Product Information

Full details

The Cokin Nuances Clearsky Filter is an essential tool for landscape, cityscape, and astrophotographers who need to combat the disruptive orange and yellow glow of artificial light pollution. Designed for use with lenses featuring an 82mm filter thread, this high-resolution neodymium glass filter restores natural color balance and boosts contrast in night-time scenes; however, users should be aware that it specifically targets sodium and mercury vapor lamp wavelengths and may not eliminate all forms of LED-based light pollution.

FAQs

Can I use this filter during the day?

While it is optimized for night photography, it can be used during the day to enhance contrast in blue skies, though its primary function is light pollution reduction.

Does this filter affect autofocus?

Generally, it does not, but in very low-light conditions, the slight reduction in light intake may cause your camera's autofocus to hunt more than usual.

Will this work with my 77mm lens?

You will need a 77mm-to-82mm step-up ring to mount this filter on a 77mm lens thread.

Is the filter glass stackable?

Yes, it features a front thread allowing you to stack other filters, but be cautious of vignetting when using wide-angle lenses.

How should I clean the waterproof coating?

Use a soft microfiber cloth. The anti-oil coating makes it easy to wipe away fingerprints without needing harsh chemical solvents.

Troubleshooting

Visible vignetting on wide-angle lenses

Ensure you are not using an additional stack of filters, which can cause depth-based light cutoff at the corners of your frame.

Difficulty removing the filter from the lens

Use a dedicated rubber filter wrench to apply uniform pressure, or ensure your hands are dry to gain better grip on the knurled edges.

Images look too dark or underexposed

The filter cuts specific light frequencies. Increase your exposure time or open the aperture slightly to compensate for the light reduction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces orange/yellow artificial light cast
  • Durable anti-scratch and oil-resistant coatings
  • High-quality neodymium glass preserves image sharpness
  • Excellent for both long-exposure astrophotography and urban night scenes

Cons

  • Specific to vapor lamp wavelengths; may be less effective against modern full-spectrum LEDs
  • Requires an 82mm thread or step-up ring for different lens sizes
  • Reduces total light intake slightly, requiring longer exposures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, screw the filter clockwise into the 82mm front filter thread of your lens until secure; avoid overtightening to ensure easy removal. If using a lens with a smaller diameter, use a high-quality metal step-up ring to avoid vignetting. When storing, keep the filter in a protective case away from direct sunlight and sharp objects. If the glass gets dirty or smudged, use a clean microfiber cloth and a dedicated optical cleaning solution to wipe the surface gently in a circular motion. The AF-coated surface is resistant to oil and moisture, but you should always dry the filter thoroughly before placing it back into its storage pouch to prevent moisture trapped against the lens element.
