NiSi - 100x150mm Explorer Nano IR Soft Graduated Neutral Density (8) 0.9 Filter, 3 Stop

While embarking on your photographic adventures, the NiSi Explorer Collection 100x150mm Nano IR Soft Graduated Neutral Density Filter - GND8 (0.9) - 3 Stop is an essential tool for capturing stunning images. This filter, part of our Explorer Series, is designed with the adventurous photographer in mind. It boasts a unique glass hardening process that doubles its strength compared to standard glass filters, making it less susceptible to accidental breakage.This rectangular filter is expertly crafted to darken specific areas of an image, such as bright skies, while maintaining a normal, unaffected exposure in other regions. It transitions smoothly from dense at the edge to clear in the middle, making it ideal for images featuring elements like trees, buildings, or mountains that extend into the skyline.The NiSi GND filters are designed to preserve the true colors of your image. They are constructed from high-quality B270 optical glass, not resin, and feature a nano coating to prevent loss of detail. Additionally, these filters have an infrared protection coating layer to eliminate infrared light that can cast an unwanted red hue on your photos when shooting at a small aperture.The NiSi Explorer Collection filters are not only toughened but also feature the same Nano coating process as our optical glass filters. While they are designed to withstand accidental damage, they are not unbreakable, and their hardening may decline over time.Compatible with 100mm filter holder systems, the NiSi 100mm filter system is suitable for cameras with lenses that have a standard filter thread from 49 mm to 95mm. While B270 glass filters are stronger than optical quality glass and can survive drops from approximately 1m onto concrete, they are not shatterproof. The toughening process for this glass degrades over time, and while the strength may degrade, the image quality remains very good for most photographic applications.For those demanding the highest possible image quality, sharpness, and detail, we recommend our Optical glass filters. The NiSi Explorer Collection filters, made from cost-effective B270 glass, offer a high-quality, durable, and affordable solution for your photography needs..
