Control reflectionsThe HOYA HD nano Mk II CIR-PL filter allows you to create unique effects in your photo which are not achievable through editing software in post production.One such effect is the controlling of light reflections on glass or water surfaces. The HOYA HD nano Mk II CIR-PL allows you to control light waves entering your lens, through the filtering of all polarized light. This allows you to see below surfaces of water.This effect is also great on glass surfaces. By removing reflections, you can look through the glass and into interiors.Enhance contrast and color saturationPolarized light is not limited to surface reflections, but light shining directly from the sky is polarized too. Air molecules, moisture and dust scatter sunlight, and this light can be filtered out with the HOYA HD nano Mk II CIR-PL. This allows you to greatly increase the contrast of the sky, removing haze, and enhancing blue hues.

HOYA engineers have developed a new ANTISTATIC coating that acts like a force field around the filter to repel dust. Perfect for environments where dust is common, these filters require less frequent cleaning and maintenance than traditional filters. Additionally, the hardened, antistatic top-layer is water repellent and stain resistant, and cleans easily when smudges or fingerprints are introduced to the surface. The UV filter cuts unwanted ultra-violet rays, reducing haze and increasing clarity.The new FUSION ANTISTATIC NEXT professional filters are made in Japan using hand selected silicates that are carefully smelted and blended to yield high performance optical glass. HOYA then uses extreme care and precision to apply the Improved 18-Layer Super Multi-Coating (both sides) formula which greatly reduces or eliminates reflections on the surface of the glass and yields a ultra clear high transmission rate. This means the filter has virtually no effect on the color balance, contrast, or clarity of the final image.The filters features a lightweight, one-piece, low-profile aluminum frame to house the glass. This one-piece design allows the filter to maintain perfect parallel alignment to the sensor plane for maximum sharpness, while the low-profile form eliminates vignetting when used on ultra-wide-angle lenses.

Perfect for environments where dust is common, these filters require less frequent cleaning and maintenance than traditional filters. Additionally, the hardened, antistatic top-layer is water repellent and stain resistant, and cleans easily when smudges or fingerprints are introduced to the surface.Circular polarizing filters allow photographers to achieve creative, in-camera, effects not possible after the image is created. A polarizing filter simply filters out unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass in addition to light reflecting off moisture and pollution in the atmosphere. By rotating ultra-smooth filter you can select just the right amount of filtration needed to achieve the creative effect. This results in bluer skies, greener leaves, reduced or eliminated reflections, and greater clarity in your final image.The new FUSION ANTISTATIC NEXT professional filters are made in Japan using hand selected silicates that are carefully smelted and blended to yield high performance optical glass.

