The Hoya ProND EX 1000 49mm is a professional-grade neutral density filter designed for long exposure photography.

The filter features Hoya's ACCU-ND technology for neutral color balance, ensuring no color shift. Its slim aluminum frame minimizes vignetting on wide-angle lenses, and it includes front filter threads for stacking additional filters.
