Hoya 49mm HD MKII IRND 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter

Become a master of light control with the 49mm HD MKII IRND 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter. This high-quality, durable filter from the reputable brand, Hoya, utilizes exclusive ACCU-ND technology to ensure equal reduction of light across both visible and IR spectrums. This effective technology eliminates the common issue of color shift, providing consistent, reliable results in any shooting conditions.

This versatile neutral density filter is an essential tool for both filmmakers and photographers. It allows precise control over the amount of light passing through the lens, enabling filmmakers to match shutter speeds to their frame-rate while maintaining creative depth-of-field control. For photographers, it facilitates longer exposures or shallower depth-of-field in the brightest sunlight conditions.

The filter is housed in a new low-profile, lightweight, precision-milled aluminum frame. This design not only enhances durability but also prevents light leaks and bleeding around the filter that can occur during long exposures. The frame also includes front filter threads, allowing for the attachment of additional filters or a protective lens cap.

The HD MKII IRND series applies an anti-reflection multi-coating that effectively reduces reflections caused by scattered light rays, a common concern during long exposures. A waterproof and oil repellent top-coat is applied for easy cleaning and maintenance, making this filter a reliable choice for professional use.

The choice of ND filters depends on the intentions of the photographer to achieve the desired effect in the final image. If using a single ND filter does not satisfy the demands of the situation, or the photographer's vision, a combination of filters can be useful. For example, the combination of HD MKII IRND 64 + HD MKII IRND 1000 will provide 16 stops of light reduction that will allow capturing the surface of the sun without overexposure. Embrace the power of light control with the 49mm HD MKII IRND 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter.
