Haida NanoPro MC ND3.6 Filter 72mm

Haida 12-Stop Neutral Density Filter, 72mm

With the Haida ND Filter 12 Stops 72mm, you’ll unlock entirely new creative possibilities in photography. This high-quality neutral density filter reduces light by 12 stops, allowing for long exposures even in bright daylight. This enables you to capture razor-sharp, color-neutral images with impressive motion blur—from velvety waterfalls to dynamic cloud formations.

Who it’s for

• Landscape photographers who want to capture dramatic long-exposure shots of water, rivers, lakes, or clouds.
• Architectural photographers, to achieve optimal exposure for bright daytime shots.
• Travel photographers who want to create creative long exposures while on the go.
• Hobby and amateur photographers looking to expand their creativity.
• Professional photographers, for projects requiring perfect light control.
• Videographers who want to reduce motion blur and shutter speed during outdoor shoots.
• Social media creators, outdoor enthusiasts, and educational institutions that demonstrate or document long exposures.

Benefits at a Glance

• Reduces light by 12 stops for long exposures
• Color-neutral, low-reflection results
• High-quality optical glass, multi-coated
• Ultra-slim aluminum frame minimizes vignetting
• Water-, oil-, and dirt-repellent

What makes this product special

The Haida ND 12-stop filter combines the highest optical quality with practical usability. Its color-neutral light reduction enables long exposures without color shifts. The ultra-flat frame prevents vignetting, and the water- and dirt-repellent coating protects the filter even during outdoor use. This allows you to reliably achieve creative effects even in bright light.

Compatibility

The filter is suitable for lenses with a 72mm filter thread.

Notice:
This gray filter usually does not interfere with the automatic exposure metering of the camera. It can therefore be used in all automatic modes (e.g. P, Av, Tv). With some cameras, however, it may be necessary to cover the viewfinder so that the exposure metering is not distorted by incident light. Further, with filters of 3 f-stops or more, it is no longer possible to see on the camera screen. For this reason, focusing and image cropping would have to be done beforehand.
Due to the slim design, the lens cap does not sit as snugly as without a filter and can therefore fall off more quickly. 

The aperture reduction of ND filters is calculated as follows:
The density of ND filters is usually given in steps of 0.3.
To get the aperture reduction, first multiply the value by 10 and then divide it by 3.

0.3 x 10 = 3 | 3 = 1 f-stop
0.9 x 10 = 9 | 3 = 3 f-stops
0.6 x 10 = 6 | 3 = 2 f-stops
1.2 x 10 = 12 | 3 = 4 f-stops
1.8 x 10 = 18 | 3 = 6 f-stops
3.0 x 10 = 30 | 3 = 10 f-stops
3.6 x 10 = 36 | 3 = 12 f-stops
4.5 x 10 = 45 | 3 = 15 f-stops