For the past several years slow shutter photography is becoming an extremely popular genre because it provides ample opportunities to express the world around in an artistic and unusual way. For this purpose ND filter appears to be a necessary tool.But which ND filter is better to start with? This question might raise in mind of many amateur photographers who decided to challenge themselves in slow shutter photography. Keeping this question in mind we created an essential ND kit to help photographers quickly start this challenge.HOYA PROND EX FILTER KIT is an essential filter kit designed for amateur or professional photographers and video content creators. The kit consists of 3 ND filters - PROND EX 8, PROND EX 64 and PROND EX 1000, that allow photographer to capture the world in different expressions.The choice of ND filters depends on intentions of the photographer to control the shutter speed or aperture. The content of the HOYA PROND EX FILTER KIT is based on our sales data and experience of selling millions of ND filters all over the world. PROND EX 8, PROND EX 64 and PROND EX 1000 are the most essential ND filters that will help to realize three expressions that we consider to be commonly used among the photographers.HOYA PROND EX FILTER is a high technological product that is designed for still and HDSLR videography. The PROND EX filters use HOYA's exclusive clear optical glass that incorporates a metallic coating on front and back side to equally reduce almost all range of the light spectrum even in IR area. The ACCU-ND technology used in the coating process yields a truly neutral color balance that will not add any noticeable color cast to your images. HOYA PROND EX filters incorporates precisely developed thick aluminum frame to prevent light leakage, thus obtain correct exposure and color balance.PROND EX 8 (3-stops)HOYA PROND EX 8 is essential for shooting with fast lenses at wide open aperture during the daytime, which is perfect for portraiture at shallow depth of field. The subject appears crisp and clear on the soft blurred background. Other recommended scenes are night trails, fireworks and lightnings.PROND EX 64 (6-stops)HOYA PROND EX 64 is essential for expressing the object in blurred motion during the daytime, which cannot be realized only with camera settings. Recommended for landscape, city snapshot, video and other photographic genres.PROND EX 1000 (10-stops)HOYA PROND EX 1000 is essential for expressing an unreal fantasy world thanks to its 10 stops reduction of the light amount. Widely used in seascape to blur the waves, street snap to apply clouds motion and architecture to erase moving people.PROND EX filters in video productionND filters in video shooting is also an irreplaceable tool. For example, when shooting with Sony camera in Slog mode, ISO cannot be set below 800. To obtain natural motion shutter speed is recommended to be adjusted to frame/rate setting. During the daytime PROND EX 8, PROND EX 64, PROND EX 1000 or its combination (like PROND EX 8 + PROND EX 64) would be necessary to achieve cinematic quality.Combinatsions of PROND filtersThe choice of ND filters depends on photographer intentions to achieve the desired effect in the image. In case the effect by using single ND filter does not satisfy photographer's vision, combination of PROND EX filters can also be useful. For example, the combination of PROND EX 8 + PROND EX 64 will give the effect equal to ND500 filter, that can be used to express an unreal fantasy world. The combination of PROND EX 8 + PROND EX 1000 will give the effect equal to ND8000, that will allow to capture the surface of the Sun without overexposure with solid color and visibility of the black spots.

Neutral density (ND) filters are the most demanded and essential type of photographic filters because of several reasons. For photographers ND filter means precise control of the amount of light passing through the lens for greater creative control over exposure. For video content creators ND filters helps much to set shutter speeds to match the frame-rate while maintaining the depth-of-field of the footage.Among the varieties of ND filters from ND2 to ND1000 even ND100000, we can generally categorize ND filters into 3 basic groups: Light density filters (ND2 – ND8) Middle density filters (ND16 – ND200) Deep density filters (ND500 – ND1000 / ND100000) Light density filters will lower the shutter speed in the bright sunny day to allow you to reduce depth of field in very bright light or to use a wider aperture to stay below the diffraction limit. For example, these filters are necessary to shoot with your fast lenses like F1.4 or F1.2 with aperture wide open for softer and more beautiful bokeh.Middle density filters will help you to add motion blur to the object in the conditions that generally will not allow camera shutter speed to do so.If you are for more creative shots that are based on extremely slow shutter speeds - deep density filters are to be suggested. ND filters like ND500 or ND1000 will help to capture dramatic unreal fantasy world that cannot be seen by the human eye.Color shift issue solutionHOYA offers its own exclusive and wide lineup of ND filters that are branded into PROND EX series for both photographers and filmmakers. PROND EX filters adopt HOYA's clear optical glass that is mounted into a lightweight, precisely crafted aluminum frame. The frame has front filter threads so you can attach additional filters or a lens cap.Thanks to ACCU-ND technology that puts HOYA ND filters far ahead from other brands the image undergoes no negative affect from color shift that may occur due to low-quality materials, poor manufacturing QC, or issues with leaking of the Infrared band of the light spectrum. The last problem is the most important nowadays in photography and videography.HOYA's exclusive ACCU-ND technology achieves equal reduction of the light in visible and IR spectrums. As a result the photographer may not fear any issue with color shift when using HOYA ND filters in different shooting conditions.PROND filters in video productionND filters in video shooting is also an irreplaceable tool. For example, when shooting with Sony camera in Slog mode, ISO cannot be set below 800. To obtain natural motion shutter speed is recommended to be adjusted to frame/rate setting. During the daytime PROND EX 8, PROND EX 64, PROND EX 1000 or its combination (like PROND EX 8 + PROND EX 64) would be necessary to achieve cinematic quality.Combinations of PROND filtersThe choice of ND filters depends on photographer intentions to achieve the desired effect in the image. In case the effect by using single ND filter does not satisfy photographer's vision, combination of PROND EX filters can also be useful. For example, the combination of PROND EX 8 + PROND EX 64 will give the effect equal to ND500 filter, that can be used to express an unreal fantasy world. The combination of PROND EX 8 + PROND EX 1000 will give the effect equal to ND8000, that will allow to capture the surface of the Sun without overexposure with solid color and visibility of the black spots.

