Hoya SOLAS 82mm Variable Neutral Density Filter, 1.3-stops to 8.7-stops

Under the umbrella of superior optical solutions, the SOLAS 82mm Variable Neutral Density Filter stands out as a high-quality, durable, and versatile tool for both filmmakers and photographers. This professional-grade filter offers a broad range of variable density, from 1.3-stops to 8.7-stops, providing unparalleled creative control over exposure and depth of field.

Unlike conventional Variable ND filters, the Hoya SOLAS Variable NDX filter eliminates the common issues of unpredictable "Color Shift", loss of sharpness, and glare. These improvements are a result of the use of premium materials, cutting-edge technology, and the finest Japanese manufacturing expertise. The filter features an exclusive "Depolarization" layer integrated into the optical formula, ensuring consistent color from 1.3-stops to 8.7-stops.

For filmmakers, this means the ability to adjust density as lighting conditions change without the fear of a color grading nightmare in post-production. For photographers, it means the ability to set the white balance at 1.3-stops and then adjust the density up to 8.7 stops without needing to switch filters.

The SOLAS 82mm Variable Neutral Density Filter is designed with a lightweight aluminum frame that includes front filter threads, allowing for the attachment of additional filters for increased density or special effects. This filter is compatible with most manufacturers' lens hoods and can be used with your original lens cap.

Designed for precision and ease of use, the filter's "throw" or rotation is greater than smaller filters, making it much easier to achieve an exact density. For lenses with smaller filter threads, the filter can be seamlessly adapted using an inexpensive Step-up ring (sold separately).

In summary, the SOLAS 82mm Variable Neutral Density Filter is an efficient and professional tool for controlling light exposure, enabling you to capture stunning images in a variety of lighting conditions.
