Hoya Filtro ND Variable 77MM

Description

Hoya 82mm Variable Neutral Density Filter

The Hoya Variable Density Filter uses two polarizing layers to control the amount of light passing through the filter and entering the camera lens. At its minimum effect, the filter passes 1/3 of the light in a scene. That's equal to 1.5 stops in aperture or shutter speed. At its maximum effect, the filter passes only 1/400 of the light in a scene. That's equal to 9 stops in aperture or shutter speed.

After mounting the filter on the lens, rotating the filter ring between “Min.” and “Max.” allows you to greatly control the amount of light entering the lens. With the Hoya Variable Density Filter, it’s possible to shoot with fast lenses like a 50mm f/1.4 lens wide open at f/1.4 in bright sunlight for a very shallow depth of field. Or to slow the shutter speed down to a point where the shutter can be open for several seconds in bright sunlight. This is enough to create artistic motion blur images of water, cars, people, or just about anything that moves. The creative possibilities are endless.
