The Hoya 77mm Pro ND EX Filter Kit (8/64/1000) is an essential tool for photographers and videographers looking to gain greater control over exposure in bright conditions or to achieve creative effects with long-exposure techniques. This filter kit includes three high-quality neutral density (ND) filters: ND8, ND64, and ND1000, which reduce the amount of light entering your lens by 3, 6, and 10 stops, respectively. This allows for enhanced flexibility in achieving the desired exposure, whether you’re shooting in bright sunlight or trying to create unique effects such as motion blur in flowing water or smooth skies. Key features of the Hoya 77mm Pro ND EX Filter Kit (8/64/1000) include:

• ND8, ND64, and ND1000 Filters:
  • The ND8 filter reduces light by 3 stops, allowing for moderate control over exposure without significant loss of detail. Ideal for slightly overexposed environments or for achieving slight motion blur.
  • The ND64 filter offers 6 stops of light reduction, perfect for more dramatic control over exposure, helping you achieve motion blur in flowing water or reduce shutter speeds for smooth effects in bright daylight.
  • The ND1000 filter provides 10 stops of light reduction, making it ideal for long-exposure photography (such as capturing silky smooth waterfalls, softening motion in clouds, or using wide apertures in bright conditions).
• Superior Optical Performance: The Pro ND EX filters are crafted from high-quality optical glass and feature multi-coated surfaces, which help reduce the risk of ghosting and flare while ensuring excellent image quality with minimal color shift. The filters maintain the overall sharpness and clarity of your images, preserving true-to-life colors and contrast.
• Durability and Protection: Hoya’s EX Series filters are known for their rugged, durable construction. The hardened optical glass is designed to resist scratches and is resistant to water and oil, making it easier to clean and maintain. The filter frame is slim, lightweight, and designed to minimize vignetting, even on wide-angle lenses.
• Versatility for Video and Photography: These ND filters are perfect for use in both still photography and videography. In video, the filters allow you to maintain the ideal shutter speed for smooth motion while reducing exposure in bright light. For photography, they enable the use of wider apertures in bright light, allowing for shallow depth of field effects or enabling long-exposure shots that would otherwise result in overexposure.
• Ideal for Landscape and Portrait Photography: Whether you're capturing landscape shots, portrait photography, or product photography, the Hoya Pro ND EX filters give you the ability to control the light hitting your sensor, allowing you to achieve the perfect exposure and creative effect. The ND1000 filter, for example, is especially popular for long-exposure landscape photography, where you can create dramatic effects with movement (like smooth, blurred water or clouds).
• Precision Fit for 77mm Lenses: The 77mm filter size is ideal for lenses with a 77mm filter thread. It’s compatible with a wide variety of camera lenses, including wide-angle, standard zoom, and portrait lenses. The filters can be used individually or in combination to achieve specific levels of light reduction.
• Enhanced Light Control: By controlling the amount of light entering your lens, you can achieve effects like blurred motion, smooth water surfaces, light trails, and vivid long-exposure photos. These filters also enable the use of wide apertures (like f/1.4 or f/2.8) in bright sunlight, helping to isolate your subject and achieve beautiful bokeh.

The Hoya 77mm Pro ND EX Filter Kit (8/64/1000) is a comprehensive and versatile tool for photographers and videographers looking to unlock creative possibilities with long exposures, motion blur, and precise exposure control. The ND8, ND64, and ND1000 filters offer a range of light-reduction options, while the durable, high-quality construction ensures reliable performance even in demanding shooting environments. Whether you're capturing stunning landscapes, portraits, or cinematic video, this filter kit will help you achieve the exposure and effects you envision.
