Hoya HD Mk II IRND8 77mm Neutral Density Filter

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 set to match 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 conditions. 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 allowing shutter speed control through light reduction.

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 (IR) range. This prevents infrared light leakage and eliminates color shifts, maintaining accurate color reproduction. ACCU-ND sets the benchmark for IR ND filter technology, making the HD Mk II IRND series a market leader in high-quality ND filters.

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

The filter features an anti-reflection multi-coating that minimizes reflections caused by the filter surface. Additionally, the coating repels water and oil, making the filter easy to clean and maintain.

HD Low-Profile Frame Design

The filter is housed in an ultra-thin, lightweight, and precisely crafted 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.
