Hoya Variable Density II Filter 62mm

Variable Density Control

The Hoya Variable Density II Filter offers precise control over exposure by adjusting the amount of light entering the camera from 1.5 to 9 stops. Its built-in double-ring design allows smooth rotation of the outer ring to vary the neutral density effect continuously within this range. The slim double-ring frame minimizes the risk of vignetting, especially when used with wide-angle lenses.

Special Effects and Creative Control

• Control depth of field by enabling wider apertures
• Create or manage motion blur effectively

By selecting appropriate shutter speeds, photographers can achieve ideal blur effects for creative imagery.

Cost Efficiency and Convenience

This variable density filter replaces multiple fixed ND filters, saving both cost and time. Users only need one filter to achieve a range of neutral density effects without frequent filter changes.

Applications

• Isolate subjects such as waterfalls or moving vehicles from backgrounds
• Enhance focus on the main subject
• Control exposure in bright lighting conditions like beaches or snowy environments

Important Note

When attached, the filter increases the lens front diameter by one size. For example, a lens with a 62mm thread will require a larger lens cap to fit the filter. This design prevents vignetting by widening the front filter frame.
