Hoya HD Mk II IRND1000 (3.0) Neutral Density Filter 62mm

The Hoya HD Mk II IRND1000 (3.0) neutral density filter reduces light to the equivalent of 10 f-stops. With ACCU-ND IR-cut technology, water and oil-repellent coating, and low-profile frame. Density 3.0, divides incoming light by 1000 (10 stops). Neutral density (ND) filters are the most requested and essential type of photographic filter for several reasons. For photographers, ND filters mean precise control over the amount of light passing through the lens for better creative exposure control. For video creators, ND filters greatly help to adjust shutter speeds to match frame rates while maintaining depth of field in footage. Create otherworldly images. The HD Mk II IRND1000 is perfect for 'imaginary landscape' or 'other world' style photos. With a density of 1000, you can easily remove a person from an urban landscape, shoot very long exposures under daytime conditions, or capture time-lapse videos of objects or people in motion to create captivating fast-motion films. Combining the ND1000 with the ND64 results in a ND64000 density suitable for shooting directly at the sun, such as during an eclipse, without overexposure or color washout while preserving details like black spots. ACCU-ND technology ensures uniform light reduction across the entire visible light spectrum and IR. This means there's no infrared leakage from the light spectrum, ensuring the image isn't negatively affected by color changes. Multi-layer anti-reflective coating with water and oil repellency. The HD Mk II IRND series uses a multi-layer anti-reflective coating that reduces reflections caused by the filter. The coating also features water and oil-repellent properties for easy cleaning without stress. Low-profile HD frame. The HD Mk II IRND series utilizes an ultra-thin, lightweight, precision-engineered aluminum frame, significantly reducing the risk of vignetting when using with wide-angle lenses. It's also useful when stacking filters, which can be done thanks to the integrated front filter thread.
