Definitely the largest lens cap I have ever seen so far & this honour goes to NiSi for providing this very useful lens cap with their S6 Filter Holder Kit. It helps protect the NiSi Circular Polariser that also comes with the S6 Folder Holder Kit and if the CPL is not mounted it helps protect my Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G so all in a very useful addition to the kit especially when I like to use this setup hand-held. Check out this short clip introducing the S6 Lens Cap: NiSi S6 Lens Cap Intro https://vimeo.com/496716357 Hope you enjoyed this clip. Till the next one , cheers, Andrew ..read more

Part 02 of my experience with the new NiSi S6 filter holder system & NiSi 150mm filters. This time I spent some time at the Flower Dome , Gardens By the Bay to create this short clip demonstrating how I used NiSi's ND (Neutral Density) filters to basically remove people from a scene. I used two NiSi ND filters (10 stops & a 6 stops) in this demo because I also wanted to show how easy it was with the S6 Filter Holder system. So here's the Part 02 Video Clip: NiSi S6 Out in the Field - Part 02 https://vimeo.com/496714237 For convenience , here's the Part 01 Out in the Field Clip NiSi S6 ..read more

I hope everyone is staying healthy & coping well with the unfortunate current pandemic situation. . As for me I am still keeping busy with my photography activities & projects. .

The scenes I am referring would most likely involve water flowing , creating motion blur , moving clouds especially when captured on a day with great light. . I had been using the NiSi S5 Filter Holder system & NiSi’s 150mm filters for a while now with my Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 lens when creating &a ..read more

INTRO NiSi has been coming out with some great products & I was curious to see what the new NiSi Close up lens (77mm) could do. Would it be good enough to replace a top notch macro lens ? The honest and quick answer would be no but from my first experience with this close up lens , it would definitely be great for : 1. bring the world of macro to photographers who wants an introduction to this genre. 2. be a useful close up tool that a photographer can just screw on to a regular zoom tele lens 3, great for photogs that need that occasional macro / close-up capability Still I was intereste ..read more

I am a huge fan of NiSi filters & of course their Filter holder systems. I had been using the NiSi S5 Pro Filter Holder system with their High Resolution Optical Glass filters with my Nikkor F-mount 14-24mm f/2.8G ultra wide angle zoom & had been loving it since day 1. Towards the end of last year , I had been using Nikon's new mirrorless cameras & love their much more compact size & performance. For landscapes , one of my most used lens is the fabulous Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4S ultra wide angle zoom lens which is also the only ultra wide zoom lens where you can easily mount a scre ..read more
