This 82mm NanoPro ND Filter from Haida provides a 16.5-stop increase in neutral density, offering control of available shutter speeds or aperture settings for both still and video applications. Using a longer shutter speed makes it possible to increase image blur to convey a sense of movement, useful when shooting moving water. Increased density also makes it possible to shoot using wider lens apertures, helping to isolate a subject from the background and reducing depth of field.

This filter is made from optical glass that features multicoating for reduced lens glare, providing optimal light transmission. It also features nano coating on each optical surface that resists water, oil, dust, fingerprints, and scratches, making it ideal for use in harsh environments, and also easy to clean. The slim aluminum filter ring can be used on wide-angle lenses without vignetting, and it features front threading that allows additional filters or accessories to be added.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How much reduction in UV and IR spectrum, respectively, is specified? I understand the reduction in visible light is 16.5 stops.

A: Unfortunately, Nisi does not specify how much of the IR and UV is reduced for NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter (77mm, 16.5-Stop). They do state that the UV and IR cut is to offer a color neutral result. Therefore the UV and IR cut should not be relied upon for anything else other than offering an image that is color neutral.

Q: 2. I bought this for the ring of fire eclipe. My question is why are my pics black and white? Glasses were orange and black. Bad se

A: It is normal for the NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter and other similar filters to produce nearly monochrome images due to the density of the filter combined with the sun's brightness. Please check the reviews of other solar filters or this same filter in other sizes and you will see mostly monochrome or near monochrome photos.

Q: 3. Is this filter multi-coated?

A: Yes, the Haida 58mm NanoPro Magnetic Interchangeable Variable ND 2-Filter Kit would be multi-coated.

Q: 4. Will this filter give the sun a more white color or a yellowish color?

A: The NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter will produce a near white image of the sun. The yellow/orange that you see in some of the sample photos was added by the users in post.

Q: 5. Will this filter work with my Sony 14mm F1.8 GM lens? I think I need the threading on the outside of the filter

A: The NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter (82mm, 16.5-Stop) is incompatible with the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens. Instead, get the NiSi 100mm Filter Holder for Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM Lens, B&H # NIP100SONY14, and the NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter (100 x 100mm, 16.5-Stop), B&H # NIP100ND50.

Q: 6. I have viltrox 56mm EF-M lense. Could you please let me know which side ND filter would fit to it

A: The Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.4 M Lens for Canon EF-M has 52mm filter threads, So you could use the Haida PROII CPL-VND 2-in-1 Filter (67mm) with the Sensei 52-67mm Aluminum Step-Up Ring. Here is the link: https://bhpho.to/3LcEzcN.

Q: 7. Does it get stuck to the lens often?

A: At this writing we have not had issues with the Haida PROII CPL-VND 2-in-1 Filter (82mm).

Q: 8. How thick is this filter? How much will it vignette on a Z 14-30mm lens?

A: Haida does not list the frame thickness on the Haida PROII CPL-VND 2-in-1 Filter (82mm). But most filters like this are thicker and at the 14mm side of the zoom, chances are you will get some vignette.

Q: 9. If this filter is NOT safe for direct eye viewing, why should I believe it IS safe for a camera's sensor? Please convince me.

A: The NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter (16.5-Stop) is safe for camera sensors when used carefully and following the instructions. The sensitivities of eyes and sensors are different and what is good for one may not be good for the other. This filter has been used on cameras without causing any sensor damage.

Q: 10. Is this filter compliant with ISO 12312-2 (the international safety standard for filters for direct viewing of the Sun)?

A: ISO 12312-2:2015 is the standard for direct viewing of the sun; the NiSi Solar Filter Pro Nano UV/IR Cut ND100000 Filter (77mm, 16.5-Stop) specifically states that "This filter is not appropriate for direct solar observation with the naked eye, and should exclusively be used for photographic purposes." This filter is not rated for direct viewing of the sun.
