Product Information

Full details

The Nikon Neutral Colour Filter 72mm is designed for photographers seeking reliable, high-quality lens protection without compromising image clarity. Ideal for both professional and hobbyist Nikon users, this filter serves as a permanent shield against dust, moisture, and scratches, ensuring the front element of your expensive glass remains pristine. While it excels at preventing flare and ghosting, users should note that adding any extra layer of glass to a lens may slightly increase the risk of internal reflections in extreme backlighting scenarios.

FAQs

Does this filter affect exposure settings?

No, because the filter is neutral and perfectly clear, it does not require any adjustment to your shutter speed, aperture, or ISO.

Can I attach a lens cap over the filter?

Yes, the front of the Nikon NC filter is threaded to allow the attachment of standard 72mm lens caps.

Is this a polarizing filter?

No, this is a clear protection filter. It does not reduce glare from non-metallic surfaces or darken skies like a Circular Polarizer (CPL) would.

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean it whenever you notice dust or smudges that interfere with image clarity, but avoid excessive cleaning to preserve the longevity of the coatings.

Will this filter fit a 77mm lens?

No, this is a 72mm filter. You would need a step-up ring to use it, though that is generally not recommended as it may cause vignetting.

Troubleshooting

Filter is stuck and will not unscrew

Use a rubber lens filter wrench to gain better grip and leverage without applying pressure to the lens glass.

Visible smudges or haze on photos

Check the front and back of the filter for fingerprints or oil residue and clean with a microfibre cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality multi-coating reduces unwanted reflections
  • Preserves the integrity of the original lens glass
  • Neutral color output ensures no post-processing adjustments are needed
  • Durable construction suitable for long-term permanent attachment

Cons

  • Adds an additional layer of glass which can theoretically affect image quality in rare conditions
  • Does not replace a dedicated lens hood for stray light management
  • Limited to 72mm filter thread diameters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, gently screw the filter clockwise into the front thread of your 72mm lens until secure. Do not overtighten, as this can make the filter difficult to remove due to temperature changes or metal expansion.

Compatibility: This filter is compatible with any lens featuring a 72mm front filter thread. Always verify your specific lens diameter by looking for the symbol on the front of the lens barrel.

Care Instructions: Keep the filter clean using a dedicated lens cleaning cloth and a high-quality lens cleaning solution. Use a soft air blower to remove loose dust particles before wiping the surface to prevent scratching the coating with abrasive debris.
