NiSi True Color ND-Vario variable ND reviewed by a square filter guy

A few weeks ago I was approached by NiSi to review their new True Color ND-Vario Variable ND Filter. For those that have worked with me you might be cringing now. For those that haven’t, I’m not the biggest fan of Variable ND filters. There I said it. My past experiences with Variable ND filters have been disappointing to say the least. So when NiSi approached me to test and review their new True Color ND-VARIO PRO you can imagine that was a little bit hesitant and somewhat skeptical. Nevertheless, I accepted the opportunity to put my money where my mouth was.

First Impressions of the new V7 Filter System from NiSi

In the last few weeks there has been quite a bit of buzz in the filter world over the new V7 Filter system from NiSi. I was lucky to get my hands on one just before the big release on October 1st and I’ve been using it over the past few weeks. To be honest, I really didn’t think that there was much to improve on and wasn’t expecting a new system this soon. However, after seeing the improvements that were made, I feel that the V7 has only made the best filter holder easier to use then ever.
