NiSi 4 x 5.65" Nano Soft-Edge Graduated IRND 1.2 Filter (4-Stop)

How to Use ND Filters: Tips, Tricks, and Special Effects Read More Nisi Filter Family - Cinematic Camera Filters The NiSi 4 x 5.65" Nano Soft-Edge Graduated IRND 1.2 Filter is a rectangular filter that helps to darken specific areas of an image, such as bright skies, while allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in the other regions of the image. The filter is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a soft-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areas. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and this filter provides up to a 4-stop reduction in light from entering the lens. 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 Soft-Edge Graduated IRND 1.2 Filter, one layer of NiSi Optical Nano Coating is applied to each of this filter's surfaces. This NiSi 4 x 5.65" Nano Soft-Edge Graduated IRND 1.2 Filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity, and measures 4mm thick. 4 x 5.65" graduated neutral density filter darkens bright areas of an image, such as skies, while leaving the remainder of the frame unaffected. 16x filter factor provides up to a 4-stop reduction of light in selective areas. Soft-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areas. 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. Constructed from optical glass for clarity. Leatherette pouch included for storage and transport.
