Hoya 82mm HD MKII IRND 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter #XHDII-82IRND8

An exceptional tool for both photographers and filmmakers, the 82mm HD MKII IRND 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter offers precise control over the light entering your camera lens across both visible and IR light spectrums. This high-quality filter utilizes HOYA's exclusive ACCU-ND technology, ensuring an equal reduction of light in visible and IR spectrums. This unique feature eliminates the common issue of color shift, providing consistent results in any shooting conditions.

Neutral density filters are an essential asset for creative professionals, enabling precise control over the amount of light passing through the lens. For filmmakers, this translates into the ability to match shutter speeds with your frame-rate while maintaining creative depth-of-field control. For photographers, this means the possibility of longer exposures or achieving a shallower depth-of-field even in the brightest sunlight conditions.

The HD MKII IRND 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter is housed in a new low-profile, lightweight, precision-milled aluminum frame. This durable frame is designed to prevent light leaks and bleeding around the filter that can occur during long exposures. It also includes front filter threads, allowing you to attach additional filters or a protective lens cap.

This versatile filter features AR multi-coatings with waterproof and oil-repellent technology. The anti-reflection multi-coating reduces reflections caused by scattered light rays, a common concern during long exposures. The waterproof and oil repellent top-coat ensures easy cleaning and maintenance, making this filter an easy-to-use addition to your camera gear.

For those seeking to achieve a specific effect in their final image, the HD MKII IRND 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter can be combined or "stacked" with other filters. For instance, combining the HD MKII IRND 64 + HD MKII IRND 1000 will provide a whopping 16 stops of light reduction, allowing you to capture even the surface of the sun without overexposure. This makes the HD MKII IRND 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter a versatile tool for any photographer or filmmaker's toolkit.
