Hoya Filter HD MkII IRND1000 (3.0) 55mm

The Hoya 55 mm HD MKII IRND 1000 Neutral Density 3.0 10-Stop Filter offers precise light control for photography and videography applications. This professional filter provides exactly 10 stops of light reduction (ND 3.0 density) while maintaining color neutrality across the entire visible and infrared light spectrum. Hoya's ACCU-ND technology ensures consistent light attenuation throughout the spectrum and eliminates color shifts that often occur with conventional neutral density filters. The filter features a flat aluminum frame with a 55 mm diameter and precise machining to prevent light leaks during long exposures. Front filter threads allow for stacking additional filters or attaching protective lens caps. Multi-layer anti-reflective coatings minimize internal reflections and stray light, while a hydrophobic surface coating repels water and oils for easy cleaning. This filter enables photographers to achieve longer exposure times in bright conditions for creative motion blur effects, while videographers can maintain correct shutter speeds and depth of field control. Its infrared-neutral performance makes it suitable for both digital and analog photography without causing color casts. Constructed from optical glass and a durable aluminum housing, this filter preserves optical clarity under professional use conditions.
