Hoya Filter HD MkII IRND64 (1.8) 52mm

The Hoya 52mm HD MKII IRND 64 Neutral Density 1.8 6-Stop Filter offers precise light control for both visible and infrared spectra, making it essential for professional photographers and filmmakers. This filter reduces light transmission by 6 stops (ND 64/1.8 density) and allows for creative control over exposure settings in bright lighting conditions. Hoya's ACCU-ND technology ensures uniform light reduction across all wavelengths and effectively eliminates color shift issues commonly encountered with conventional neutral density filters. The filter is constructed with a flat, precision-machined aluminum frame that prevents light leaks and stray light during long exposures. It features front filter threads for stacking with additional filters and includes anti-reflective multi-coatings to minimize stray light reflections. A water-repellent and oil-repellent surface coating makes cleaning and maintenance easier. With its 52mm thread diameter, this filter is compatible with lenses of the corresponding size and can be combined with other Hoya HD MKII IRND filters for enhanced light reduction capabilities. The durable aluminum construction ensures long-term reliability while maintaining optical clarity. This filter allows photographers to achieve longer exposure times for motion blur effects and enables filmmakers to maintain proper shutter angles while controlling depth of field. The infrared neutral density combination makes it particularly suitable for digital photography, where infrared contamination can affect image quality. The precise construction and optical quality make this filter a practical addition to professional photography equipment, providing consistent performance across various shooting scenarios—from landscape photography to cinematic video production.
