Hoya 82mm Pro ND100 Filter

The PRO ND100 has a 6 2/3-stop light reduction equal to an ND optical density of approx. 2.1. The ACCU-ND technology in the Hoya PRO ND filters yields a truly neutral colour balance that will not add any noticeable colour-cast to your images. The Hoya PRO ND series is aimed at the still photography and HDSLR video markets. The series provides 10 filters from one stop to 10 stop light reduction.

The Metallic ACCU-ND coating on the PRO ND filters does not colour shift as you move from one density to the next, a common problem with other series of neutral density filters. Now you can set your white balance once and have the same colour balance even if you need to change filters due to changes in lighting, or for creative effect.

The PRO ND filters use Hoya s exclusive clear optical glass that has a metallic ACCU-ND coating front and back to create the neutral density affect.

Neutral density filters are designed to reduce the amount of light entering your camera lens and should not have any other effect on the image. Reducing the amount of light allows for the use of wider apertures or slower shutter speeds for creative and dramatic effects in bright lighting conditions.

The HOYA PRO ND 100 is a dark neutral density filter with a filter factor of 100. This filter factor converts to a 6 2/3 stops light loss. This is a great filter slowing down the shutter speed to blur motion. Example: In daylight maybe the slowest shutter speed available with a filter is 1/60 sec at F/22. By adding the PRO ND 100 a shutter speed of 2 full seconds would be possible.
