Anyone who shoots landscapes, water, or glass knows the frustration of a polarizing filter that fixes the glare but wrecks the color — skies turn an unnatural inky blue, foliage takes on a weird cast, and skin tones shift just enough to look off. The NiSi 62mm True Color CPL exists specifically to solve that trade-off.
Glare control without the color penalty
As a circular polarizer, this filter does what CPLs are known for: cutting reflections and glare off non-metallic surfaces like water, glass, and wet foliage, while boosting saturation and tonal depth in skies and landscapes. The difference is in the name — NiSi’s True Color engineering is built to avoid the warm or blue color cast that many polarizers introduce, so what you shoot is closer to what you actually saw through the viewfinder.
Built to survive real shooting conditions
The filter uses Cine Seal technology, which blackens and seals the edge of the polarizing film. That’s not just a cosmetic detail — it adds durability and helps the filter resist temperature swings and condensation, both common hazards for anyone shooting outdoors at dawn, in humidity, or across seasons.
On top of that, NiSi’s Pro Nano coating makes the glass water- and oil-repellent and easier to wipe clean of dust, fingerprints, and water spots, so you spend less time fussing with a cleaning cloth mid-shoot.
Designed for how you actually use a CPL
The two-tone aluminum frame — silver back ring, black front ring — isn’t just a style choice. The knurled sides give you a secure grip for twisting the filter into position, and the ultra-slim, two-color frame is built to support a standard lens cap, so you’re not stuck carrying the filter separately. At 62mm, it fits a wide range of popular lens threads directly, without needing a step-up ring.
A couple of things to know
A CPL filter, by nature, reduces the light reaching your sensor, so expect to lose roughly one to two stops of exposure when it’s dialed in — factor that into your settings in lower light. It’s also a sizing-specific filter: double-check that 62mm matches your lens’s thread size before buying, since NiSi sells this same filter in multiple diameters.
Who it suits
The NiSi 62mm True Color CPL is a strong pick for landscape and travel photographers who are tired of polarizers that distort color to kill glare, as well as anyone shooting water, glass, or reflective surfaces who wants the reflection cut without the color tax. Videographers will appreciate the Cine Seal durability for repeated outdoor use. If you’re shooting mostly indoors or in controlled lighting where polarization isn’t a factor, you likely won’t get much use from it — but for anyone chasing accurate color in the field, this filter earns its place in the bag.
