q: 9. Does the filter come with a case?

A: Yes, the NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter (95mm, 16.5-Stop) comes with a case.

Q: 10. Will this filter work with my Sony 14mm F1.8 GM lens? I think I need the threading on the outside of the filter

A: The NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter (82mm, 16.5-Stop) is incompatible with the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens. Instead, get the NiSi 100mm Filter Holder for Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens, B&H # NIP100SONY14, and the NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter (100 x 100mm, 16.5-Stop), B&H # NIP100ND50.
