Product Information

Full details

The Nikon 82mm NC Neutral Colour Filter is designed for photographers seeking to protect their NIKKOR lenses while maintaining true-to-life color accuracy. Its primary benefit is offering constant protection against the elements and reducing unwanted flare and ghosting without altering the visible color spectrum. A key consideration is that while it provides excellent protection and optical clarity, it doesn't introduce any creative color effects.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Nikon NC Filter?

The main purpose is to protect the front lens element from damage, dust, and moisture, while also reducing flare and ghosting without affecting color rendition.

Does this filter change the colors in my photos?

No, the 'NC' stands for Neutral Color, meaning it is designed to have no effect on the colors captured by your camera.

Can I leave this filter on my lens all the time?

Yes, the filter is designed for permanent attachment and provides continuous protection for your lens.

What does '82mm' refer to?

The '82mm' refers to the filter's diameter, which must match the filter thread size of your lens for compatibility.

How do I clean the filter?

Gently wipe the filter with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. For tougher smudges, use a lens cleaning solution applied to the cloth.

Is this filter suitable for videography?

Yes, its neutral color and flare-reducing properties make it suitable for videography where accurate color and clean footage are important.

What kind of protection does it offer?

It offers protection against dust, moisture, fingerprints, and minor scratches to the front lens element.

Troubleshooting

Filter is difficult to screw onto the lens.

Ensure you are using the correct filter size (82mm) for your lens. Check the lens threads and the filter threads for any debris or damage. Try rotating the filter gently while screwing it on.

Image appears hazy or has reduced sharpness.

Clean the filter surface with a microfiber cloth. Ensure the filter is properly aligned and not cross-threaded. Verify that no other filters are stacked on top, which could degrade image quality.

Flare or ghosting is still present.

While the filter reduces flare, it does not eliminate it entirely, especially with extreme light sources. Try repositioning your camera or subject, or use a lens hood to minimize direct light hitting the filter.

Pros and Cons

  • Ensures accurate color reproduction without any cast.
  • Effectively reduces lens flare and ghosting.
  • Durable multi-coating for longevity.
  • Maintains high image quality and sharpness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Attaching the Nikon 82mm NC Filter is straightforward. Simply align the filter's threads with the front filter ring of your compatible lens and screw it in clockwise until snug. Avoid overtightening.

Compatibility: This filter is specifically designed for Nikon lenses with an 82mm filter thread diameter. Always confirm your lens's filter size before purchasing.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, clean the filter regularly. Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to wipe away dust and smudges. For stubborn marks, a lens cleaning solution can be applied sparingly to the cloth (never directly to the filter). Store the filter in its protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage.
