Hoya HD Mk II IRND8 Neutral Density Filter 62mm

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 in accordance with frame rates while maintaining desired depth of field.

HD Mk II IRND8 for Beautiful Background Blur

The HD Mk II IRND8 filter offers the ideal density for achieving a beautifully blurred background in portraits or daylight scenes. This effect is typically achieved with fast prime lenses at apertures like F1.2 or F1.4, which require very high shutter speeds. Since some cameras have a maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 second, this filter enables proper exposure by reducing light and allowing slower shutter speeds.

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, preserving accurate color rendition. 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, facilitating easy and stress-free cleaning.

HD Low-Profile Frame Design

The filter is housed in an ultra-thin, lightweight, and precisely crafted aluminum frame that significantly reduces vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses. The slim matte black frame also includes an integrated front filter thread, allowing for convenient stacking of additional filters.
