HOYA - '77mm ProND EX 64'
(6-stops)
Neutral density filter that reduces the light to an equivalent of 6 f-stopsThe HOYA PRO ND EX Filters cater to the needs of still photography and HDSLR video markets. These filters feature HOYA’s metallic ACCU-ND coating technology which provides a perfectly neutral colour balance to images. Even while moving from one density to the next, it doesn’t add any noticeable colour-cast. The filters also come with thick aluminium frames that are precisely developed to prevent light leakage, ensuring accurate exposure and colour balance.
Neutral Density (ND) filters are essential photographic accessories for reducing the amount of light that enters the camera lens. They allow for greater creative control over exposure, even in bright lighting conditions. Photographers can use ND filters to widen apertures and slow shutter speeds, resulting in dramatic and artistic effects in their images. For video content creators, ND filters are equally important as they help maintain the depth-of-field of the footage while allowing for the matching of shutter speeds with the frame rate.
Neutral Density Filters
Middle Density FilterNeutral Density filters are available in a variety of different densities that allow a differing amount of light to pass through, Light Density (ND2 - ND8), Medium Density (ND16 - ND200), and Deep Density (ND500 - ND1000 / ND100000).
Middle Density Filters, like the PROND EX 64, will help you to add motion blur to the object in the conditions that generally will not allow camera shutter speed to do so.
ACCU-ND Technology
COLOUR SHIFT ISSUE SOLUTIONHOYA offers its own exclusive and wide line-up of ND filters that are branded into PROND EX series for both photographers and filmmakers. PROND EX filters adopt HOYA's clear optical glass that is mounted into a lightweight, precisely crafted aluminium frame. The frame has front filter threads so you can attach additional filters or a lens cap.
Thanks to ACCU-ND technology that puts HOYA ND filters far ahead from other brands the image undergoes no negative affect from colour shift that may occur due to low-quality materials, poor manufacturing QC, or issues with leaking of the Infrared band of the light spectrum. The last problem is the most important nowadays in photography and videography.
HOYA's exclusive ACCU-ND technology achieves equal reduction of the light in visible and IR spectrums. As a result the photographer may not fear any issue with colour shift when using HOYA ND filters in different shooting conditions.
ProND Filters in Video Production
ND Filters for Video ShootingND filters in video shooting is also an irreplaceable tool. For example, when shooting with Sony camera in Slog mode, ISO cannot be set below 800. To obtain natural motion shutter speed is recommended to be adjusted to frame/rate setting. During the daytime PROND EX 8, PROND EX 64, PROND EX 1000 or its combination (like PROND EX 8 + PROND EX 64) would be necessary to achieve cinematic quality.
Stackable Design for Added Control
Combinations of PROND FiltersThe choice of ND filters depends on photographer intentions to achieve the desired effect in the image. In case the effect by using single ND filter does not satisfy photographer's vision, combination of PROND EX filters can also be useful. For example, the combination of PROND EX 8 + PROND EX 64 will give the effect equal to ND500 filter, that can be used to express an unreal fantasy world. The combination of PROND EX 8 + PROND EX 1000 will give the effect equal to ND8000, that will allow to capture the surface of the Sun without overexposure with solid color and visibility of the black spots.
