Hoya 52mm PROND EX 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter #XPD-52NDEX8

If you're a filmmaker or photographer seeking precise control over light exposure, the high-quality 52mm PROND EX 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter is an essential tool. This versatile filter allows you to manipulate shutter speeds to match your frame-rate, maintain your desired depth-of-field, and use longer exposures or achieve a shallow depth-of-field even in bright sunlight.

Unlike many neutral density filters on the market, the PROND EX 8 eliminates the issue of unpredictable color shift, a common problem caused by low-quality materials, poor manufacturing, and neglect of the infrared band of the light spectrum. Thanks to the innovative ACCU-ND technology, this filter ensures no negative effects from color shift, providing consistent, reliable results across different shooting conditions.

The PROND EX 8 Neutral Density Filter is crafted from durable, lightweight, precision-milled aluminum, and includes front filter threads for attaching additional filters or a protective lens cap. This feature makes it an easy-to-use and effective tool for video production, particularly when shooting with a Sony camera in Slog mode where the ISO cannot be set below 800.

For those seeking to achieve cinematic quality, the PROND EX 8 can be combined with PROND EX 64 or PROND EX 1000 filters. This "stacking" of filters allows photographers to create surreal, dreamlike effects or capture the surface of the sun without overexposure, depending on the combination used.

In conclusion, the 52mm PROND EX 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter is a versatile, high-quality tool that offers photographers and filmmakers a greater level of creative control, making it an invaluable addition to any professional's toolkit.
