Hoya Variable ND Filter 

Shop Hoya 52mm Variable ND filter (1.5-9 stops) for superior image control. Glass build, aluminum ring. Enhance your photography today!

The Hoya Variable Neutral Density (ND) Filter (0.45-2.7ND) uses two polarizing layers to control the amount of light that passes through the filter and into the camera lens. At it's minimum effect the filter passes 1/3 of the light in a scene. That is equal to 1.5 stops on the aperture or shutter speed. At it maximum effect the filter passes just 1/400 of the light in a scene. That is equal to 9 stops on the aperture or shutter speed.  After the filter is mounted on the lens, turning the filter ring between "Min" and "Max" can greatly control the amount of light entering the lens. With the Hoya Variable Neutral Density (ND) Filter (0.45-2.7ND) it is possible to shoot with fast lenses like 50mm f/1.4 lenses wide open at f/1.4 in full sun for a very shallow depth of field. Or, to slow down the shutter speed to where the shutter can be open for several seconds in full sunlight. This is enough to create artistic blurring shots of motion on water, cars, people or almost anything that moves. The creative possibilities are endless.  The Hoya Variable Neutral Density (ND) Filter (0.45-2.7ND) uses high-quality optical glass from Hoya Corporation, the worlds largest optical glass manufacturer and is available in sizes 52mm to 82mm.  For best results Hoya recommends using a tripod when photographing at slow shutter speeds.

I was finally able to capture some photos of the sea crashing on a rocky beach in Maine the way I had wanted to for years when I had this ND filter and my tripod with me. Highly recommended.

Highly versatile, variable ND filter

Purchased as a gift for my son.  It adjusts smoothly from slightly darkened to totally opaque.  A good way to begin working with ND filters without having to purchase a whole collection of filters.

Day to Night

I love hoya filters. They are made with great quality glass and give me no image issues. I have their entire line up for all my different lenses.

Best bang for your buck ND filters

Works perfectly! Glad I bought it. Reasonable pricing!

Hoya ND filter

I love Hoya filters. They are 100% worth the price. Don't scrimp on cheapo filters as your photos or video will def suffer. I've used cheaper ones and they are very inconsistent or break easily. You won't go wrong with Hoya.

outstanding filter

This works great, no problems with my lens hood over the top. Great price versus some of the designer filters, and every bit as good.

Workds great, very clear

For the film makers out there, this is a great deal if you shoot on a lens greater than 35mm. The variable dial action doesn’t slip and it’s easy to dial in for the perfect exposure. I’m just getting started so this was a great deal!

HOYA variable ND filter

It does exactly what it was designed to do.

It simply works.

Provides much needed reduction in light to control shutter speed.
In freezing temperatures, waves appear on the higher end of the density.

All around good product

Nice product

Free shipping was offered and I ordered this a week before I needed it.  Adorama chose a carrier known for multi-week deliveries so that by the time I got it there was no longer need for it this year.   I complained and let them talk me out of refusing delivery, but got busy with 60-hour photography weeks so time slipped by and I'm stuck with it.   I really shouldn't have bought it, and every time I see it in the drawer I'll be angry again.  :-(

Caveat Emptor!

Beyond expectations!

Wish there was a way to know what ND level I am at.

Variable ND filter review

Sturdy and comes with a container, which I appreciate. I bought these after studying a few YouTube demos of ND filters. I settled on this for the aesthetic range it offers. It's sexy.

I appreciate the packaging.

Love this ND filter for the flexibility and not having to carry multiples in my bag. The perfect accessory for cutting out that extra light to get the look you want.  The quality is excellent .

Must Have Accessory

It's probably the best option for the price.I tried before other brands which suffered from a color cast and impossible to deal with x pattern marks on at least one-third of the steps. This one has only problems where it has an x marked at the end,  and the user manual advises about it. Probably there are better options, but not likely at that price point. I would recommend it.

Excellent filter considering it's price.

Great for video and works will for photography. Just what I needed.

Great ND filter

This has changed my videos overnight. Without a filter, I've struggled to keep an open lens without blowing out my shots. This filter was just what I needed.

Open up your lens

This filter produces a horrible cross vignette on the image when stopped down to the max. Would not recommend.

Horrible ND Filter

Good product, best variable ND filter for the price.

Good product

I was using really cheap ND filters in the past that had a horrible color cast on my videos. These are a HUGE upgrade! These Variable ND filters are a must! And I don’t notice any extra color grading to my footage.

These variable NDs are a must

I have just started using this lens with both my Sigma and Tamron lenses. It works well with both, although there is some distortion at the maximum setting.

Well made and functional

I got this to help with day time long exposure.  I had a $60 dollar coupon so I paid only $($) which is a steal! I love how easy this is to use. You literally just screw it on and dial to the exposure you want.  I don’t notice any focusing issues at all.  So far so good! :)

Great tool, Easy to use.

Excellent quality.  I like the ability to precisely adjust the filter for taking long exposure shots/

After long pondering I bought it!

First service was GREAT.  The filter although is horrible often I will get a curved X in the center of the picture ruining many shoots.  I am working out of town and thought I would try this filter out before taking it to Scotland with me and I am glad I did.  Hoys is a good name which is why I tried this but I am going back to Cokin individual ND filters.

Is this something I can return or exchange?

Thank you,

Mistakenly tried Variable ND Filter

After much research of various brands, this is truly an awesome filter and would truly recommend it to anyone in need of a ND Filter. An absolutely great price and performs even better.

An absolutely great price and performs even bette

This ND filter is much better than less expensive filters - the dreaded black X doesn't show up until the filter is at its darkest. There is some vignetting at wider angles, but overall, I'm happy with the purchase. I do wish I could use my lens cap while the filter is attached.
