Nisi 105mm Swift True Color Nd-Vario Variable ND Filter 1-5 Stops

SKU CH-NRGN-AHCB5

A 105 mm variable neutral-density filter reduces exposure by one to five stops with true-colour glass, a removable handle and hard stops at each limit

  • True-to-life colour accuracy eliminates unwanted colour casts
  • Density range 0.3 to 1.5 stops enables wider apertures and slower shutter speeds
  • Removable stainless-steel handle allows swift, smooth adjustments and prevents finger intrusion
  • Hard stops at 1 and 5 stops give precise tactile feedback during shooting
  • Fits 105 mm filter threads on lenses and adapters

Filter Thread & Use Case

The Nisi Swift True Color Nd-Vario is a variable neutral density filter built for lenses and adapters with a 105mm standard filter thread. It serves photographers and videographers who need continuous exposure control from 1 to 5 stops without swapping fixed ND filters. The density range of 0.3 to 1.5 lets users open apertures or slow shutters for motion blur and depth-of-field effects in bright light. Buyers whose lenses use a different thread size cannot mount this filter directly.

Optical Performance

The filter is engineered for true-to-life colour accuracy, eliminating the colour shifts and unwanted casts often seen with other variable ND designs. High-quality optical glass elements deliver neutral white balance and colour temperature, reducing post-processing time for both video and still photography. A waterproof nano coating protects the glass surfaces from moisture and fingerprints. No vignetting is reported at the wide end of the variable range.

Adjustment Mechanism

A removable stainless steel control handle provides swift, smooth density changes during filming and acts as a guard against accidental finger intrusion into the frame. Clear markings on the slim aluminium frame show density variations, while a tactile hard stop at 1 and 5 stops gives precise feedback for repeatable exposure settings. The handle can be detached when not required or when space is limited.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Nisi 105mm Swift True Color Nd-Vario on my lens, and what step do people often miss?

Screw the filter onto the 105mm front thread of your lens or adapter ring, then attach the removable stainless steel control handle before adjusting density; the step many miss is forgetting to fit the handle, which provides the tactile hard stops at 1 and 5 stops and prevents fingers from entering the frame.

What maintenance or replacement will this variable ND filter need over time?

The waterproof nano coating on the optical glass resists water and oil; clean it with a microfibre cloth and lens solution when smudges appear, and replace the filter only if the glass is scratched or the coating degrades enough to affect image quality.

What limit appears first when using this filter continuously at its darkest setting?

At the maximum 5-stop (ND32, density 1.5) position the hard stop prevents further rotation, so the exposure reduction caps at 5 stops; pushing beyond that point is mechanically blocked, making the density limit the first constraint you encounter.
