Nisi ATHENA FS ND 1.2 4-Stop Drop-In Filter for ATHENA Lenses

- Darkens images by four stops for extended exposures
- Enables wider apertures in bright light for shallow depth
- Full-spectrum neutrality preserves true colours without shift
- Optical Nano Coating reduces reflections and protects glass
- Lightweight aluminium frame fits Athena drop-in slot securely
Designed for NiSi Athena Drop-In Slot
This drop-in filter fits NiSi Athena full-frame prime lenses that include a built-in filter slot. It provides a 4-stop neutral-density effect for photographers and filmmakers who need to reduce exposure without changing aperture or shutter settings.
Replaces Front-Mount ND Filters
The drop-in design removes the need for large-diameter screw-in filters and eliminates vignetting on wide-angle Athena lenses. The upgrade is worthwhile when you regularly shoot at wide apertures in bright light or want smoother motion-blur effects with slower shutter speeds.
Check Lens Compatibility Before Ordering
Confirm that your Athena lens has the dedicated drop-in filter tray; the filter will not work with lenses lacking this slot. Ensure the tray mechanism operates smoothly and that no existing filter is already seated in the compartment.
