The one thing to consider is that the light leak likely wouldn't be a problem if you used the round ND filters, so I don't really consider that to be a significant issue except if you choose to use a square filter system, but light leaks are concerns (and in some cases, problems) with many square filter systems, especially if they don't employ a type of "hood" design that blocks light leaking from all sides. Personally, I've gone with round filters... the downside is that you have to have the correct size for your lens (although depending on the lens hood for the lens, you can usually go up by bout 5mm without any issues). The primary advantage of square filter systems is you can buy one filter system and a bunch of adapter rings (which are much cheaper, like $10-$20) versus filters for each filter thread size you have. One other thing to keep in mind is that some filters may in fact stop more light than they are advertised. There are some good tests out there that show in some cases, with some filters, a 10-stop may in fact stop more like 10.5 or even 11-stops of light (rarely is it less light, it's usually more, and likely because of the extra coatings on the filter) so that's something to be aware of.
That seemed a very fair and objective comparison. I really like the Breakthrough cases and holder but for sharpness and brightness it seems to be Nisi, unfortunately though Nisi are very much like the standard Cokin and have a reputation for scratching easily. I don’t know if you’ve tried them but Im very pleased with the Formatt Hitech Firestone filters and I have a couple of the Cokin Nuance filters and I've had zero colour colour cast from them (unlike the standard Cokin). Great video, a definite subscribe.
These type of comparisons i think are the most valuable type of review! Keep it up. I normally shoot through Breakthrough Circular filters (and love them) but I just bought the NiSi 150mm filter holder because NiSi is the only one whom makes a 150mm with an attachment for my Sigma Art 14mm 1.8 and I was trying to decide if I should go with NiSi for my square filters or breakthrough. So this was EXACTLY what I needed to see. Thank you again!
how are you liking it? Im thinking of getting it for the Sigma art 14mm 1.8 too but currently only had the breakthrough screw on the lens filters (ND and CPL) for the 24-70 2.8..Should I grab it?
@@b3lievenhopephotography578 soo i was using breakthrough glass on the nisi filter. But i did really like the nisi cpl so if that is any example i love their glass ... the 150mm glass+holder just proved to be too cumbersome for my style of photography. I like to hike/bike etc to spots so space matters a bunch. I sold the filter holder and glass and ive actually sold that lens to tho i loved it (i moved into the nikon z mount and i have the 20mm/f1.8(77mm screw on) and the 14-30mm/f4(82mm screw on) and will get the 14-24/2.8(113mm screw on) in the future) All my screw on filters now are kase and breakthrough magnetic filters. Mag filters are game changers!
@@zZola_Photography wow yeah I have the z6 ii and was looking go get that 20mm!. But also still have my d850 and a bunch of f mount lenses.but I might have to go the route your going too..especially since I'm getting more into video too on the side and no filters are a must for daytime shots. But yeah I have the 35 and 85z lenses but man that 20mm looks so good also where did you find the magnetic breakthroughs? Their site seems to not have them yet?
@@b3lievenhopephotography578 I think the z9 is going to cause a huge off sell of fmount gear so I was worried the older gear is gonna plummet in price so I sold all my fmount it one shot with mpb(highly recommend) and used it towards a z9 preorder and a few lenses... I haven't gotten to shoot with the 20mm yet (I'm waiting for the new body and just picked up the 20mm on holiday special) but everything I know of it is amazing. I have had my mag breakthroughs for a while It seems like they completely discontinued the line until the Gen 2.0 come out (which is on hold due to complications in the drop in filter project they are working on. Its a really small company). Kase makes a really compact and true color mag set. (if i remember right when I tested em side by side breakthought NDs are a touch cooler in color but not magenta or other weird colors in either filter)
@@zZola_Photography cool man thanks for that info! Yeah I saw a couple vids on kase and it looks like the route I'm going to. Do I need different adapter sizes for diff lenses though? I'll have to look more into em..I'm fairly new at all these filters only had the breakthrough screw on ones for the past 3 years and never looked since.. thanks man!
The breakthrough x100 holder is kind of bad, light leaks will definitely happen when using a GND, apparently. People recommend the Benro HF100 which is said to be completely compatible with breakthrough glass.
I need to ask a further question please. You have a lot of filter experience. I have the VND SLR Magic Reflex 62 mm filter, but it doesn't satisfy me and I would like to buy a new VND filter for my GH6 + Leica 12-60mm. Many guys are extremely happy with the VND SLR Magic Reflex, but I am not. Can you recommend a very good VND filter please? I don't know if the Nisi is better than my VND SLR Magic Reflex because there are no comparison tests. Thanks for your advice.
