    Does what's intended

    This is a reasonably priced filter that I use on my Canon EF-M lenses. There are other more expensive filters you coukd buy but this one has been suitable for my needs. Ideally you'd want a slide in filter with an adapter, but this screw on filter works good when I'm on backpacking trips and want to watch the weight in my pack.

    Great filter at a good price

    I took this filter out in the middle of a sunny day about 2pm and was able to take some exposures over a few seconds long to get the artistic photo style I was looking for. The images were crystal clear with this filter and it cut out a lot of flare from the suns reflections off of the water. It is good glass on this filter, but when cleaning make sure not to use chemicals because it can damage the special coating.

Hoya - 52mm PROND EX 64 Neutral Density 1.8 6-Stop Filter

What sets the 52mm PROND EX 64 Neutral Density 1.8 6-Stop Filter apart is its high-quality, durable, and effective design. This versatile and reliable filter is a must-have tool for both filmmakers and photographers seeking precise control over light exposure. It allows for the adjustment of shutter speeds to match your frame-rate, maintaining the desired depth-of-field for filmmakers. For photographers, it enables the use of longer exposures or the achievement of a shallow depth-of-field, even in bright sunlight.Unlike many neutral density filters that suffer from unpredictable "color shift" due to low-quality materials, poor manufacturing, or neglect of the infrared band of the light spectrum, this filter utilizes ACCU-ND technology. This innovative technology ensures that the image undergoes no negative effects from color shift, providing equal reduction of light in both visible and IR spectrums. This means that photographers and filmmakers won't experience issues with color shift when using this Hoya ND filter in various shooting conditions.The 52mm PROND EX 64 Neutral Density 1.8 6-Stop Filter is mounted into a lightweight, precision-milled aluminum frame. It includes front filter threads, allowing for the attachment of additional filters or a protective lens cap. This filter is also a popular tool for shooting video, particularly when using a Sony camera in Slog mode, where the ISO cannot be set below 800.The choice of ND filters depends on the photographer's intentions and vision. If a single ND filter does not meet the demands of the situation, a combination of PROND EX filters can be used. For instance, combining PROND EX 8 + PROND EX 64 will yield an effect equivalent to an ND500 filter, perfect for creating surreal imagery. Alternatively, the combination of PROND EX 8 + PROND EX 1000 will result in an effect equal to ND8000, allowing for the capture of the sun's surface without overexposure. In essence, the 52mm PROND EX 64 Neutral Density 1.8 6-Stop Filter offers unparalleled control, versatility, and quality, making it an essential addition to any photographer's or filmmaker's toolkit.

  • Does it fit canon eos m50?

    It depends. Lenses decides what filter you need, not camera bodies. Just looking at native Canon lenses for the M50, this filter will fit on the 18-55mm and the 55-200mm. If you have one of those two lenses, then yes its good for you. But it will not fit on any other lenses you have.
