Hoya HD Mk II IRND8 58mm 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 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 portrait and daylight photography. It is especially effective when using fast prime lenses with apertures of F1.2 or F1.4 at maximum aperture, where high shutter speeds are required. Since some cameras have a maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 second, which can cause overexposure with such lenses, 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 (IR) range. This prevents infrared light leakage and eliminates color shifts, preserving accurate color rendition in images.

ACCU-ND technology sets the benchmark for IR ND filters, making the HOYA 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 an 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 Design

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