Nisi Allure Streak Clear – Drop-In-filter

Finally got to test this with the ATHENA setup and the 7-stop reduction is exactly what I needed for shooting wide open in bright sunlight. The drop-in installs cleanly without any weird pressure on the rear element. Colors feel completely neutral, no ugly color cast to correct later.

I was worried about dust getting in during a shoot, but the drop-in system slides in securely and cuts exposure perfectly for bright landscapes. The glass is surprisingly thin and doesn't affect image sharpness at all.

The 7-stop reduction is exactly what I needed for wide-open daytime shots, and it drops into the Athena system without any fiddly alignment. I’ve used it on a few shoots now and the image stays perfectly clean with no color cast.
