Hoya 52mm HD MKII IRND 64 Neutral Density 1.8 6-Stop Filter

When seeking precise control over both visible and infrared light spectrums, the 52mm HD MKII IRND 64 Neutral Density 1.8 6-Stop Filter from Hoya is an exceptional choice. Leveraging Hoya's exclusive ACCU-ND technology, this high-quality filter ensures equal reduction of light across all spectrums, eliminating the common issue of color shift in varying shooting conditions.

As a crucial tool for filmmakers and photographers, neutral density filters like this one provide the ability to meticulously manage the amount of light passing through the lens. For filmmakers, this translates into shutter speeds that align with your frame-rate while maintaining creative depth-of-field control. For photographers, it enables longer exposures or shallower depth-of-field even in the brightest sunlight conditions.

The 52mm HD MKII IRND 64 Neutral Density 1.8 6-Stop Filter is housed in a new low-profile, lightweight, precision-milled aluminum frame. This durable frame is designed to prevent light leaks and bleeding around the filter, which can occur during long exposures. It also includes front filter threads, allowing for the attachment of additional filters or a protective lens cap.

This versatile filter features anti-reflection multi-coatings, reducing reflections caused by scattered light rays - a common concern during long exposures. Additionally, a waterproof and oil repellent top-coat is applied for easy cleaning and maintenance, making this filter both effective and easy to use.

For photographers seeking to achieve a specific effect in their final image, the 52mm HD MKII IRND 64 Neutral Density 1.8 6-Stop Filter can be combined or "stacked" with other filters. For instance, pairing this filter with the HD MKII IRND 1000 will provide 16 stops of light reduction, allowing you to capture the surface of the sun without overexposure. This flexibility makes the 52mm HD MKII IRND 64 Neutral Density 1.8 6-Stop Filter a valuable addition to any photography equipment collection.
