Hoya 77mm PROND EX 64 Neutral Density 1.8 6-Stop Filter XPD-77NDEX64

After meticulous engineering, the 77mm PROND EX 64 Neutral Density 1.8 6-Stop Filter emerges as an essential tool for both professional photographers and filmmakers seeking precise control over their image exposure. This high-quality filter enables the reduction of light entering the lens by six stops, facilitating the capture of motion with natural fluidity and the creation of cinematic depth of field, even in challenging bright conditions.Crafted with HOYA's pioneering ACCU-ND technology, the PROND EX 64 ensures a uniform reduction of light across both the visible and infrared spectrums. This advanced technology eliminates the common problem of color shift, which is often associated with lower quality neutral density filters. The result is consistent, true-to-life colors across varying lighting conditions and exposure times, ensuring that your creative vision is accurately rendered in your final image.The filter's construction is equally impressive, featuring a lightweight, precision-milled aluminum frame that is both durable and easy to handle. The thoughtful design includes front filter threads, allowing for the convenient attachment of additional filters or a protective lens cap, enhancing the filter's versatility and utility in the field.For videographers, especially those shooting in Slog mode on cameras like Sony, where the ISO cannot drop below 800, the PROND EX 64 is invaluable. It enables the correct shutter speed to match the frame rate, ensuring natural motion without sacrificing exposure quality, even in broad daylight.Moreover, the PROND EX 64 can be combined with other filters in the PROND series to achieve specific effects. For instance, pairing the PROND EX 8 with the PROND EX 64 mimics the effect of an ND500 filter, perfect for creating surreal, dream-like scenes. Alternatively, combining the PROND EX 8 with the PROND EX 1000 simulates an ND8000 effect, allowing for the capture of phenomena like the sun's surface without overexposure.In summary, the 77mm PROND EX 64 Neutral Density 1.8 6-Stop Filter stands as a testament to HOYA's commitment to quality and innovation. It is an indispensable asset for content creators who demand precision, consistency, and flexibility in their work, ensuring that every shot is a true representation of their artistic intent.
