NISI FILTER SWIFT SYSTEM ND16 / 4 STOPS 72MM

The NiSi True Color ND16 4 stops filter is the ideal tool for photographers who want to transform their TRUE COLOR ND-VARIO 1-5stops (0.3-1.5) to a TRUE COLOR ND-VARIO 5-9 stops (1.5 – 2.7) with the use of a single filter, and approach the world of long exposures, or, for videographers who want to be able to control the light in real time during shooting, without introducing any type of artefact or aberration.

NiSi Filters has created this unique filter system, the SWIFT, allowing you to transform your TRUE COLOR ND-VARIO 1-5stops (0.3-1.5) (sold separately or with the Swift VND KIT) to a 5-9 VND True Color, simply pushing into place the ND16 and creating a new filter, ready to obtain a reduction of the light that enters the lens from 1 to 9 stops. The characteristics and quality of the filter avoid any “X” or “cross effect” from which variable ND filters often suffer.



The unique lens grade optical glass that made the NiSi brand famous was also used for this ND Variable. Furthermore, there is the Nano Coating treatment which makes the surface waterproof and resistant to grease and dirt. Cleaning the filters has never been easier.

Available in 67mm, 72mm, 77mm, 82mm, 95mm.



This filter is not threaded on the lens side*, as NiSi created a new Push to Fit system in order to adapt easily and “swift” the ND16 True Color 4 stops to your TRUE COLOR ND-VARIO 1-5stops (0.3-1.5) and transforming into a TRUE COLOR ND-VARIO 5-9 stops (1.5 – 2.7).

*Thread is only present at the front of the filter, if the photographer of the videographer wants to stack-screwing another threaded filter, need to use the correct thread engraved on the filter.

Below, the right combination to match the True Color ND Vario 1-5 stops to the True Color ND16 4 stops:
