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.

About the seriesThe MIST DIFFUSER BLACK is a soft-type filter that diffuses light and suppresses the contrast between highlights and shadows to create exquisite nuances reminiscent of a scene in a movie. The beauty of the MIST DIFFUSER BLACK is that you can obtain cinematic textures on the spot, without retouching.Type NO0.5 & NO1The MIST DIFFUSER BLACK No0.5 has a rather subtle diffusing effect, making the filter perfect in settings with strong backlighting. The No1 has a comparatively stronger light diffusing effect, making the filter great in low light scenes.In video & cinemaThe cinematic effect is not only great in photography, but also excels in videos and movies. It pushes a little bit back that recent trend of "over sharpness" and gives a vintage look that is reliably repeatable across various cameras and lenses.The MIST DIFFUSER BLACK also takes away the time-consuming work to add a diffusion effect in post-production and provides instant feedback on the set.For an impressive light in nightscapeThrough diffusing light around light sources and suppressing shadow contrasts, the image gets a stylish cinematic look. In contrast to common soft-filters, the MIST DIFFUSER BLACK does not whiten the image.Smoothens skinThrough its soft-effect, the MIST DIFFUSER BLACK smoothens skin texture and reduces overall contrast. This gives models a stylish look, which makes the filter perfect for portrait shots.Difference between NO0.5 and NO1The HOYA MIST DIFFUSER BLACK is available in No0.5 and No1. Compared to other soft filters, the MIST DIFFUSER BLACK No1 does not whiten the image, and compared to the No0.5, has a greater light diffusing effect in strong backlighting or night scenes. The No0.5 creates a more subtle effect, making the filter perfect even with strong backlighting or in situations with strong light sources close to the camera.Tips for shooting MIST DIFFUSER BLACK No0.5 and No1 are recommended for different scenes. No0.5 is suitable for night scenes and backlit scenes when the sun starts to set, while No1 is more suitable for forward lit or low light situations. The soft effect is stronger when the focal length of the lens is on the telephoto side and weaker at the wide-angle side. The effect may vary depending on the type of light source and other shooting conditions like for example shutter speed. The effect seen in the viewfinder and the result of shooting (depending on print, monitor size, etc.) may differ. The final result will also change depending on the exposure compensation, so it is recommended to use exposure compensation if necessary.

Digital multi-coated glass allows a max. surface light reflection ratio of 0.5%. Black-rimmed glass minimizes random reflections inside the frame. Knurling makes it easy to attach and remove the filter. UV absorption filter case. Thin frame design to minimize vignetting even with wide angle lenses. 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.

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.
