Questions & Answers

Shopper : Will it work with a Nikon D3500?STEPHEN N : Yes, just make sure your lens has 77mm threads, or you need to buy an adapter. I have taken some nice photos of waterfalls with this filter. You also need a tripod or some way to stabilize the camera if taking a long exposure like that.

Great filter at a very reasonable price

Filter arrived in sturdy packaging and in good shape. Initial inspection did not reveal any imperfections. I have not had a chance yet to ?put it through it?s paces?, and I am anxious to do so. I will follow up with any issues I encounter.

Great Filter!

I only buy Hoya! The only brand I trust out in the field. I installed this filter on my new RF Lens and works great for those overexposed shots I run into in the middle of the day.

Amazing ND filter

I bought this filter on sale for my samsung note 10 plus and this works amazing. I'm just a novice film maker. I watch a lot of moment video tips and tricl and I'm glad I grabbed this. It definitely gives avery cinematic look. The 77mm works great for the note 10 cameras. Almost a must due to wide angle. If you can afford it, a must buy

Quality Plus awesome

Smooth to adjust giving the smoothest visual representation of what user is about to photograph or video.. I have used filters before,but this on an iPhone with moment lenses is just something else , stunning and artistic capabilities at fingertips.... highly recommended.

Love it! Makes the footage

Love it! Makes the footage of the iPhone increadibly cinematic. Especially when used with the anamorphic lens. But watch out if you want to ise it with a gimbal. Migh not work with most of them.

Good Color Control

No variable ND filter is perfect, but this one ranks pretty high. For me, the quality of the color is the highest priority, and this filter does not seem to degrade color at all, at least in the middle filtration range. I typically only need 3 to 6 stops filtration, and this filter produces results that are on par with my best (B+W, Heliopan) non-variable ND filters. If you try to push the filtration past 8-stops, you will get the "X" (like all other variable NDs). In summary, the color quality, image sharpness, range of filtration and lighter weight (than brass filters) outweighed any negatives (minimum filter size, "X" effect, and possible jamming with aluminum threads). The threading on this filter is really high quality though, much better than other aluminum ring filters. Hope this helps.

Hoyas 77 mm variable neutral density filter

By Jonathan W.

Good quality and sale price!

Variable ND Filters

Hoya SOLAS Variable NDX.

Variable Neutral density filters are a convenient tool for filmmakers and photographers because they reduce the need to carry multiple ND filters and they allow you to precisely control the amount of light by 10ths-of-a-stop by rotating the outer ring to adjust exposure. For filmmakers, this means shutter speeds that match your frame-rate while maintaining the depth-of-field you want. For photographers, it means you can reach longer exposures or achieve a shallow depth-of-field in bright sunlight.

Consistent Color From 1.3 To 8.7 Stops.

The Hoya SOLAS Variable NDX filter solves the problem of unpredictable "Color Shift" by using only the latest technology, premium materials with an exclusive "Depolarization" layer baked into the optical formula. The result: a filter that maintains consistent color from 1.3-stops to 8.7-stops. Filmmakers can now tweak density as the light changes without fear of a color grading nightmare in post. Photographers can focus, compose and set WB at 1.3-stops then adjust density as much as 8.7 stops without having to change filters.

Density range - 1.3-stops to 8.7-stops

  • Density range - 1.3-stops to 8.7-stops
  • Special Depolarization Layer for Color Consistency
  • Sharp and Glare-free results
