NX-Series Backpacker Kit
The best NX-Series kit to exploit all the possibilities of neutral graduated filters in 3 maximum densities GND4, GND8 and GND16
The NX-Series Routard Kit includes the NX-Series filter-holder, three soft transition graduated neutral density filters GND4, GND8 and GND16, all of which are supplied in aluminium frames. The kit also includes three adapter rings in diameters of 72mm, 77mm and 82mm and a soft wallet so that you can start shooting immediately. Soft graduated neutral density filters are traditionally used in filter-holder systems to reduce excessive brightness differences in the scene being photographed, regardless of the geometric shapes of the landscape. Because they are longer than they are wide, it is possible to place their transition zone anywhere in the image by simply moving the filter vertically in the filter holder-slides.
The Routard NX-Series Kit covers all ambient light conditions, from the slightest to the most extreme differences in brightness. The three graduated neutral density filters GND4, GND8 and GND16, which absorb 2, 3 and 4 f/stops respectively in the darkest part of the glass, can be used alone or in combination. It is then possible to reach very high density values by combining 2 filters :
. GND4 & GND8 = GND32 (max. 5 f/stops)
. GND4 & GND16 = GND64 (max. 6 f/stops)
. GND8 & GND16 = GND128 (max. 7 f/stops)
In the end, it is possible to compensate for up to 6 brightness differences: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 f/stops.
If you don't have any Nuances Extreme filters yet, you can complete the Routard NX-Series Kit later by adding a dedicated polarising filter and other square or rectangular Nuances Extreme filters. Keep in mind that for the Cokin filter ranges, only the Nuances Extreme filters in size L are compatible with the FR100NXS and FR143NXS filter frames dedicated to the NX-Series filter holder. The Cokin Creative CR39 resin filters in size L are not compatible with the NX-Series system due to the higher dimensional tolerance of these filters compared to the much tighter tolerance of the filter frames.
