Hoya HD MkII IRND FILTER KIT 55mm

The Hoya 55 mm HD MKII IRND Neutral Density Filter Set offers photographers and filmmakers precise light control with three density options: 0.9, 1.8, and 3.0. These filters feature ACCU-ND technology, which evenly reduces light in both the visible and infrared spectrum, eliminating color shift issues common with conventional neutral density filters. The precision-machined aluminum frame has a flat design with a thickness of about 3 mm and includes front filter threads for attaching additional accessories. An anti-reflective multi-coating minimizes stray light reflections during long exposures, while a water-repellent and oil-repellent surface coating makes cleaning easier. The filters allow for creative exposure control in bright lighting conditions, enabling photographers to achieve longer exposure times or shallower depth of field, and filmmakers to maintain the correct shutter speed relative to the frame rate. Multiple filters can be combined for greater light reduction, such as combining the 64 and 1000 density filters for 16 stops of light reduction. The set provides reliable performance for various shooting scenarios, including landscape, architecture, and time-lapse photography, where consistent color accuracy and exposure control are crucial.
