NiSi Variable ND True Color ND Vario 86mm Rental in Japan

Product Summary:

The NiSi Variable ND True Color ND Vario 86mm is a high-quality variable neutral density (ND) filter available for rental, designed for creators seeking precise exposure control and color accuracy for videography and long-exposure photography in Japan. With an eighty-six millimeter filter diameter, it is suitable for larger professional lenses.

This filter allows you to smoothly adjust the light reduction from one to five stops (ND two to ND thirty-two). A key feature is the integration of NiSi’s TRUE COLOR technology, which eliminates the common yellow/color cast often associated with variable ND filters. Furthermore, a physical stopper controls the rotation range, preventing the undesirable “X-shaped” unevenness in light transmission.

Quick Highlights:

• Variable ND Density: Adjustable from one to five stops (ND two to ND thirty-two).
• True Color Technology: Eliminates color shifts and yellow cast for accurate color rendition.
• Prevents X-Pattern: Features a hard stopper to limit rotation range and avoid cross-polarization effects.
• Nano-Coating: Suppresses ghosting and flare for cleaner images.
• Large Filter Diameter: Eighty-six millimeters, suitable for professional lenses.

Product Details / Description:

Gain full creative control over aperture and shutter speed, even in bright Japanese sunlight, with the NiSi Variable ND True Color ND Vario 86mm filter. This professional-grade accessory is crucial for maintaining a cinematic shutter speed (e.g., one over fifty or one over sixty seconds) when shooting video, or for achieving long-exposure effects in bright conditions for photography.

About the Product

Variable ND filters operate by combining two polarizers, and the NiSi True Color Vario stands out by using specialized glass that actively counteracts the color shift that plagues lesser filters. This ensures your colors remain neutral and accurate, reducing time spent on color correction in post-production. The filter’s surface is treated with a nano-coating, offering protection and effective suppression of internal reflections that cause ghosting and flare.

The mechanical design includes a physical stopper on the outer ring. This stopper ensures you cannot rotate the filter beyond the point where the light reduction becomes uneven, eliminating the unsightly “X” pattern—a critical quality control feature for professional videographers. Please confirm the diameter of your lens before renting to ensure compatibility.

Faqs:

What is the benefit of a variable ND filter over fixed ND filters?

A variable ND filter offers flexibility by allowing you to dial in the exact stop reduction (from one to five stops) needed instantly, without having to change physical filters. This speed and precision are invaluable for video shooting where light conditions change quickly.

What does the “TRUE COLOR” technology prevent?

TRUE COLOR technology eliminates the color shift, typically a magenta or yellow cast, that often occurs when two polarizing layers in a variable ND filter interact. This ensures highly accurate color rendition in your footage.

What is the “X-shaped unevenness” and how does this filter prevent it?

The “X-shaped unevenness” (or cross-polarization effect) is an undesirable dark pattern that appears when variable ND filters are rotated past their designed maximum density. This NiSi filter uses a physical stopper mechanism to prevent the filter from rotating into this unusable range.

What does the “Nano-coating” do?

The nano-coating on the filter glass suppresses internal reflections, which drastically reduces ghosting (multiple images of light sources) and flare (haze) in your photos and videos, especially when shooting toward the sun or bright light sources.

Can I use this filter to reduce reflections, like a polarizer?

No, the information notes that the PL (polarizing) filter effect has no impact. While variable ND filters use polarizing elements, this filter is designed primarily for light reduction and does not function to eliminate reflections from water or glass like a traditional circular polarizer.
