The NiSi Explorer Collection 150x170mm Nano IR Reverse Graduated Neutral Density Filter – GND4 (0.6) – 2 Stop is part of our Explorer Series for made for adventure. The filters feature a special glass hardening process that makes them double the strength of a typical glass filter.  The Explorer series are much less prone to accidental breakage and perfect for active photographers.

The NiSi Explorer Collection 150x170mm Nano IR Reverse Graduated Neutral Density Filter – GND4 (0.6) – 2 Stop is a rectangular filter that helps to darken specific areas of an image, such as bright skies while allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in the other regions of the image. Reverse edged GNDs are similar to hard-edged GNDs except that the darkest part of the filter is at the transition point. These filters have a specific use for shooting at the light source where the light is harshest at the horizon and tapers off toward the sky.  This type of filter is most appropriate for scenes that have a sudden transition from the foreground to the sky with the brightest part of the scene near the horizon. Most commonly, this would include landscapes with no elements protruding above the horizon such as a seascape looking toward the open ocean. They can be used shooting into the direct light where a sharp transition is needed.

NiSi GND filters do not affect the coloration of the image, offer a true to life color, and are made from high-quality optical glass (not resin) with nano coating to prevent losing any single bit of detail.  By using neutral density filter the camera is vulnerable to infrared light which will cast the unwanted red color to the photos when shooting at a small aperture. NiSi GND filters have an infrared protection coating layer to eliminate the infrared light through the lens to bring back the natural true to life color.

The NiSi Explorer Collection is made from B270 tempered glass.  It features the same Nano coating process as our optical glass filters.  This filter is tempered and hardened making it much less prone to accidental damage but this does not mean it is unbreakable.  After a long period of time, the hardening may decline.

This 150x170mm filter is compatible with the NiSi 150mm filter system.

Madison ★★★★★

The Nano IR coating works exactly as advertised during a harsh midday shoot—no color cast, and the reverse gradient nailed the horizon with the sun just above it. Even with the 150mm size, it slid into my holder smoothly, and the included pouch is sturdy enough for backpacking trips. This is my go-t

Henry ★★★★★

This filter finally let me balance a harsh sunrise without blowing out the sky. The reverse gradient worked perfectly across the horizon, and the nano coating made cleaning off morning dew effortless.

Avery W. ★★★★★

Shot into the sun at f/11 and the horizon line stayed clean with no weird color shift, which is exactly why I went with the nano IR coating. The 150x170 size gives me plenty of room to slide it for hard transitions. Glass arrived flawless in the case too.