Well done comparison. I use the Breakthrough 10-stop and B+W filters for other stops. I will give further consideration to NiSi in the future. I did not get the sense that you favored either the Breakthrough or NiSi filters and thought you provided a well balanced comparison. Like all such comparisons, there is an assumption that there is no manufacturing variability from one filter to the next of the same type and that may not be the case. While I appreciated the outdoor scenes I've always found them to have variables that are difficult to control, therefore I prefer seeing the images taken under more controlled conditions and for those images I would like to see a sharpness test in addition to the color test. With regards to using the color card, it would have been useful to have identified the RGB values of 3 or 4 color patches with and without the filters. You should assume that the color shifts you saw on your monitor will not be accurately displayed upon recording, processing and compressing the video.
michael brown thank you so much for watching really appreciate the comment. I have to agree with you I didn’t anticipate how much of a difference the video and TH-cam would make to the colours. Something for next time then. I have provided a link to the images so I hope that is useful.
The smearing in the corners of the Breakthrough filters is a serious problem (in my opinion) that would keep me from purchasing them. Thanks for revealing that. You also demonstrated that the Breakthrough filters are not as sharpe as the NiSi filters and you tried to minimize or gloss over that fact by saying you can add more sharpening. Software sharpening degrades an image and I would prefer to do as little as possible. Even though the NiSi filters have an ever so sight color shift to them I would favor adjusting the color balance of an image over sharpening them everyday of the week. Once you know how much to adjust the color balance you can simply add that amount as an adjustment in LR upon ingesting the images.
The sharpness vs colour issue is more of a personal opinion though. I wasn't trying to gloss over it cause I do call out breakthrough for trying to claim that they're the sharpest filters on the market. I then simply discuss what I value more and what I think is more useful to my workflow. In real world use as I demonstrate they're very close in terms of sharpness and detail. In any case after testing a bunch of filters from a bunch of manufacturers, I've found that Wine Country are quite possibly the best on the market. They have best of both regarding sharpness and colour neutrality. Also due to the vault system light leaks are not an issue with Wine Country. You should check them out.
Would be interesting if you could compare both Breakthrough and Nisi, but their round screw-in filters. Because I think that would solve some/all of the light-leak problems as you'd be able to use the lens hood as well with the filters. I think using round filters might tell a slightly different story.
Very interesting well done video! This is off topic, but I’d love to have your thoughts on protective lenses either clear or uv. Do you use them? Do you know any that have a minimal effect on the resulting images? It seems that some of the protective lens lens coatings that combat reflections also increase contrast and color saturation, effects that I’d like to avoid or minimize. The Breakthrough X4 UV is one protective lens I’ve considering along with others by Heliopan, and Zeiss.
I wrote a whole article about UV filters after having detailed discussions with several manufacturers. UV filters are not designed to protect against anything except minor abrasions, dust and particles. They offer no protection of any kind against impact damage. Tests have been done and manufacturers have confirmed this too. I don't personally use them. Thank you for watching really appreciate the kind words :). petapixel.com/2020/05/13/manufacturers-confirm-uv-filters-are-not-designed-to-protect-your-lenses/
@@Sondercreative Thanks very much, Usman. Interesting article I still have some worries about scratches/abrasion, but am leaning towards going the no protective lens route. I’ll be taking my new FF gf lenses out into remote nature, but with some care, and maybe that insurance you mentioned will probably be fine - and no image degradation to worry about! Cheers, Jack
@@jackhoyer7467 Lens caps and lens hood go a long way to help prevent scratches. GF lenses are amazing so yes a UV filter will likely affect the image quality for those kinds of lenses.
Thanks for the review! Suprirsed that there aren't more in-depth videos or articles on Breakthrough Photography. They're out with the magnetic holders for their circular and x100 holders. Waiting to see what the x150 holder looks like to see if I can just use 1 holder to cover my Sony lenses that go from 12-24mm to 70-200mm.
@@Sondercreative What was the issue with the holder itself? It looks like any other holder in this category. The holder is flat with adapter rings and the 100mm square filter has a gasket of some sort. Where are the light leaks coming from?
@@sebastiang7183 the light leaks were coming from the side of the holder. The breakthrough filters in the NiSi holder would perform better but not the other way round.
