Hoya 82mm HD MKII IRND Neutral Density Filters Kit XHDII-82IRNDKIT

What sets the 82mm HD MKII IRND Neutral Density Filters Kit apart is its precise control over both visible and IR light spectrums, thanks to HOYA's exclusive ACCU-ND technology. This high-quality, durable filter kit ensures equal reduction of light across spectrums, eliminating the risk of color shift in any shooting conditions. Neutral density filters are a crucial tool for both filmmakers and photographers, offering the ability to control the amount of light passing through the lens with precision. For filmmakers, this translates into shutter speeds that align with your frame-rate, all while maintaining creative depth-of-field control. For photographers, it enables longer exposures or shallower depth-of-field even in the brightest sunlight conditions.The filters in this kit are mounted into a new low-profile, lightweight, precision-milled aluminum frame. This innovative frame design is not only durable but also effectively prevents light leaks and bleeding around the filter that can occur during long exposures. It also includes front filter threads, allowing for the attachment of additional filters or a protective lens cap.The HD MKII IRND series features an anti-reflection multi-coating that significantly reduces reflections caused by scattered light rays, a common concern during long exposures. Additionally, a waterproof and oil repellent top-coat is applied for easy cleaning and maintenance, making these filters versatile and easy to use.The choice of ND filters in this kit depends on the photographer's intentions and the desired effect in the final image. If a single ND filter does not meet the demands of the situation, or the photographer's vision, a combination of filters can be used. For instance, the combination of HD MKII IRND 64 + HD MKII IRND 1000 will provide 16 stops of light reduction, allowing you to capture the surface of the sun without overexposure. This effective filter kit offers three different density options (0.9, 1.8, and 3.0), giving you more control over the amount of light that is let in, making it a versatile tool for a variety of shooting situations.
