The Hoya ND 1000 reduces light by an equivalent of 10 stops. Neutral density filters (ND filters) are among the most sought-after and important types of photographic filters for several reasons. For photographers, ND filters allow precise control over the amount of light entering the lens, enabling greater creative control over exposure. For video content creators, ND filters are very helpful in setting shutter speeds to adjust frame rates while maintaining the depth of field of the footage. PROND filters use HOYA's clear optical glass, which is mounted in a lightweight, precisely crafted aluminum frame. Thanks to the leading ACCU-ND technology, images do not suffer from negative effects caused by color shifts that can occur due to inferior materials, poor quality control during manufacturing, or issues with infrared light spectrum leakage. With HOYA's exclusive ACCU-ND technology, a uniform reduction of light in both the visible and IR spectrum is achieved.
