Hoya 82mm Variable ND II Filter

Overview
The HOYA Variable Density II filter is a versatile tool for photographers and videographers looking to add creative effects to their work. By reducing shutter speed, this filter allows for motion blurring effects, such as capturing the movement of water, people, or vehicles. It also enables the use of wider apertures to decrease depth-of-field, creating a more focused subject. With a convenient density knob and scale, the filter can be easily adjusted to achieve the desired effect.

In addition, the HOYA Variable Density II filter is available in various sizes and is compatible with a wide range of lenses. It is particularly useful for video and cine cameras with limited shutter-speed ranges, allowing them to film in bright lighting conditions and achieve a cinematic look. To ensure the best results with slow shutter speeds, it is recommended to use a tripod. This upgraded version of the original Variable Density filter offers improved operation and precision, making it a valuable addition to any photographer or videographers toolkit.

About the Hoya 82mm Variable ND II Filter
The New HOYA Variable Density II is an upgrade of the original Variable Density filter and features a newly designed rotatable frame with convenient knob, allowing for better operation.

These filters provide a convenient way adjust exposure control by varying the amount of light entering the camera by 1.5 to 9-stops (equivalent to NDx3-400, or 0.45-2.7 density for Cine). The precision double-ring design allows the outer ring to rotate, controlling the amount of neutral density anywhere within the 1.5 to 9-stop range. The thin double-ring design also reduces the likelihood of vignetting with wide-angle lenses. These versatile filters allow for many special effects such as being able to control depth of field by using a wider aperture, as well as create or control motion blur by being able to choose slow shutter speeds for perfect blurring.

LENS CAP COMPATIBILITY

Hoya Variable Density II filters require a lens cap one size larger than the size of the filter itself. For example, the 77mm Hoya Variable Density II Filter requires an 82mm lens cap.

FOR LONGER EXPOSURES

Without changing the aperture, the HOYA Variable Density II provides the freedom to change the shutter speed according the effect desired. Effective for motion blurring effects like waterfalls, cars or blurred panning movement to make the subject stand out from the background.

FOR WIDER APERTURES

Allows wider apertures in over-lit conditions be used to decrease depth-of-field, literally focusing more attention on the subject.

PREVENTING OVEREXPOSURE

Even with a shutter speed of 1/8000 seconds, a large aperture of f/1.4 or f/1.2 can cause overexposure. With the HOYA Variable Density II filter, overexposure issues can be avoided by adjusting the light intake.

FOR SHOOTING VIDEO IN CINEMATIC LOOK

Variable Density filter is a must-have item for video bloggers and professional video content creators. Allow cine/video cameras to set the appropriate exposures in a bright lighting condition to achieve cinematic look.
