Hoya HD Mk II IRND1000 Neutral Density Filter 72mm

Neutral Density (ND) Filters

Neutral density (ND) filters are essential photographic tools that provide precise control over the amount of light entering the lens, enabling greater creative exposure control. For video creators, ND filters allow shutter speeds to be matched to frame rates while maintaining desired depth-of-field.

Create Otherworldly Images with HD Mk II IRND1000

The HD Mk II IRND1000 filter offers a density of 1000 (10 stops), ideal for capturing "imaginary landscapes" or "another world" style images. It enables effects such as making a person disappear from a cityscape, shooting very long exposures in daylight, or creating time-lapse videos of moving subjects to produce captivating motion streams. When combined with an ND64 filter, it achieves a density of ND64000, suitable for direct solar photography (e.g., solar eclipses) without overexposure, preserving details like sunspots and solid colors.

IRND Technology for Even Light Reduction Across Visible and Infrared Spectrum

HOYA's signature ACCU-ND technology is applied to the HD Mk II IRND series, ensuring uniform light reduction throughout the visible spectrum and into the higher infrared range. This prevents infrared light leakage and eliminates color shifts, maintaining accurate color reproduction. ACCU-ND sets the benchmark for IR ND technology, positioning the HD Mk II IRND series as a market leader in high-quality ND filters.

Digital Water- and Oil-Repellent Anti-Reflection Multi-Coating

The filter features an advanced anti-reflection multi-coating that minimizes reflections caused by the filter surface. Additionally, the coating is water- and oil-repellent, facilitating easy and stress-free cleaning.

HD Low-Profile Frame

The filter is housed in an ultra-thin, lightweight, and precisely crafted matte black aluminum frame. This low-profile design significantly reduces vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses and supports stacking with other filters via an integrated front filter thread.
