The Hoya 49 mm HD MKII IRND 64 Neutral Density 1.8 6-Stop Filter offers precise light control for photographers and filmmakers. This professional filter features HOYA's ACCU-ND technology, which ensures uniform light reduction across visible and infrared spectra, effectively eliminating color shift issues that often compromise image quality. With a 6-stop light reduction capability (ND 1.8), this filter allows for creative exposure control in bright lighting conditions. The filter is constructed with a flat, precision-machined aluminum frame that prevents light leaks and flare during long exposures. It includes front filter threads for attaching additional filters or protective lens caps. The optical glass is coated with an anti-reflective multi-coating to minimize reflections from stray light, which is particularly important during longer exposure times. A water-repellent and oil-repellent surface coating makes cleaning and maintenance easier. With a diameter of 49 mm and a slim frame profile, this filter maintains optical quality while providing reliable light reduction for various photographic applications. It enables photographers to achieve longer exposure times for motion blur effects and allows filmmakers to maintain correct shutter angle relationships to their frame rates. The neutral density properties of the filter ensure accurate color reproduction across different lighting scenarios, making it suitable for landscape photography, architectural shots, and video production, where precise exposure control is essential. When combined with other ND filters in the series, such as the HD MKII IRND 1000, it can provide up to 16 stops of light reduction for extreme exposure situations.
