Hoya ProND EX 8 62mm Neutral Density Filter

The Hoya ProND EX 8 62mm is a high-quality neutral density filter designed for professional photographers. It reduces light entering the lens by 3 stops (optical density 0.9), enabling slower shutter speeds and wider apertures even in bright conditions. This filter is ideal for creating motion blur in waterfalls, clouds, or traffic, as well as achieving shallow depth of field in daylight.

Advantages

With its ACCU-ND coating technology, the ProND EX 8 ensures accurate color balance and minimal color shift. The multi-coated, water-repellent, and stain-resistant surface protects the glass and makes cleaning easy. The slim aluminum frame reduces the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses and includes a front filter thread for stacking additional filters.
