NiSi 100mm System V5-PRO Filter Holder Kit Second Generation (Starter Kit, Advance Kit,Professional Kit)

I'm rating this 4.5 stars.Pros:-Very high quality filter system. Coatings on the 3 filters are flawless and seem to have an additional fluoro repellency top coating.-ND filters do not change the color tone during long exposures, just like my X3 ND filters.-The design is pretty logical for day time landscape photography- the circular polarizer stays in place with the native 82mm adapter and the glass filter holder attaches securely and easily with a spring loaded action.-The filter box is nice, albeit a tad bulky for a normal camera bag.-Overall, very high quality set of filters for the landscape photographer.-The only addition I suggest is the NiSi natural night filter....it's amazing. I decided to get an 82mm circular screw on Natural Night filter as I am opting to remove the entire circular polarizer at night anyway.-One con....kind of frustrating for me are some stray inter-filter internal reflections. See the attached photo...circular polarizer, ND graduated, ND 6 stop ....I ended up with some kind of internal reflection that I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of. I think it's the length of the ND graduated filter plate that is catching some stray sunlight.UPDATE: I figured out this stray "internal reflection" thing. Turns out it's from random small specks of dust on the filter glass surfaces. Definitely use a blower and the supplied cleaner like crazy when you are in the field. Examine your shots frequently for artifacts due to dust often! When you take the filter pieces out from the case there will invariably be some dust-so be careful.

My first ever ND purchase - either individual filter or as a kit. Overall the packaging is excellent, the storage box provided is perfect to keep all items neatly stored in one place along with room to store additional filters if required.I have only taken about 30 pictures so far and I've run into two issues: When un-screwing the CPL the edges are so sharp that I've cut my thumb several times - not bled but cut deep enough to make it extremely uncomfortable.Another is actually more annoying - getting the 10 Stop ND Filter to actually cover the opening in the holder - the size of the filter JUST BARELY covers the opening - I mean there is barely 1 mm allowance - really - a couple of extra mm in lenght of the ND filter would make life SOOO much easier in the field. So I really have to spend that extra time to make absolutely sure the filter JUST covers the opening in the holder. Even when I think I have it covered, if I look closely, I can see a sliver of light coming through the foam backing. It's that close.It's so difficult to slide the filter in extremely tiny amounts just to cover the opening with bare hands - how will that work out when I do photography in cold weather with mittens/gloves on remains to be seen.Just for these two frustrating issues - I'm taking away two stars - for me that is a deal breaker.NISI - do you have a solution?

I am quite happy with this purchase. Can only compare it against 75mm wide Cokin resin filters and I should say, Cokin's color cast are waaaay more noticable.Comes with a quite huge carry case which is exactly as expected. Just be advised - it is not small.Construction seems to be very reliable and solid. Although, before your first usage of this in the field, try assembling this completely at home - the way circular polarizer attaches in not quite obvious - you need to rotate it against the holder for about 180 degrees before it is fully mounted.My only complaint is the following - when you're sliding 10x15 cm filter in, it tends to lean backwards a bit at the moment where the lower side comes "close" to the bollom of your lens - you need to adjust it with your other hand at that moment. Probably this is the construction element necessary to reduce vingetting when shooting at low focal distances.

Worked as advertised. Good build quality.

Excellent filters