Made in Japan quality The HOYA SPARKLE series is a special cross-effect filter available in a 4-cross and 6-cross pattern. As opposed to conventional cross filters, the HOYA SPARKLE creates only moderately sized beams on light sources while softly enhancing their strength, creating a joyful and fairytale-like atmosphere in photos. From beginners to professionals, the HOYA SPARKLE is recommended for all photographers who want to express themselves in a creative way.A spark inside of usImagine spending a warm spring night with your friends around a campfire, going with your date to a festive illuminated park during a cold winter evening or watching a raindrop calmly running down a flower after a summer storm. These scenes create a special feeling of coziness and ease – a feeling that flickers like a warm spark inside of us.The sparkle effectConventional cross filters may appear with overly long light beams, cluttering and totally overloading your photos. Rather than letting the cross effect take over your photo, the HOYA SPARKLE aims to create a joyful atmosphere subtly through creating only moderately sized light beams. While doing so, the light sources themselves are also being gently enhanced, creating a perfect balance between strength of the light source and length of the light beams. Light sources can be anything – such as stars, light reflecting on water, or sunrays breaking through the crown of a tree.HOYA SPARKLE in astrophotographyThe HOYA SPARKLE 6X is a filter that absolutely shines (literally) in night sky photography. Through taking the light sources of brighter stars and converting them into 6-pointed stars, the SPARKLE series creates a simply beautiful and mesmerizing effect in your photos – creating a new standard for astrophotography.Choose your patternThe SPARKLE series consists of the SPARKLE 4X and the SPARKLE 6X, creating a four-cross pattern and six-cross pattern respectively. Try out both!Soft effectIn the absence of strong light sources in the composition, the HOYA SPARKLE produces a soft effect in your image, creating a dreamy atmosphere. This is especially recommended for portrait, flower and landscape photography. You can further strengthen the soft effect through increasing the focal length towards the telephoto end!Rotatable front frameThrough turning the front frame, you can change the angle of the cross pattern. This gives you the ability to always choose the perfect angle, personalizing your photos even further!Get the best results The cross effect appears from single point sources. Other forms of light sources, e.g., cylinder shaped light like from fluorescent lamps, will not produce an effect. There are also cases in which large light sources prevent the cross effect from appearing clearly. In these situations, try to move further away from the interfering light source and try shooting again. The strength of the light source, the focal distance and the aperture value have an impact on the cross effect. If your image is too dark when shooting illuminations, try increasing the exposure compensation. On the other hand, should the image be too bright, try with a reduced exposure compensation. Cross streaks can be seen better in dark background settings. Also, focusing on the light source makes for a crisper cross effect. Depending on the conditions, a mesh shaped flare will occur (strong light sources and back lighting conditions). Increasing the focal length towards the telephoto end will strengthen the soft effect. Light rays might distort at wide angles. When the aperture is reduced to around f/22, light rays may become dotted. Under circumstances, the HOYA SPARKLE produces a meshed pattern over the blurred parts in your image.

