This 82mm Haida NanoPro ND Filter 82mm 16.5-Stopfrom Haida NanoPro ND Filter 82mm 16.5-Stopprovides a 16.5-stop increase in neutral density, offering control of available shutter speeds or aperture settings for both still and video applications. Using a longer shutter speed makes it possible to increase image blur to convey a sense of movement, useful when shooting moving water. Increased density also makes it possible to shoot using wider lens apertures, helping to isolate a subject from the background and reducing depth of field.

This filter is made from optical glass that features multicoating for reduced lens glare, providing optimal light transmission. It also features nano coating on each optical surface that resists water, oil, dust, fingerprints, and scratches, making it ideal for use in harsh environments, and also easy to clean. The slim aluminum filter ring can be used on wide-angle lenses without vignetting, and it features front threading that allows additional filters or accessories to be added.

Q: 1. 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.

Q: 2. Is the circular polarizer compromised at all by the dual function?

A: The dual function does not compromise the circular polarizer feature on the Haida PROII CPL-VND 2-in-1 Filter (77mm).

Q: 3. If this filter is NOT safe for direct eye viewing, why should I believe it IS safe for a camera's sensor? Please convince me.

A: The NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter (16.5-Stop) is safe for camera sensors when used carefully and following the instructions. The sensitivities of eyes and sensors are different and what is good for one may not be good for the other. This filter has been used on cameras without causing any sensor damage.

Q: 4. Does the 95mm version of a fine thread (old/standard) or a coarse thread (Canon 28-70 F/2, Sony Super Telephoto, etc)?

A: Haida PROII CPL-VND 2-in-1 Filter (95mm) like most filters that size is course. Most lenses 95mm and larger filter threads are all course.

Q: 5. Does this filter work with any other metal UV filter placed on the lens?

A: Unfortunately, the Haida NanoPro Magnetic Clear Night Filter (82mm) does not work with any other metal UV filter placed on the lens. It requires the Haida 82mm Magnetic Adapter Ring screwed onto the lens or the front of your UV filter if it has 82mm diameter filter threads and then you can use the Haida NanoPro Magnetic Clear Night Filter (82mm) over the adapter ring. https://bhpho.to/3xTA7FZ

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. Could this be used for video? We are hoping to use a Canon XF105 to livestream the upcoming solar eclipse.

A: Yes, the NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter can be used for video as well as photography.

Q: 8. 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: 9. I wish to use this filter to view the total solar eclipse. Is it good for that?

A: No, the NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter (58mm, 16.5-Stop) is not designed for solar eclipse.

Q: 10. Using this filter and a tracker can the camera be left pointing at the sun for long periods without damaging sensor or lens?

A: Yes, there should be no issue using the NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter (95mm, 16.5-Stop) with a tracker when photographing the solar eclipse.
