Hoya 82mm PRO ND 8/64/1000 Filter Kit

For the past several years slow shutter photography is becoming an extremely popular genre because it provides ample opportunities to express the world around artistically and unusually. For this purpose, the ND filter appears to be a necessary tool.

But which ND filter is better to start with? This question might arise in the mind of many amateur photographers who decided to challenge themselves in slow shutter photography. Keeping this question in mind we created an essential ND kit to help photographers quickly start this challenge.

HOYA PROND Filter Kit is an essential filter kit designed for amateur or professional photographers and video content creators. The kit consists of 3 ND filters - PROND8, PROND64, and PROND1000, that allow photographers to capture the world in different expressions.

The choice of ND filters depends on the intentions of the photographer to control the shutter speed or aperture. The content of the HOYA PROND FILTER KIT is based on our sales data and experience of selling millions of ND filters all over the world. PROND8, PROND64, and PROND1000 are the most essential ND filters that will help to realize three expressions that we consider to be commonly used among photographers.

PROND8 (3-STOPS)

HOYA PROND8 is essential for shooting with fast lenses at a wide-open aperture during the daytime, which is perfect for portraiture at a shallow depth of field. The subject appears crisp and clear on the soft blurred background. Other recommended scenes are night trails, fireworks and lightning.

PROND64 (6-STOPS)

HOYA PROND64 is essential for expressing the object in blurred motion during the daytime, which cannot be realized only with camera settings. Recommended for landscape, city snapshot, video, and other photographic genres.

PROND1000 (10-STOPS)

HOYA PROND1000 is essential for expressing an unreal fantasy world thanks to its 10 stops reduction of the light amount. Widely used in a seascape to blur the waves, street snaps to apply clouds motion, and architecture to erase moving people.

PROND FILTERS IN VIDEO PRODUCTION

ND filters in video shooting is also an irreplaceable tool. For example, when shooting with a Sony camera in Slog mode, ISO cannot be set below 800. To obtain natural motion shutter speed is recommended to be adjusted to frame/rate setting. During the daytime PROND8, PROND64, PROND1000 or its combination (like PROND8+PROND64) would be necessary to achieve cinematic quality.
