Hoya 62mm HD MKII IRND 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter

Enhance your photography and filmmaking skills with the 62mm HD MKII IRND 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter. This high-quality filter utilizes HOYA's unique ACCU-ND technology, ensuring an equal reduction of light across both visible and IR spectrums. This advanced feature eliminates the common issue of color shift, providing consistent, reliable results in any shooting conditions.

Neutral density filters are essential tools for both photographers and filmmakers. They provide precise control over the amount of light that passes through the lens. For filmmakers, this translates into the ability to match shutter speeds with your frame-rate, while still maintaining creative depth-of-field control. For photographers, it enables longer exposures or a shallower depth-of-field, even in the brightest sunlight conditions.

The 62mm HD MKII IRND 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter is housed in a new low-profile, lightweight, precision-milled aluminum frame. This innovative design effectively prevents light leaks and bleeding around the filter, which can occur during long exposures. The frame also features front filter threads, allowing for the attachment of additional filters or a protective lens cap.

The HD MKII IRND series boasts an anti-reflection multi-coating, significantly 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.

The choice of ND filters is dependent on the photographer's vision and the demands of the situation. If a single ND filter doesn't meet these requirements, a combination of filters can be used. For instance, combining the HD MKII IRND 64 with the HD MKII IRND 1000 will provide a staggering 16 stops of light reduction, enabling you to capture the surface of the sun without overexposure.

In conclusion, the 62mm HD MKII IRND 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter is a versatile, high-performance tool that can significantly enhance your photography and filmmaking endeavors.