From beginners to professionals, the HOYA SPARKLE is recommended for all photographers who want to express themselves in a creative way.A spark inside of usImagine spending a warm spring night with your friends around a campfire, going with your date to a festive illuminated park during a cold winter evening or watching a raindrop calmly running down a flower after a summer storm. These scenes create a special feeling of coziness and ease – a feeling that flickers like a warm spark inside of us.The sparkle effectConventional cross filters may appear with overly long light beams, cluttering and totally overloading your photos. Rather than letting the cross effect take over your photo, the HOYA SPARKLE aims to create a joyful atmosphere subtly through creating only moderately sized light beams. While doing so, the light sources themselves are also being gently enhanced, creating a perfect balance between strength of the light source and length of the light beams. Light sources can be anything – such as stars, light reflecting on water, or sunrays breaking through the crown of a tree.HOYA SPARKLE in astrophotographyThe HOYA SPARKLE 4X is a filter that absolutely shines (literally) in night sky photography. Through taking the light sources of brighter stars and converting them into 4-pointed stars, the SPARKLE series creates a simply beautiful and mesmerizing effect in your photos – creating a new standard for astrophotography.Choose your patternThe SPARKLE series consists of the SPARKLE 4X and the SPARKLE 6X, creating a four-cross pattern and six-cross pattern respectively. Try out both!Soft effectIn the absence of strong light sources in the composition, the HOYA SPARKLE produces a soft effect in your image, creating a dreamy atmosphere. This is especially recommended for portrait, flower and landscape photography. You can further strengthen the soft effect through increasing the focal length towards the telephoto end!Rotatable front frameThrough turning the front frame, you can change the angle of the cross pattern. This gives you the ability to always choose the perfect angle, personalizing your photos even further!Get the best results The cross effect appears from single point sources. Other forms of light sources, e.g., cylinder shaped light like from fluorescent lamps, will not produce an effect. There are also cases in which large light sources prevent the cross effect from appearing clearly. In these situations, try to move further away from the interfering light source and try shooting again. The strength of the light source, the focal distance and the aperture value have an impact on the cross effect. If your image is too dark when shooting illuminations, try increasing the exposure compensation. On the other hand, should the image be too bright, try with a reduced exposure compensation. Cross streaks can be seen better in dark background settings. Also, focusing on the light source makes for a crisper cross effect. Depending on the conditions, a mesh shaped flare will occur (strong light sources and back lighting conditions). Increasing the focal length towards the telephoto end will strengthen the soft effect. Light rays might distort at wide angles. When the aperture is reduced to around f/22, light rays may become dotted. Under circumstances, the HOYA SPARKLE produces a meshed pattern over the blurred parts in your image.

HOYA Variable Density II is a density adjustable filter with an ND range from 1.5 to 9 f-stops (ND3-400). The difference with the previous HOYA Variable Density filter is the newly designed rotatable frame with convenient knob, allowing for better operation.Variable density filters are widely used because they can replace a set of solid ND filters by providing a range density that can be adjusted according to the desired exposure settings. In still shooting, variable density filters lower the shutter speed according to the photographer’s intentions when the shutter speed cannot be lowed due to camera limits. Variable density filters can also increase the amount of boke when shooting in the over-lit conditions, thus, preventing the image from overexposure.In video shooting, it is fundamental to keep the shutter speed fitting the frame rate setting. That is, to keep it equal to double the frame rate for optimal results. This is because, unlike still photography, an excessively fast shutter speed may create a jarring effect and produce afterimages that will not look good in the final video.By using variable density filters, the shutter speed can be adjusted to the proper value to get that natural and smooth looking motion requested in video footages.Be aware that when the filter is attached to the lens, the lens cap size becomes one size bigger. So if your lens has a filter thread size of 77mm, you will require an 82mm lens cap. The widened front filter frame has been designed on purpose to avoid vignetting.

The HOYA's Sq100 square filter system aims to give photographers the means and freedom to fully express their creativity and to realize their artistic goals to the fullest. The Sq100 square filter system comes with many advantages: Adapter rings for various sizes allow the photographer to use the system with a wide range of lenses with all kinds of thread sizes. This makes the square filter system a great long-term investment, as it is not necessary to buy the same filter multiple times for different sizes. As square filters are usually larger than the front glass element of the lens, the chance for vignetting is reduced to a minimum, even when stacking filters. Stacking filters is more effective with a square filter system as it can carry up to three square filters in addition to the polarizer. Switching filters is faster and easier than with stacked round filters. Filter holders can be rotated, giving the photographer the option to reposition the line of graduated ND filters. The line can also be adjusted vertically with a filter holder. The HOYA Sq100 square filter system features a sophisticated filter holder kit and a line of high-quality filters, making it a recommendation especially for advanced and professional photographers in the field of landscape and cityscape photography. HOYA SQ100 holder kitThe Sq100 holder kit includes a holder, a polarizer and two geared adapters that fix the polarizer inside the holder and attach it to the lens. The holder's precise slot system can carry two square filters in addition to the polarizer with an optional slot for a third square filter (included in the kit). The body is made of aluminum for optimal durability while being still light-weight. A black gasket on the edge of the inside holder ring as well as a gapless design of the slots minimize light leak. The holder with the attached filters can be rotated, giving the photographer more creative opportunities, such as adjusting the border angle of a graduated ND filter.The circular polarizer can be rotated inside the frame for perfect reflection and saturation control. With its large diameter of 86mm, the polarizer filter won't cause any vignetting with most lenses. HOYA's special water repellent multi-coating is applied to the polarizer's optical glass, making cleaning easy and stress-free.The polarizer adopts a high transparency polarizing film for fast shutter speed. This translates to no less than nearly 1/2 stop more light entering the lens while yielding the same polarization effect. An absolute must for shooting in low light conditionsHow to attachFor using the polarizer, screw it into the geared adapter and attach the geared adapter to the lens. When attaching the Sq100 holder to a lens with an 86mm filter size, use the 86mm-86mm geared adapter. When using the system with an 82mm filter size lens, use the 86mm-82mm geared adapter. For other lens sizes, use the adapter rings which are available in all common sizes.

