Hoya - 58mm Variable Density II Filter

Find the perfect balance in your photography and videography with the HOYA 67mm Variable Density II Filter. This advanced density adjustable filter offers an impressive ND range from 1.5 to 9 f-stops (ND3-400), providing you with the flexibility to adjust your exposure settings according to your creative vision. The HOYA Variable Density II Filter stands out from its predecessor with a newly designed rotatable frame and a convenient knob for enhanced operation. This feature is a significant advantage for photographers and videographers who need to adjust their exposure quickly and efficiently. Variable density filters, like the HOYA Variable Density II, are essential tools for both still and video shooting. They offer the ability to lower the shutter speed according to the photographer's intentions when the camera's limitations prevent a lower shutter speed. This feature is particularly useful when shooting in over-lit conditions, as it can increase the amount of bokeh and prevent overexposure. For video shooting, maintaining the right shutter speed to fit the frame rate setting is crucial. The HOYA Variable Density II Filter allows you to adjust the shutter speed to double the frame rate for optimal results, avoiding a jarring effect and producing smoother, more natural-looking motion in your video sequences. The HOYA Variable Density II Filter features an exclusive rotatable frame construction, consisting of a fixed frame and a rotatable frame. The rotatable frame is wider than the fixed frame, minimizing the risk of vignetting when used on wide-angle lenses. However, please be aware of the potential for vignetting with APS-C size wide-angle lenses at a focal length less than 13mm and Full Frame wide-angle lenses at a focal length less than 24mm. Due to its unique filter frame structure, the HOYA Variable Density II Filter can accommodate a lens cap one size larger than the filter itself. For example, a 77mm HOYA Variable Density II can take an 82mm lens cap. The HOYA Variable Density II Filter allows for longer exposures without changing the aperture, making it ideal for creating motion blur effects such as waterfalls, moving cars, or blurred panning movement. It also enables the use of wider apertures in over-lit conditions to decrease depth-of-field, focusing more attention on the subject. With the HOYA Variable Density II Filter, you can prevent overexposure even with a shutter speed of 1/8000 seconds and a large aperture of f/1.4 or f/1.2. This feature is particularly useful for video bloggers and professional video content creators who need to set the appropriate exposures in bright lighting conditions to achieve a cinematic look. In conclusion, the HOYA 67mm Variable Density II Filter is a versatile and essential tool for photographers and videographers seeking to enhance their creative control and produce high-quality images and videos.

Bring your photography and videography to the next level with the HOYA 52mm Variable Density II Filter. This high-quality, durable filter offers an adjustable density range from 1.5 to 9 f-stops (ND3-400), providing you with the versatility to control the amount of light entering your camera. The HOYA Variable Density II Filter stands out from its predecessor with a newly designed rotatable frame equipped with a convenient knob for improved operation. This feature allows photographers and videographers to adjust the filter density according to their desired exposure settings, making it an efficient tool for a variety of shooting situations.Variable density filters are essential for both still and video shooting. In still photography, they allow for the lowering of shutter speed according to the photographer's intentions when camera limits prevent a decrease in speed. They also enhance bokeh when shooting in over-lit conditions, preventing image overexposure. In video shooting, maintaining the correct shutter speed to fit the frame rate setting is crucial. The HOYA Variable Density II Filter helps achieve this balance, preventing a jarring effect and afterimages that can detract from the final video. By using this filter, you can adjust the shutter speed to achieve natural and smooth motion in your video footage.The HOYA Variable Density II Filter features an exclusive rotatable frame construction that minimizes the risk of vignetting when used on wide-angle lenses. Please note, however, that vignetting may occur with APS-C size wide-angle lenses at a focal length less than 13mm and Full Frame wide-angle lenses at a focal length less than 24mm.This filter also allows for the use of a larger lens cap due to its specific frame structure. For instance, a 77mm HOYA Variable Density II can accommodate an 82mm lens cap.The HOYA Variable Density II Filter enables longer exposures without changing the aperture, providing the freedom to adjust the shutter speed for desired effects such as motion blurring. It also allows for wider apertures in over-lit conditions, decreasing depth-of-field and focusing more attention on the subject. For video bloggers and professional video content creators, the HOYA Variable Density II Filter is a must-have. It allows for the setting of appropriate exposures in bright lighting conditions, helping to achieve a cinematic look. With this filter, overexposure issues can be avoided by adjusting the light intake, making it an indispensable tool for all your photography and videography needs.

With 16 2/3 stops of light reduction the filter yields exposure times of several minutes in bright sunlight. Hoya uses a precise metal vapor deposition process to create the ultra-dark ND effect while maintaining a very neutral color balance for faithful color reproduction at extremely long exposure times. The PRO ND100000 is available in four common filter sizes. If the size is not available to match a particular lens, purchase the next larger size and use an appropriate step-up ring. Step-up rings are available online and at your local camera store. Caution, Please Read:The Hoya PRO ND100000 is not suitable eye protection for viewing of sun or solar eclipses. Do not look directly or indirectly into the sun without appropriate eye protection. The ND100000 should be installed in front of the camera lens or telescope before trying to align it with the sun. Do not use an optical viewfinder when aligning your camera or telescope with the sun. If the camera has an LCD screen with a live-view feature, use that to align it with the sun and for viewing. It is possible to damage your camera's sensor if the sensor is exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Please take extreme caution when photographing the sun.
