Hoya 62mm PROND EX 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter XPD-62NDEX8

Why settle for less when you can have the best? The 62mm PROND EX 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter is an essential tool for both filmmakers and photographers, providing precise control over the amount of light that passes through the lens. This allows for greater creative control over exposure, enabling filmmakers to match shutter speeds with their frame-rate while maintaining their desired depth-of-field. Photographers, on the other hand, can utilize longer exposures or achieve a shallow depth-of-field even in bright sunlight.Unlike many neutral density filters on the market, the 62mm PROND EX 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter eliminates the issue of unpredictable "color shift". This common problem is often caused by low-quality materials, substandard manufacturing, and neglect of the infrared band of the light spectrum. However, thanks to HOYA's exclusive ACCU-ND technology, this filter ensures no negative effects from color shift, providing consistent and reliable results across different shooting conditions.The 62mm PROND EX 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter is housed in a lightweight, precision-milled aluminum frame, designed to withstand the rigors of professional use. It also includes front filter threads, allowing for the attachment of additional filters or a protective lens cap for added versatility.This filter is also an excellent tool for video shooting, particularly when using a Sony camera in Slog mode. With the inability to set ISO below 800, the use of the PROND EX 8, PROND EX 64, PROND EX 1000 or a combination of these filters can help achieve cinematic quality during daytime shooting.For photographers seeking to achieve a specific effect in their final image, the 62mm PROND EX 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter can be combined with other PROND EX filters. For instance, stacking the PROND EX 8 with the PROND EX 64 results in an effect equivalent to an ND500 filter, perfect for creating surreal imagery. Similarly, combining the PROND EX 8 with the PROND EX 1000 mimics the effect of an ND8000 filter, enabling the capture of the sun's surface without overexposure.In conclusion, the 62mm PROND EX 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter is a versatile, high-quality tool that offers unparalleled control over light exposure, making it an indispensable asset for any filmmaker or photographer.
