Guides & field tests

Who better to write about filters than the people who shoot with them? On this page we collect guides, hands-on tests and tips from our NiSi Ambassadors, from photographers and videographers, and from people in the industry. They take our ND, polarising and graduated filters, the JetMag Pro system or our lenses on their travels and then report back on what worked well and what you should look out for.
