Hoya HD Mk II IRND1000 Neutral Density Filter 49mm

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 control of exposure. For photographers, ND filters allow for extended exposure times and creative effects, while video content creators use them to maintain appropriate shutter speeds matching frame rates without compromising depth of field.

Create Otherworldly Images with HD Mk II IRND1000

The HD Mk II IRND1000 filter offers a high density of 1000 (10 stops), ideal for capturing surreal or "otherworldly" images. It enables effects such as making subjects disappear in cityscapes, shooting very long exposures in daylight, and creating time-lapse videos with smooth motion of moving objects or people. When combined with an ND64 filter, it achieves an extreme density of ND64000, suitable for safely photographing the sun during events like solar eclipses without overexposure, preserving details such as sunspots.

Advanced IRND Technology for Uniform Light Reduction

HOYA's signature ACCU-ND technology is applied to the HD Mk II IRND series, ensuring even light reduction across the entire visible spectrum and extending into the infrared range. This prevents infrared light leakage and eliminates color shifts, maintaining accurate color reproduction and image quality. ACCU-ND technology sets a benchmark in IR ND filter performance, making the HD Mk II IRND series a market leader in high-quality neutral density filters.

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

The filter features a multi-layer anti-reflection coating that minimizes reflections and flare caused by the filter surface. Additionally, the coating is water- and oil-repellent, facilitating easy and stress-free cleaning, ensuring the filter remains clear and effective in various shooting conditions.

HD Low-Profile Frame Design

The filter is housed in an ultra-thin, lightweight, and precisely crafted matte black aluminum frame. This low-profile design significantly reduces the risk of vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses. The frame also includes an integrated front filter thread, allowing for easy stacking of additional filters if desired.
