Hoya HD Mk II IRND8 Neutral Density Filter 82mm

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 video creators, ND filters allow shutter speeds to be matched to frame rates while maintaining desired depth of field.

HD Mk II IRND8 for Beautiful Blurred Backgrounds

The HD Mk II IRND8 filter offers the ideal density for achieving a beautifully blurred background in portraits or daylight scenes. It is especially effective with fast prime lenses at apertures like F1.2 or F1.4, where high shutter speeds are required. Since some cameras have a maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 second, this filter helps prevent overexposure by reducing light and allowing proper shutter speed control.

Advanced IRND Technology for Even Light Reduction

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

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

The filter features a multi-coating that minimizes reflections and glare. Additionally, the coating repels water and oil, making the filter easy to clean and maintain.

HD Low-Profile Frame

The filter is housed in an ultra-thin, lightweight, precision-crafted aluminum frame finished in matte black. This slim design greatly reduces the risk of vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses and facilitates stacking with other filters via the integrated front filter thread.