@@Sondercreative Thanks for the feedback. I got this holder as part of a purchase. Hopefully it doesn’t end up a source of frustration. I might have to make a custom seal if it comes down to it.
I am not very familiar with filter holders. What about the light leak? Does not seem like something easily solved in post. Did you have a solution that made the lightleak difference moot?
Nam Thai unfortunately the breakthrough filters currently produce more light leaks, however, without getting into too much detail I’ve heard they are working on something that would fix it properly.
How does Breakthrough compare on durability. Seen quite a few reviews on the NISI filters stating they scratch easily. Any idea if Breakthrough filters can be used in NISI holder and vice versa
Ryan Cullen breakthrough are definitely more durable, although scratches don’t cause any major issues. Both filters can be used in almost all 100mm holder systems so yes will work with each other.
Sumit Aggarwal I haven’t tried any circular ND filters from either company however, Wine country do have much better Square filters. The 100mm filters from wine country are the best I’ve used so far and I’ve used a whole bunch of different filters from lots of companies.
@@Sondercreative The X4's generally result in darker results, the X2 not as much, but the X2 also has fewer coatings which may be part of the reason. If people shoot in RAW, color shifts are not as big of a deal especially if you use a grey card in a reference shot.

Very helpful video, than you. I have Lee filter holder and my short question for anyone willing to answer is - can I use Nisi ND wiht Lee Foundation kit filter holder? (100mm) Thank you :)
How can any photographer say that color is more important than sharpness. Color is much easier to correct and less damaging to the image. NiSi filters are all made of the highest quality lens grade optical glass. The reviewer obviously has some kind of conflict of interest here. I do not believe this to be an honest review.
I can't help but feel like this is sponsored or influenced by Breakthrough some how. You aren't being 100% transparent. Even in your examples, I can clearly see the NiSi looks most like your control image and the Breakthrough has a colour shift. I use NiSi filters and have 100% zero colour shifts, which is why I dumped Formatt-Hitech and Lee filters. I am not a NiSi ambassador or affiliated in any way.
Adam Correia breakthrough filters have less colour shift and NiSi filters are sharper with more colour shift. This isn’t sponsored because I got filters for free from both companies. If it were sponsored by breakthrough I doubt NiSi would be happy sending me filters for this comparison. Also if you check Facebook you’ll see how much NiSi are sharing my video on their pages both U.K. and head office.
Definitely his approach in the review feels more like sponsored. In other video he shatters two filter to show what break through claim. Definitely not transperant.
BillXCIII have seen him a lot of times doing such things where he isnt transperant. Thats why you have to watch multiple reviews to come on decision cannot trust youtube sources.
You make ZERO sense... only the fanboy opinion defensive of your purchase. Why in the world will he say the Nisi is sharper if he is sponsored by Breakthrough???!!!! Are you serious? Some people only believe things if they aligned with their own biased opinions..otherwise it must be wrong.
I point out good and bad on both sides show that breakthrough filters are not the sharpest in the world and you think I’m endorsed by them, seriously? You know breakthrough were annoyed by this review and nisi shared it on all of their socials lol.
@@Sondercreative You're welcome dude! Just finished watching your ND vs stacking vid - so i'm definitely going to get one. Would you recommend a screw on filter or a holder that you place the filter into? I'm thinking go for screw on but the biggest size possible and use step up filters to fit the lenses I have?
Of course, my monitors are calibrated and I use tools like a colour Checker Digital SG. Having a colour shift is not personal taste, it's a flaw. Editing your images to personal taste is a very different thing to having flaws in the initial image. Next you'll be saying digital noise in an image doesn't matter if you're going to edit your images for personal taste.

Very helpful - I've been debating these two systems. Thank you for your review!
10 stops up from 1/30th of a second is 34 seconds - factor of 2^10 = 1024.

@@Sondercreative You're welcome dude! Just finished watching your ND vs stacking vid - so i'm definitely going to get one. Would you recommend a screw on filter or a holder that you place the filter into? I'm thinking go for screw on but the biggest size possible and use step up filters to fit the lenses I have?
Talking about neutral colors without color calibration is garbage. Who needs zero color shift, if the picture is edited for personal taste?
Of course, my monitors are calibrated and I use tools like a colour Checker Digital SG. Having a colour shift is not personal taste, it's a flaw. Editing your images to personal taste is a very different thing to having flaws in the initial image.
Next you'll be saying digital noise in an image doesn't matter if you're going to edit your images for personal taste.
wait a moment, is that leeds???
