Hoya HD MkII IRND1000 (3.0) 49mm

The Hoya 49mm HD MKII IRND 1000 Neutral Density 3.0 10-Stop Filter offers precise light control for photo and video applications. This optical filter reduces light transmission by 10 stops (ND 3.0), allowing for extended exposure times and creative aperture control even in bright lighting conditions. The filter features Hoya's ACCU-ND technology, which ensures consistent light reduction across the visible and infrared spectrum and effectively eliminates color shift issues that could compromise image quality. Constructed with a flat aluminum frame measuring 49 mm in diameter, this filter maintains a compact profile and has front filter threads for accessory attachment. The precision-machined frame design prevents light leaks during long exposures and ensures optical integrity. Multi-layer anti-reflective coatings minimize internal reflections and stray light, while a protective surface coating provides water and oil resistance for easier maintenance. This neutral density filter supports filter stacking capabilities, allowing combinations with other ND filters for increased light reduction of up to 16 stops when used with compatible filters. The HD MKII series represents the successor to earlier Hoya filter designs, integrating improved optical performance and mechanical durability for professional imaging applications.
