NiSi Advanced 100mm Filter Kit for Landscape & Seascape Photography and Natural Night Filter for Nighttime Light Pollution

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 26, 2017


NiSi was kind enough to send me an Advanced 100mm Filter Kit for Landscape & Seascape Photography, along with a NiSi Natural Night Filter for Nighttime Light Pollution, for testing on the Fujifilm GFX 50S just in time for the new moon. I’m looking forward to seeing how it compares to the competition, but my initial impressions are very good. NiSi certainly knows how to build a kit that screams quality. They even improved the few complaints I had previously read about.

My only real issues at the moment are that I wish the case stored the cleaner and blower accessories and that it came with extra spacers for 100mm x 100mm filters. Alternatively, they could add a clip-on pouch for small accessories and include spacers with filters that need them. Extra filters, like the Natural Night Filter, come with nice cases but, ideally, NiSi filters should come ready to slot in the case, since there are 3 empty spaces.

If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments or in our Fujifilm GFX Owners Group.

Fujifilm X-T2 Reviews and Video Projects

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 26, 2017

There are many reasons why the Fujifilm X-T2 is beloved by owners, but Three Blind Men and An Elephant Productions says it best “Reduced to a single sentence. The X-T2 gives me the shortest distance from intent to delivery of any dedicated camera I have used since I was a kid, including a couple Leicas.” I would go even further and say the statement extends throughout the entire Fujifilm range of cameras.

Fujifilm GFX 50S vs Sony a7R2, Lens Testing, Review and Yosemite Time Lapse

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 26, 2017

Lewis Von John is back with another landscape video comparing the Fujifilm GFX 50S and Sony a7R2. The Sony a7R2 isn’t professional and even though it is lighter once you figure in all the batteries that you will need to carry it weighs at least as much as the GFX and of course the GFX wins user interface. When moving to Lightroom the GFX is significantly sharper and the colors are more satisfying, which makes the Sony look dull and off, but Lewis thinks he might have to do another test in the future.
