Compare the NiSi 100mm V6 filter holders for Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM and Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S with the Switch holder. Learn which one suits your lens and shooting style.
Quick answer
If you shoot with a Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM or Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S, the dedicated NiSi 100mm V6 holders eliminate vignetting in the upright position. For complex lighting with graduated filters, the NiSi Switch holder lets you rotate two filter slots independently.
Vignetting: the lens-specific advantage
The NiSi 100mm V6 holders for the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM and Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S are precision-machined to match each lens's rear element and hood geometry. This design guarantees no vignetting when the holder is in the upright position. If you rotate the holder away from upright, some vignetting can appear on the Sony version — a trade-off worth noting for off-axis compositions.
The Switch holder, by contrast, is a universal solution that fits many lenses but is optimized for 16mm and wider. It delivers no vignetting at 16mm, but if you use an ultra-wide like the Sony 14mm, the dedicated V6 holder is the safer bet for corner-to-corner sharpness.
Rotation flexibility: independent vs. locked
The Switch holder stands out for its ability to rotate two filter slots independently. This is invaluable when using graduated ND filters in complex scenes — you can angle the grad line differently for each slot without moving the entire holder. The V6 holders offer 360-degree rotation with a lock, but both slots rotate together.
If you frequently shoot seascapes or cityscapes with uneven horizons, the Switch gives you more creative control. For straightforward long exposures with solid NDs, the simpler V6 rotation is perfectly adequate.
