Hoya - 52mm Variable Density II Filter

The NiSi True Color CPL is designed to reduce glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces, increase saturation and vibrancy in the sky and foliage while ensuring true color reproduction is at its best by eliminating the warming effect that many polarisers create. Our True Color CPL removes the warm tone seen with other brands of CPL filters and provides a closer true color representation of the scene. The True Color CPL features a unique two-tone frame with a silver back ring, black front ring and both are made from high-quality aluminum. NiSi's Sure Color CPL utilizes Cine seal technology which blackens the edge of the CPL for added durability. This technology reduces the influence of temperature fluctuations and keeps out condensation.A Circular Polarizer Filter helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. The light from the sun naturally becomes partially polarized due to reflecting off electrons in air molecules, causing the light to scatter into what appears as haze. A polarizing filter arranges, and filters, this directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of this light. This results in a noticeable reduction of glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies, foliage, and allows the camera to capture what is under the surface of shallow water.Our proprietary NiSi Pro Nano Coating helps to reduce unwanted reflections and provides a waterproof and scratch-resistant layer to assist in the cleaning of unwanted fingerprints, dust and water stains. The slimline frame of the NiSi Natural CPL is durable and tough and allows a lens cap to be attached for convenience.

When capturing the perfect shot, the 58mm Variable Density II Filter by HOYA is an essential tool for both professional photographers and videography enthusiasts. This high-quality, durable filter offers an adjustable density range from 1.5 to 9 f-stops (ND3-400), providing you with unparalleled control over the amount of light entering your camera. The standout feature of this versatile filter is its newly designed rotatable frame, complete with a convenient knob for ease of operation. This feature sets it apart from its predecessor, the original HOYA Variable Density filter, and allows for a more efficient and precise adjustment of light intake. Variable density filters are a crucial component in any photographer's toolkit, as they can effectively replace a set of solid ND filters. This is due to their ability to provide a range of densities that can be adjusted to match your desired exposure settings. In still photography, these filters can lower the shutter speed according to the photographer's intentions when the camera's limits prevent a lower shutter speed. In over-lit conditions, the Variable Density II Filter can increase the amount of bokeh, preventing image overexposure and enhancing the overall image quality. This is particularly beneficial for video shooting, where maintaining a shutter speed that fits the frame rate setting is fundamental. The HOYA Variable Density II Filter also incorporates a unique rotatable frame construction, which includes a fixed frame and a rotatable frame. The rotatable frame is wider than the fixed frame size, minimizing the risk of vignetting when used on wide-angle lenses. For those seeking longer exposures, this filter provides the freedom to change the shutter speed according to the desired effect, without altering the aperture. This is particularly effective for motion blurring effects, such as waterfalls, cars, or blurred panning movement, helping your subject stand out from the background. In addition, the Variable Density II Filter allows for wider apertures in over-lit conditions, enabling you to decrease depth-of-field and focus more attention on your subject. Overexposure issues can be avoided by adjusting the light intake with this filter, even with a shutter speed of 1/8000 seconds and a large aperture of f/1.4 or f/1.2. For video bloggers and professional video content creators, the Variable Density II Filter is an indispensable tool. It allows cine/video cameras to set the appropriate exposures in bright lighting conditions, helping you achieve that coveted cinematic look. In conclusion, the 58mm Variable Density II Filter by HOYA is a professional, efficient, and versatile tool that offers enhanced control over your photography and videography experiences.

It's time to elevate your photography with the high-quality 52mm 0.6-1.5 2-5 Stop Variable ND Filter. This innovative filter is the perfect blend of affordability, functionality, and superior quality, designed to give you precise control over your exposure. Crafted with premium Schott B270 Pro Cinema Glass, this filter ensures crisp, edge-to-edge clarity without any color fringing or cross polarization. The filter rings are precision-engineered from aerospace-grade metal, offering the durability and reliability you need when shooting in various conditions. Our Variable ND Filters stand out with their unique flared geometry, a feature not found in other filters on the market. This innovative design allows you to easily see your ND number from behind the viewfinder, providing quick, accurate control over your shots in challenging lighting conditions without having to move from behind the camera. Designed for on-the-go shooting, these filters come with hard stops at both ends of the range to prevent unwanted cross polarization, ensuring the cleanest image possible. A Variable ND Filter is essentially sunglasses for your camera lens, allowing you to adjust the strength of the filter by rotating the ring. This versatile feature means you only need one filter for different lighting conditions, making it a practical choice for any shooting scenario. Our Variable ND Filters are not only compatible with standard camera lens thread sizes, but they also work with the standard center pinch lens caps you already have for your camera lens. These filters are constructed with top-tier glass and advanced optical coatings to deliver crisp cinematic footage. Specifically designed for use with premium camera lenses, their laser-etched, machined aluminum housings allow you to easily see and control your ND range. Built-in stops prevent any unwanted cross polarization, ensuring the best possible image quality and precise adjustments. Experience the difference in your photos and footage, even in tricky lighting conditions, with the 52mm 0.6-1.5 2-5 Stop Variable ND Filter. It's the perfect tool to easily work with your settings behind the camera and capture stunning images.
