The NiSi 100mm filter range is for DSLR and mirrorless camera systems with lenses that have a thread size between 49mm and 82mm. Ultra-wide DSLR lenses with a bulbous front element like the Nikon 14-24mm and Tamron 15-30mm require the 150mm system.
NiSi 100mm Step Rings
Price: R495 These step-up adapter rings are the critical connection between any lens and the V5/V6 Pro 82mm primary adapter ring, ranging from 49mm - 77mm; as well as the Master 82mm Ring. (Please note that any V5/V6 Pro kit includes a 77mm, 72mm and 67mm unit of this product).
These can also be used as general purpose step rings. By using these step rings, you can use an 82mm circular filter on lenses with smaller thread sizes
NiSi 100mm IRND Filters
NiSi is renowned as one of the world's top manufacturers of completely colour-neutral and vignette-free ND filters. Made from H-K9L optical proglass, it allows optimal light transmission to produce sharp and contrast rich images with true-to-life colour.
Solid neutral density filters lengthen exposure by cutting out a specific amount of light. This is very useful for creative purposes, whether you want to blur a wave, waterfall, leopard or a street scene. They are available in many different densities, ranging from 2 to 20 stops, but the most popular are 3-, 6- and 10-stops. Please read the bullet points below to understand the purpose of each.
3-Stop | 0.9 - This filter is used to add a slight blur to water before the sun has set or after it has risen. At f/16 and ISO100, it is impossible to achieve a slow enough shutterspeed to get the ideal amount of blur in the waves while the sun is up. Three stops of darkening will normally allow a shutterspeed of 1/10s to 1/2s during this golden sunlight phase, producing soft lines in the waves. Price: R3,295
6-Stop | 1.8 - This filter serves the same purpose as the 10-stop, but it is better suited for sunset and sunrise. When the sun is close to setting or rising, a 10-stop ND will require a very long shutterspeed at f/11-16 and ISO100 to produce the correct exposure - often as much as 5-10 minutes. A 6-stop ND is thus much more suited for capturing long exposures of 30-60s around sunset and sunrise. Price: R3,295
10-Stop | 3.0 - This filter is used primarily for blurring the sea to a flat mist and for blurring clouds into abstract lines. It can also be used to remove traffic and people from urban scenes by blurring the moving elements. At f/11-16 and ISO100, it usually produces a shutterspeed of 20-30s in early morning or late afternoon with strong sunlight. Price: R3,295
15-Stop | 4.5 - This filter is serious long exposure territory and will produce exposure times of 1-4 minutes in peak daylight and 5-30 minutes during golden hour. Price: R3,895
20-Stop | 6.0 - For really experimental long exposure photography. A base expsoure of 1/1000th of a sec will require a 20 minute exposure with the filter attached. Price: R3,895 The 100mm IRND (Infra-red blocking) Neutral Density Filters range from 3-Stop up to 20-Stop
IR Blocking - This filter blocks out unwanted Infra-red light that can cause strange colours in undesired areas and rob images of critical shadow-contrast.

NiSi 100mm Natural Night Filter
Price: R4,295 The NiSi natural night filter removes unwanted light pollution in night photos by cutting out very specific wavelengths of light produced by artificial light sources. It removes all yellow light produced by sodium-vapor lamps, mercury-vapor lamps and low-CRI LED's. This ensures that night-time images are colour-accurate, sharp and rich in contrast.
This unique new filter is an indispensable tool for any serious cityscape shooter and this filter drastically improves detail and contrast around bright light-sources.
This filter is also available in a circular screw-in version.
Please note: The Natural Night filter is not compatible with the Lee holders - it slides out as there is not enough friction between the filter and the holder. You can solve the problem by applying some insulation tape to the edge of the filter, should you want to use it with your Lee holder.

NiSi 100x150mm 2, 3 & 4 Stop Graduated Nano IR ND Filters
NiSi is the only company that offers their standard graduated neutral density filters in glass instead of resin. Made from H-K9L optical proglass, these filters transmit light much better than resin, producing true-to-life colour and optimal contrast and sharpness.
Landscape photographers use graduated neutral density filters because the sky is usually brighter than the land – especially in dramatic sunset light. Graduated ND filters are dark on the top half and transparent on the bottom half. When the dark part is positioned over the sky of an image, it ‘reduces’ the amount of light allowed through that part of the frame and this results in a darkened exposure of the sky.
Graduated ND filters are available in soft, medium and hard and this determines the distance of the transition between the dark part and the transparent part. The softer the graduation, the more even the transition between the darkened area and the normal area. There are also reverse and horizon grads, which are a slight alteration.
Soft Grad –These filters are typically for scenes with a very dynamic horizon, like landscapes with trees or high mountains. Soft grads are the most forgiving and easiest for beginners to use. Price: R3,895
Medium Grad – Medium grads are a newer product that most manufacturers only released in 2016/2017. Many photographers often found hard grads too hard and soft grads too soft and thus it was obvious that something in between was necessary. It is also the perfect solution for photographers that don’t want to commit to a hard or soft grad. Not everyone can afford to buy the full range of these filters and the medium grads are an excellent new compromise. Price: R3,895 Hard Grad - These filters are typically for scenes with a straight and uniform horizon, like the sea. If a hard grad is not positioned perfectly, it will be clearly noticeable in the image as a dark line below the horizon or a bright line above it. We advise that beginners stick to soft and medium grads. Price: R3,895
All the different types of grads are available in different densities, because light is dynamic and different scenes require a different amount of ‘darkening’ of the sky. We stock a variety of 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 and 1.2 (0.3 = 1 stop) in NiSi's various size ranges. The most popular densities are 0.6 and 0.9, but a 1.2 is becoming increasingly popular.
0.3 (1-stop) is for experienced shooters, usually to be combined with a 0.6 or 0.9.
0.6 (2-stop) is the most popular filter as a 2-stop difference between land and sky is most common. If you shoot a sunset/sunrise the 0.6 will be the all-rounder that best balances exposure between land and sky in most directions.
0.9 (3-stop) is the ideal if you like shooting into the sunset as the 0.6 isn’t always dark enough for into-the-sun shots. The issue with the 0.9 is that it will be too dark if shooting 90-degrees from the sun or with the sun at your back.
1.2 (4-stop) is for shooting directly into a very bright sunset/sunrise.
NiSi 100mm 2, 3 & 4 Stop Reverse Graduated Nano IR ND Filters
Reverse Grad – These filters serve a very niche, but useful purpose. When shooting into a bright sunset/sunrise, the brightest area is right on the horizon and then the sky darkens towards the top. When using a normal graduated ND, it will result in a correctly exposed horizon, but the top part of the sky will be far too dark. A Reverse Grad also has a clear lower half, but it is darkest in the middle and then gets lighter towards the top. This allows one to more accurately balance those exposures that are brightest on the horizon. Price: R3,895
