Hoya 55.0 PRO ND EX 8 Filter

The Hoya ND 8 reduces light by an equivalent of 3 stops. ABOUT ND FILTERS Neutral density filters (ND filters) are the most sought-after and important types of photographic filters for several reasons. For photographers, ND filters mean precise control over the amount of light that reaches the lens, allowing for greater creative control over exposure. For content creators, ND filters are very helpful in setting shutter speeds to match frame rates while maintaining the depth of field of the footage. HOYA offers both photographers and filmmakers an exclusive and extensive range of ND filters embedded in the PROND series. PROND filters utilize HOYA's clear optical glass, mounted in a lightweight, precisely crafted aluminum frame. The frame features a front filter thread, allowing you to attach additional filters or a lens cap. Thanks to the leading ACCU-ND technology, the image experiences no negative effects from color shifts that can occur due to inferior materials, poor quality control during manufacturing, or issues with infrared light spectrum leakage. This last issue is the most critical in photography and videography today. With HOYA's exclusive ACCU-ND technology, a uniform reduction of light in the visible and IR spectrum is achieved. As a result, photographers need not worry about color shifts when using HOYA ND filters under various shooting conditions.
