Hoya 72mm HD MKII IRND Neutral Density Filters Kit #XHDII-72IRNDKIT

What sets the 72mm HD MKII IRND Neutral Density Filters Kit apart is its meticulous design for precision in light control across both visible and infrared light spectrums. HOYA's proprietary ACCU-ND technology ensures an even reduction of light, eliminating the common problem of color shift that can occur when using neutral density filters under varying shooting conditions. This feature is particularly beneficial for content creators who demand consistency and accuracy in their work.

Neutral density filters are indispensable tools for both filmmakers and photographers. They provide the ability to finely tune the amount of light that enters the lens. Filmmakers can achieve the perfect balance between shutter speed and frame rate, essential for capturing smooth motion while also having the freedom to manipulate depth of field for artistic effect. Photographers can leverage these filters to enable longer exposures or achieve a shallower depth of field even under the harshest sunlight, expanding their creative possibilities.

The HD MKII IRND series is engineered with a low-profile, high-density frame crafted from precision-milled aluminum. This sleek frame is not only lightweight but also designed to prevent any light leakage or bleeding that could compromise long exposure shots. Additionally, the frame features front filter threads, allowing for the attachment of other filters or a lens cap, enhancing versatility and protection.

HOYA has incorporated advanced AR multi-coatings on these filters to minimize reflections from scattered light, which is particularly crucial during extended exposures. To complement this, a waterproof and oil-repellent coating ensures that the filters remain clean and maintain their optical clarity, simplifying maintenance and prolonging the life of the filter.

For photographers and filmmakers looking to customize their light reduction further, these filters can be "stacked" or combined to achieve the desired effect. For instance, pairing the HD MKII IRND 64 with the HD MKII IRND 1000 filter can result in an impressive 16 stops of light reduction. This level of control makes it possible to capture even the sun's surface without the risk of overexposure, showcasing the versatility and performance of the 72mm HD MKII IRND Neutral Density Filters Kit.
