Product Information

Full details

The Nikon NC Neutral Colour Filter is an essential accessory for photographers who want to protect their lens investment without compromising image clarity. Designed for both color and black and white photography, this high-quality, multi-coated clear filter acts as a permanent shield against dust, scratches, and everyday environmental damage. While it provides excellent protection, users should be aware that adding any glass element to a lens can theoretically increase the risk of flare when shooting directly into extremely bright light sources.

FAQs

Does this filter affect autofocus speed?

No, the NC filter is a neutral piece of glass that has no impact on the electronic communication or autofocus performance of your lens.

Can I stack this filter with a circular polarizer?

Yes, you can stack filters, but be aware that stacking multiple filters may cause vignetting on wider-angle lenses.

Is this filter suitable for black and white photography?

Yes, because it is entirely colorless, it provides pure protection without altering the contrast or tonal range of your black and white images.

Will this filter fit my lens if it has a different thread size?

No, you must match the filter diameter exactly to the thread size of your specific lens; this model is exclusively for 62mm threads.

Should I leave the filter on all the time?

Many photographers leave it on as a permanent protector, though you may choose to remove it if you are in a controlled studio environment where the risk of damage is minimal.

Troubleshooting

Filter is stuck on the lens

Use a specialized rubber filter wrench to apply uniform pressure, or place the lens in a cool environment for a short time to help shrink the metal threads slightly.

Images appear slightly hazy or washed out

Check the filter for smudges or fingerprints and clean with a microfiber cloth; also ensure you are not shooting directly into a bright sun which might be causing flare.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects expensive front lens elements from scratches and dust
  • Multi-coating reduces internal reflections and ghosting
  • Does not alter the color rendition of your photographs
  • Durable build quality expected from Nikon
  • Easy to attach and remove from lenses with 62mm threads

Cons

  • Adds an extra layer of glass which may slightly increase flare in high-contrast backlit scenarios
  • Does not provide any creative optical effects like polarization or ND reduction
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain maximum optical clarity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply align the filter with the front thread of your compatible 62mm lens and rotate clockwise until secure. Ensure you do not over-tighten, as this can make removal difficult in temperature-variable environments. Compatibility includes lenses such as the AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G and the AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G. To clean, use a professional-grade lens blower to remove loose grit before wiping the surface gently with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could strip the multi-coating.
