Hoya HD Mk II IRND8 Neutral Density Filter 55mm

Neutral Density (ND) Filters

Neutral density (ND) filters provide precise control over the amount of light entering the lens, essential for photographers and videographers to manage exposure creatively. They enable maintaining desired shutter speeds and depth-of-field, especially in bright conditions.

HD Mk II IRND8 for Blurred Background Effects

The HD Mk II IRND8 filter offers a 3-stop light reduction, ideal for achieving a beautifully blurred background in portraits or daylight scenes. It allows the use of fast prime lenses at apertures like F1.2 or F1.4 without overexposure, even when camera shutter speeds max out at 1/4000 second.

Advanced IRND Technology

Featuring HOYA's ACCU-ND technology, this filter ensures even light reduction across the visible spectrum and into the infrared range, preventing infrared light leaks and color shifts. This technology sets a benchmark in IR ND filter quality.

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

The filter is coated with a multi-layer anti-reflection treatment that minimizes reflections and includes water- and oil-repellent properties, facilitating easy and stress-free cleaning.

HD Low-Profile Frame

Constructed with an ultra-thin, lightweight, and precisely crafted matte black aluminum frame, the filter minimizes vignetting on wide-angle lenses. It also features an integrated front filter thread for stacking additional filters.
