A practical guide to choosing between the NiSi Natural Night Filter, NC ND64, and NC ND1000 for the Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2.8S, plus the essential lens hood.
Quick answer
For astrophotography, get the NiSi Natural Night Filter; for daytime long exposures, choose the NC ND1000 (10-stop) or NC ND64 (6-stop) depending on your motion blur needs.
Why the lens hood matters
The Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2.8S uses a built-in lens hood (HB-97) that lacks a filter thread. To attach any 112mm circular filter, you must replace it with the NiSi Lens Hood, which matches the original dimensions and adds a locking screw for security. This hood also prevents light leaks when using ND filters.
ND filter choice: motion blur vs. light control
The NC ND64 reduces light by 6 stops, enough to blur waterfalls or clouds in bright conditions. The NC ND1000 cuts 10 stops, allowing very long exposures even in daylight. Both use the same optical glass and coatings, so color accuracy is similar. Choose based on how much motion blur you want.
How to decide which filter to buy
- Shoot at night?: Choose the Natural Night Filter. It selectively blocks sodium and mercury vapor light without affecting natural starlight, giving you cleaner astro shots with less post-processing. Works best in suburban or city-adjacent dark sites.
- Need motion blur in daytime?: If you want silky waterfalls or streaky clouds, the NC ND1000 (10-stop) gives you 30+ second exposures even at f/8. For softer blur like moving water, the NC ND64 (6-stop) is enough and lets you keep exposures under 30 seconds. The ND1000 is better for strong motion; the ND64 suits moderate blur.
- First time using 112mm filters?: Buy the NiSi Lens Hood first. Without it, you cannot attach any 112mm circular filter to the Z 14-24mm. The hood also protects the front element and locks securely. The hood is a required accessory, not optional.
