Hoya 82mm PROND EX 1000 Neutral Density 3.0 10-Stop Filter XPD-82NDEX1000

If you're a filmmaker or photographer seeking precise control over the light entering your lens, the 82mm PROND EX 1000 Neutral Density 3.0 10-Stop Filter is an essential tool. This high-quality, durable filter allows you to manipulate exposure levels, enabling shutter speeds that align with your frame-rate while maintaining your desired depth-of-field. For photographers, this versatile filter facilitates longer exposures or a shallow depth-of-field in bright sunlight. Unlike many neutral density filters on the market, this reliable filter from Hoya, a reputable brand known for its superior photography equipment, 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. The PROND EX 1000 Neutral Density Filter, however, employs HOYA's exclusive ACCU-ND technology, ensuring equal reduction of light in both visible and IR spectrums. This innovative technology prevents any negative effects from color shift, regardless of shooting conditions. Constructed with a lightweight, precision-milled aluminum frame, this filter is designed to last. It also includes front filter threads, allowing for the attachment of additional filters or a protective lens cap. This makes it an ideal choice for videographers shooting in Slog mode with Sony cameras, where ISO cannot be set below 800. Whether you're aiming for cinematic quality or a surreal effect in your final image, the PROND EX 1000 Neutral Density Filter can be combined with other PROND EX filters to achieve your creative vision. For instance, pairing the PROND EX 8 with the PROND EX 64 results in an effect equivalent to an ND500 filter, while combining the PROND EX 8 with the PROND EX 1000 mimics the effect of an ND8000 filter. This flexibility allows you to capture even the surface of the sun without overexposure. In summary, the 82mm PROND EX 1000 Neutral Density 3.0 10-Stop Filter is a versatile, effective, and reliable tool for any photographer or filmmaker seeking to enhance their control over light and exposure.
