Hoya Variable Density II 55mm Filter

Hoya Variable Density II is a neutral density adjustable filter with an ND range from 1.5 to 9 f-stops (ND3-400). The difference with the previous Hoya Variable Density filter is the newly designed rotatable frame with convenient knob, allowing for better operation. Neutral density filters are primarily used for light reduction in landscape shots and allowing slower shutter speeds in bright conditions. Variable density filters can also increase the amount of bokeh when shooting in the over-lit conditions, thus, preventing the image from overexposure. Exclusive frame design to minimise the risk of vignetting when used with wide angle lenses. Enable to attach a lens cap one size bigger than the filter size. A Variable Density filter is a must have item for video bloggers and professional video content creators. Their use allows cine/video cameras to set the appropriate exposures in a bright lighting conditions to achieve cinematic look.