Neutral density (ND) filters are the most demanded and essential type of photographic filters because of several reasons. For photographers ND filters mean precise control of the amount of light passing through the lens for greater creative control over exposure. For video content creators ND filters help immensely to set shutter speeds to match the frame-rate while maintaining the depth-of-field of the footage.HD MK II IRND8 for creating a beautiful blurred backgroundThe HD Mk II IRND8 is the perfect density for creating a beautiful blurred background in portrait or typical daylight conditions that is easily obtained with F1.2 or F1.4 fast prime lenses at maximum aperture but that requires a high shutter speed. As some cameras come with a maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 sec. that would cause over-exposure with such fast lenses, the photographer can still achieve an appropriate exposure by controlling the shutter speed though using the HD Mk II IRND8 filter.IRND technology for even light reduction throughout the visible light spectrumHOYA applies its signature ACCU-ND technology to the HD Mk II IRND series, guaranteeing an even light reduction throughout the visible light spectrum and up into the higher IR spectrum. This means that there is no leak from the infrared band of the light spectrum, guaranteeing that the image does not undergo any negative affect from color shifts.ACCU-ND is a benchmark for IR ND technology and makes the HOYA HD Mk II IRND series a market leader for high quality ND filters.Digital water- and oil repellent anti-reflection multi-coatingThe HD MK II IRND series applies an anti-reflection multi-coating that reduces the chance of any reflections caused by the filter. The coating also comes with water- and oil repellent features which makes cleaning the filter easy and stress free.HD low-profile frameThe HD Mk II IRND series uses an ultra-thin lightweight, precisely crafted aluminum frame, reducing the chance of vignetting immensely when using the filter with wide-angle lenses. It is also very useful when stacking filters, which can be done thanks to the integrated front filter thread.

Without an ND filter and with standard camera settings the movement would appear "still" on the final image. A flowing effect can be achieved through reducing the aperture to f/16 or f/22, but this may cause diffraction that makes the resolution and overall depiction poor. Also, when shooting with fast prime lenses and cameras that have ISO200 as their lowest sensitivity, it might not be possible to reduce the exposure enough to achieve a shutter speed that causes the "water flowing" effect. However, by using the HD Mk II IRND64 filter, it is possible to shoot at a proper f/ value to avoid "diffraction", and it is possible to lower the exposure to a necessary shutter speed value that can express the movement as "flowing".IRND technology for even light reduction throughout the visible light spectrumHOYA applies its signature ACCU-ND technology to the HD Mk II IRND series, guaranteeing an even light reduction throughout the visible light spectrum and up into the higher IR spectrum.

With a density of 1000 you can easily make a person "disappear" from a cityscape shot, shoot in very long exposure under daytime conditions, or take time lapse videos of moving objects or people to create a movie of fascinating fast streams of movement. Combining ND1000 with the ND64 gives a density of ND64000 that is suitable for directly shooting the sun, e.g., during a solar eclipse, without overexposure and solid colors, while keeping details such as black spots.IRND technology for even light reduction throughout the visible light spectrumHOYA applies its signature ACCU-ND technology to the HD Mk II IRND series, guaranteeing an even light reduction throughout the visible light spectrum and up into the higher IR spectrum.
