The NiSi JetMag Pro 82MAG Soft Graduated FS GND8 (0.9) Magnetic Filter (82mm, 3 Stop) offers a reliable solution for photographers and filmmakers who require exact exposure management in scenes with complex lighting. Utilizing NiSi’s acclaimed Pro Nano optical technology and the innovative JetMag Pro magnetic mounting system, this 3-stop soft graduated neutral density filter enables accurate control over bright backgrounds such as skies, while ensuring that details in the foreground and midtones remain preserved.
Mastering High-Contrast Scenes
Graduated ND filters play a crucial role in capturing scenes where intense sunlight meets much darker landscapes. The Soft GND8 (0.9) effectively reduces light by 3 stops in the graduated area, providing a seamless transition from darkness to clarity to help balance the overall exposure in an image. Its soft-edged transition is particularly useful for photographs with uneven horizons—think of mountains, city skylines, or tall trees—where a hard-edged filter would look too pronounced and unnatural.
Precision Design for Versatile Creativity
Featuring a 1/3 graduation, the JetMag Pro Soft GND8 strikes an excellent balance between accuracy and adaptability. This design makes it a versatile choice for many shooting scenarios, from gentle coastal lines at sunrise to jagged mountain vistas or bustling urban environments. The 1/3 graduation area is especially effective in compositions where the sky occupies less space, allowing more of the landscape or other elements to fill the frame while maintaining balanced brightness. This flexibility empowers creative freedom across both photography and videography.
True-to-Life Color Accuracy
With full-spectrum (FS) design, this GND filter renders colors and tones with outstanding fidelity, free from unwanted color casts that can disrupt your final image. Accurate color reproduction across the entire visible spectrum ensures your photographs and video footage reflect natural hues and precise contrasts, an essential quality for high-resolution camera work as well as cinematic productions.
Built for the Demands of Outdoor Shooting
The JetMag Pro Soft GND8 is crafted from optical-grade glass, providing impressive clarity and sharpness. NiSi’s Pro Nano Coating enhances the filter with water repellent and oil resistant properties, making maintenance easier in outdoor scenarios. This advanced multi-coating also delivers anti-reflective benefits, helping to minimize flare and ghosting while preserving detail and contrast. The durable surface contributes to the filter’s long-term reliability and consistently high performance, even during extended use in challenging environments.
Wide-Angle Compatibility and Slim Profile
Designed with a slim frame, the filter is compatible with wide-angle lenses—helping minimize or eliminate vignetting, even at focal lengths as wide as 16mm on full-frame cameras. This allows creators to capture broad landscapes or cityscapes without unwanted edge darkening or geometric distortion.
Innovative Magnetic Mounting System
The JetMag Pro magnetic mount provides a quick and secure way to attach or remove the filter. Its patented locking mechanism ensures a firm hold, reducing the risk of accidental detachment even when stacking multiple filters. For installation, you’ll need to use the JetMag Pro 82MAG magnetic mounting system, which requires a compatible 82MAG adapter ring. These are available in direct 82mm sizes, as well as step-up adapters for lenses with 77mm, 72mm, 67mm, or 62mm threads.
Create Balanced Images Straight From Camera
Whether you’re capturing serene golden hour landscapes, dramatic seascape scenes, or cinematic video narratives, the NiSi JetMag Pro Soft GND8 (0.9) equips you to manage exposure precisely. By gently darkening excessive highlights in the sky and leaving the foreground untouched, you can achieve well-balanced, natural-looking results in-camera—streamlining your workflow and allowing you to focus your creativity in the field.
