Offering a 10-stop reduction in exposure, along with infrared attenuating abilities, this 77mm Tiffen XLE Series advantiX IRND Filter enables the use of longer exposure times with maintained color fidelity. By darkening the entire scene, this 3.0 optical density filter allows you to work with wider apertures or longer shutter speeds without overexposing your image, in order to better control depth of field or convey movement more easily.

The IRND design of this filter has been optimized for use with digital sensors, and works to attenuate both visible and infrared light. Digital image sensors are more sensitive to a greater range of light spectra, and as such are prone to color shifts or casts when photographing darker subjects or scenes that require increased exposure times. This filter's unique design helps to suppress false colors for greater neutrality and faithful color reproduction.

This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and mounting to precision metal rings.

3.0 Optical Density    ColorCore Technology    Increase Exposure Length    Greater Control Over Exposures    Attenuates Infrared Light

ND 3.0 filter darkens the image, allowing you to photograph with a longer shutter speed or wider aperture than normally required.

Providing a 10-stop exposure reduction, this filter allows you to control depth of field and convey movement more easily.

Attenuates infrared light, as well as visible wavelengths, to maintain color neutrality and suppress color casts due to increased exposure lengths.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. is there a particular reason Nisi makes this density in 100x100mm and not 4x4? I need 8 stop ND to complement my Nisi IRND set

A: You can use 100x100 filters. 100x100 is the same as a 4x4 filter.

Q: 2. Would this pair well with the Nisi ND-Vario Pro Nano 1-5 stops, to create a variable 4-8 stops ND?

A: While the NiSi 72mm PRO Nano IRND 0.9 Filter (3-Stop) does have a front thread, it is not advisable to use two variable ND filters at the same time as it would create undesirable results.

Q: 3. I bought three of these (2/4/6 stops) and only this 2 stop 4x4 doesn't fit into SmallRig Lightweight Matte Box. If all of them didn't fit I'd easily blame it on SmallRig as it's a super low level item, but apparently QC from Nisi is subpar?

A: NiSi have provided an exchange option for this inquiry.

Q: 4. I have the V5 set. If these have the gasket pre-installed, can they be stacked or used in the outer slots with one in the nearest slot?

A: You cannot stack more than 1 filter in each slot.

Q: 5. Does the Hoya MKII IRD have front threads in order to mount additional NDs ?

A: Yes, the Hoya HD MKII IR ND1000 Neutral Density Filter includes front filter threads so you can attach additional ND filters or a protective lens cap.

Q: 6. one paragraph specifically says "This filter IS designed for direct solar viewing" then another paragraph says it is NOT ?

A: The Kolari Vision Pro IRND Filter (20-Stop, 77mm) does not allow direct solar viewing with your bare eyes/optical viewfinder. It allows for solar photography.

Q: 7. Can this be used as a drop-in filter (with the threaded drop-in) with Canon 300mm f2.8L IS USM II & 600mm f4L IS USM II lenses?

A: Yes, the Hoya HD MKII IR ND8 Neutral Density Filter (52mm) can be used as a drop-in Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM Lens and the Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM Lens.

Q: 8. Will this fit a Lee Filter holder?

A: Yes.

Q: 9. Can this filter be used for solar eclipse photos?

A: No, the NiSi 77mm PRO Nano IRND 3.0 Filter (10-Stop) would not provide enough coverage for solar eclipse photography. You need at least 16 stop ND, preferably with UV/IR cut. Nisi has the following option. https://bhpho.to/3vaPO0g

Q: 10. I have a mirrorless camera that I had converted for IR photography; regular ND filter do not have any effects on exposure; I want to shoot IR with long exposure, will this NiSi IRND do the job?

A: No, the NiSi 82mm PRO Nano IRND 3.0 Filter (10-Stop) would not be compatible for your usage needs. It does the opposite of what you are looking for; it is designed to block IR to the extent that there will not be infrared pollution when taking a long exposure. As an alternative, the filters in the NiSi Swift FS ND Filter Kit (82mm), B&H # NIRFSNDSWK82, are designed to pass all wavelengths of light evenly, so this would also be an alternative for your usage needs. Also, as standard neutral density filters pass along infrared light unless it specifically indicates it has IR reduction, a filter such as the Hoya ProND EX 1000 Filter (82mm, 10-Stop), B&H # HOPNDEX1T82, should also work for your usage needs. https://bhpho.to/3ieQ30o https://bhpho.to/3LZm8bn
