NiSi Explorer 100x100mm ND64 (1.8) 6 Stop Filter

NiSi Explorer Collection 100x100mm ND64 (1.8) 6 Stop Filter

NiSi neutral density (ND) filters are the ideal tool for managing light in the field. Thanks to the wide range of densities available, NiSi ND filters allow you to extend shutter speeds even in bright conditions. Managing light with ND Filters allows you to have a fourth way to control exposure (in addition to ISO, time and aperture)..

The ND64 6 Stop NiSi 100×100 filter reduces the light by 64 times without altering the colours, therefore it allows you to lengthen the shutter speed 64 times (for example from 1/60 “to about 1”, or from 1/2 “to about 30 seconds).

Construction

The NiSi Explorer Collection 100x100mm Nano IR Neutral Density filter – ND64 (1.8) – 6 Stop is part of our Explorer Series for made for adventure. The filters feature a special glass hardening process that makes them double the strength of typical glass filter.  The Explorer series are much less prone to accidental breakage and perfect for active photographers.

Neutral density (ND) filters uniformly reduce the amount of light entering the lens.  ND Filters can enable greater motion blurring and image detail by allowing a large aperture and a slow shutter speed.  ND filters are also helpful when the contrast between the highlights and shadows is too high to get quality exposure. The ND64 6 stops ND filter is generally used during the golden hour to create exposures of 1-2 minutes for smooth water or clouds.  A 6 Stop is also great for capturing dynamic water while retaining some texture before the golden hour.

NiSi ND filters do not affect the coloration of the image, offer a true to life color and are made from high-quality optical glass (not resin) with nano coating to prevent losing any single bit of detail.  By using neutral density filter the camera is vulnerable to infrared light which will cast the unwanted red color to the photos when shooting at a small aperture. NiSi ND filters have an infrared protection coating layer to eliminate the infrared light through the lens to bring back the natural true to life color.

The NiSi 100mm filter system is great for cameras with lenses that have a standard filter thread from 49 mm to 95mm.  

Unique on the market

Thanks to the very high chromatic correspondence and absence of dominant colours, you can finally say goodbye to impractical and time consuming colour corrections in post production. NiSi filters do not degrade the image and your lens and photographic sensor will always work at maximum of their potential. The NiSi Explorer Collection is made from B270 tempered glass.  It features the same Nano coating process as our optical glass filters.  This filter is tempered and hardened making it much less prone to accidental damage but this does not mean it is unbreakable.  After a long period of time, the hardening may decline.

Weatherproof

The Nano® Coating treatment gives the filter the quality of repelling water and oils, making cleaning very easy even in extreme conditions or with the presence of sea water. The finishing of the edges and the rounded corners improve the resistance of the filter and the grip. Our filters and holders are born to be used outdoors, in any weather situation, enjoy photography in its purest essence.
