Hoya 55mm PROND EX 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter

Become a master of light control with the 55mm PROND EX 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter. This high-quality and durable filter is an essential tool for both filmmakers and photographers, offering precise control over the amount of light that passes through your lens. This results in greater creative control over exposure, allowing filmmakers to match shutter speeds with their frame-rate while maintaining the desired depth-of-field. Photographers can benefit from longer exposures or achieve a shallow depth-of-field even in bright sunlight.

Unlike many neutral density filters on the market, the PROND EX 8 Neutral Density Filter eliminates the issue of unpredictable color shift, often caused by low-quality materials, poor manufacturing, and neglect of the infrared band of the light spectrum. Thanks to Hoya's exclusive ACCU-ND technology, this filter ensures equal reduction of light in both visible and IR spectrums, eliminating any negative effects from color shift. This means you can confidently use Hoya ND filters in various shooting conditions without worrying about color inconsistencies.

The PROND EX 8 Neutral Density Filter is mounted into a lightweight, precision-milled aluminum frame, ensuring its durability and longevity. It also includes front filter threads, allowing you to attach additional filters or a protective lens cap for added versatility.

This filter is also an effective tool for video shooting, particularly when using cameras like Sony in Slog mode where the ISO cannot be set below 800. To achieve natural motion and cinematic quality, the PROND EX 8, PROND EX 64, PROND EX 1000 or a combination of these filters can be used.

For photographers seeking to achieve a specific effect in their final image, the PROND EX 8 can be combined with other PROND EX filters. For instance, stacking PROND EX 8 with PROND EX 64 results in an effect equivalent to an ND500 filter, perfect for creating surreal imagery. Similarly, combining PROND EX 8 with PROND EX 1000 results in an effect equivalent to an ND8000 filter, enabling you to capture even the surface of the sun without overexposure.

In essence, the 55mm PROND EX 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter is a versatile, easy-to-use tool that enhances your creative control, making it an invaluable addition to your photography or filmmaking equipment.
