Das zeichnet den Hoya PRO ND EX 8 aus
ND filters without multi-coating can introduce color casts or reduce sharpness. The PRO ND EX 8 line uses multi-coated optical glass to maintain neutral transmission across the visible spectrum. The 8-stop density provides extended exposure flexibility for landscape, architectural, and video work where motion blur or depth-of-field control is needed.
Ideal für...
Photographers and videographers working in bright daylight or high-contrast scenes who need to open the aperture for shallow depth of field or slow the shutter speed for motion blur effects. Also suited for cinematographers using fixed ND filtration on cinema lenses.
