NiSi Explorer Collection 100x100mm IR ND64 (1.8) 6-Stop Neutral Density Filter

The NiSi Explorer Collection 100x100mm Nano IR Neutral Density ND64 (1.8) 6-Stop Filter is a premium choice for adventure-seeking photographers. This filter, part of our robust Explorer Series, is designed with a unique glass hardening process that makes it twice as durable as standard glass filters. This enhanced strength makes the Explorer series less susceptible to accidental damage, making it an ideal companion for active photographers.

Neutral Density (ND) filters, like this one, uniformly decrease the amount of light entering the lens. This allows for greater motion blurring and image detail by enabling a larger aperture and slower shutter speed. ND filters are particularly useful when the contrast between highlights and shadows is too high to achieve a quality exposure.

The ND64 6-stop ND filter is typically used during the golden hour to create exposures of 1-2 minutes, resulting in smooth water or cloud effects. It's also excellent for capturing dynamic water while maintaining some texture before the golden hour.

NiSi ND filters are designed to maintain the true coloration of the image. They are crafted from high-quality optical glass (not resin) and feature a nano coating to prevent any loss of detail. These filters also include an infrared protection coating layer to eliminate infrared light that can cast an unwanted red hue to photos when shooting at a small aperture.

The NiSi Explorer Collection is crafted from B270 tempered glass and undergoes the same Nano coating process as our optical glass filters. This filter is tempered and hardened for added durability, but it's important to note that it is not unbreakable and its hardening may decline over time.

The NiSi 100mm filter system is compatible with cameras with lenses that have a standard filter thread from 49mm to 95mm. This 100x100mm filter is compatible with the NiSi 100mm filter system, making it a versatile addition to any photographer's toolkit.
