Nisi 82mm Swift System variable ND filter kit with friction-mounted ND16 filter

Nisi

Nisi 82mm Swift System 1-9 VND Kit variable ND filter

SKU CH-WN35-1T3ZF

Variable ND filter kit covering 1-9 stops with true-colour optical glass and friction-mount system, 82 mm thread

  • True colour reproduction with no visible shift thanks to True Color film and nano-coated optical glass
  • 1-5 stop variable ND gives flexible exposure control in changing light
  • Add the included ND16 filter to extend range to 9 stops for very bright conditions
  • Friction-mount design keeps filters securely attached without magnets
  • No vignetting at 18 mm when both filters are stacked

What this kit does

The Nisi 82mm Swift System combines a True Color variable ND filter covering 1-5 stops with a friction-mounted ND16 filter adding four more stops. Together they provide a continuous 1-9 stop exposure range for photography and videography. Nano-coated optical glass aims to deliver accurate colours without noticeable shift. A pressure mount secures both filters to the lens without magnets.

Who it suits and who it does not

Shooters needing a single system to handle changing light from bright sun to heavier density will find the 1-9 stop range useful. The hard-stop ring prevents accidental over-rotation. Buyers who work at focal lengths wider than 18mm should test for vignetting before critical work. Users requiring magnetic attachment or a different thread size will need another solution.

Deciding specification

The kit fits 82mm filter threads and is designed to eliminate vignetting at 18mm when both filters are stacked. Vignetting may appear at wider angles, so verify coverage with your widest lens. The friction mount holds the ND16 filter on the variable ND without a separate adapter ring.

Questions about this item

Does the kit include the Swift adapter ring or do I need to buy it separately?

The kit contains the True Color 1-5 stop VND and an ND16 4-stop filter that press onto the VND. The Swift adapter ring for mounting the ND16 on its own is sold separately.

Should I choose the 1-5 stop VND alone or stack the ND16 for 1-9 stops?

Use the VND alone for 1-5 stops of light reduction. Stack the included ND16 on the VND when you need 6-9 stops total, such as for very long exposures in bright daylight.

Will the stacked filters vignette on my 18mm wide-angle lens?

The system is designed to eliminate vignetting at 18mm when both filters are stacked. At focal lengths wider than 18mm vignetting may appear, so test before shooting.
