Hoya ND8 HMC IN SQ,CASE 82 MM

Hoya ND (Neutral Density Filter) X8 for larger aperture openings or longer exposure times. Hoya ND filters (Neutral Density) appear gray and reduce the amount of light reaching the sensor/film without affecting color balance. Main applications: Allow long shutter speeds even with higher sensitivity films to capture motion in the image through blurring, such as in waterfalls and streams, fountains, clouds, or moving cars. Enable larger apertures for shallower depth of field, which helps to clearly distinguish a subject, such as a portrait, from its background. Act as if the film sensitivity has been reduced, allowing even high-sensitivity films (i.e., over ISO 400) to be used in bright daylight. Enable correct exposures in film and video cameras with non-adjustable shutter speeds in bright environments like snow and sandy beaches or under extremely bright lighting, preventing overexposure. HMC (Hoya Multi Coated) Hoya multi-layer coating. This popular multi-coated filter series is known for its extremely low reflections on the glass surface, further suppressing stray light and ghost images. An average transmission value of over 97% is achieved, resulting in high brilliance and balanced color neutrality. The Hoya "HMC" filter is recommended to fully utilize the high performance of modern multi-coated lenses.
