Great Service

Great service and I love the filter. I hav used Adrorama before. Initially I received the wrong lens. Customer service was great to work with for the return and getting the right filter before our trip.

First Impressions

- Well made and easy to use. I'm not crazy about using the screw on "lever" to turn the outer ring, but it's not really needed either. The ring turns easily without the lever and is easier to store back in the container it comes in w/o fiddling around with and perhaps losing the small lever.

Bring your photography and videography to the next level with the HOYA 52mm Variable Density II Filter. This high-quality, durable filter offers an adjustable density range from 1.5 to 9 f-stops (ND3-400), providing you with the versatility to control the amount of light entering your camera.

The HOYA Variable Density II Filter stands out from its predecessor with a newly designed rotatable frame equipped with a convenient knob for improved operation. This feature allows photographers and videographers to adjust the filter density according to their desired exposure settings, making it an efficient tool for a variety of shooting situations.

Variable density filters are essential for both still and video shooting. In still photography, they allow for the lowering of shutter speed according to the photographer's intentions when camera limits prevent a decrease in speed. They also enhance bokeh when shooting in over-lit conditions, preventing image overexposure.

In video shooting, maintaining the correct shutter speed to fit the frame rate setting is crucial. The HOYA Variable Density II Filter helps achieve this balance, preventing a jarring effect and afterimages that can detract from the final video. By using this filter, you can adjust the shutter speed to achieve natural and smooth motion in your video footage.

The HOYA Variable Density II Filter features an exclusive rotatable frame construction that minimizes the risk of vignetting when used on wide-angle lenses. Please note, however, that vignetting may occur with APS-C size wide-angle lenses at a focal length less than 13mm and Full Frame wide-angle lenses at a focal length less than 24mm.

This filter also allows for the use of a larger lens cap due to its specific frame structure. For instance, a 77mm HOYA Variable Density II can accommodate an 82mm lens cap.

The HOYA Variable Density II Filter enables longer exposures without changing the aperture, providing the freedom to adjust the shutter speed for desired effects such as motion blurring. It also allows for wider apertures in over-lit conditions, decreasing depth-of-field and focusing more attention on the subject.

For video bloggers and professional video content creators, the HOYA Variable Density II Filter is a must-have. It allows for the setting of appropriate exposures in bright lighting conditions, helping to achieve a cinematic look. With this filter, overexposure issues can be avoided by adjusting the light intake, making it an indispensable tool for all your photography and videography needs.
