Any photography enthusiast interested or specialised in taking portraits and indoor shots will certainly reap the benefits of this high-performance prime lens. It delivers uncompromised image quality – with a super-bright open aperture of F1.8 – that stands out with crisp contrast, edge-to-edge precision, high resolution and low aberration. On top of these impressive credentials, this lens is also remarkably compact and easy to handle.
This macro lens excels in image quality, versatility and resilience. Easily get shots at a close range in true (1:1) life size with razor-sharp details and circular bokeh. When shooting with the OM-D E-M1, the superb image quality is boosted even more thanks to focus stacking: a series of eight images with different focus points is shot and merged to produce an image with increased depth of field. This lens is also dust and splashproof, with a protective coating for the lens elements.
Lens cap prevents dust and dirt buildup when the lens is not in use, and also safeguards it against scratches, fingerprints, bumps and other light impact. Easy to attach and remove from lens Protects front lens surface For lens with 77 mm filter thread
Improved protection performance and durabilityThe coating of the filter is not permanent. It gets a damage repeatedly when we clean it with wipes and gets weak as time passes by. The filter can protect the lens from physical damage, but the coating receives the strike first as scratch. When a coating of a filter is solid and scratch resistant, it will be a great advantage.This is designed with ultra-hard nano coating to protect your camera lens. The HD nano Mk II UV filter is a filter with a UV cut curve that does not affect the visible light range. In addition this filter features a new powered coating that protects the lens from scouring, while allowing easy cleaning of water spots and fingerprints. The HD nano Mk II glass is 4x stronger chemically enhanced optical glass.Designed to protect a camera's expensive lens system from scratches and impact, HD nano Mk II filter is essential gear for photography under extremely severe conditions.Powered coatingNewly developed coating is stuck to the glass surface more firmly and closely by the nano level than formerly. Due to this, the particles are layered on the glass surface with extremely high density that creates a hard and smooth coating. Besides ultra-hard and smooth features, HOYA HD nano Mk II coating has superior water and oil repellent abilities that will make filter maintenance easy and stress free.Hardened glassHardened optical glass that has 4 times the breaking strength. New 32 layer (both sides) ultra-smooth, ultra-hard nano coating Stain resistant, water & oil repellent coating makes everyday maintenance easier Ultra-hard surface coating is 800% more scratch resistant than general coating High Density Sharp Cut UV glass Chemically Enhanced Optical Glass is 4x Stronger than usual optical glass Very Thin Frame, Front thread to attach lens caps and other filters Press mount technology holds glass securely The HD nano Mk II filter that not only the hardened glass but also the ultra-hard nano coating protects your lens solidly under the severe conditions.
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.

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.
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.

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.
