The Hoya ND 32 reduces light by an equivalent of 5 stops. For photographers, ND filters provide precise control over the amount of light entering the lens, allowing for greater creative control over exposure. For video content creators, ND filters are very helpful in adjusting shutter speeds to match frame rates while maintaining the depth of field of the footage. Thanks to the leading ACCU-ND technology, images do not suffer from negative effects due to color shifts that can occur from inferior materials, poor quality control during manufacturing, or issues with the infrared range of the light spectrum. With Hoya's exclusive ACCU-ND technology, a uniform reduction of light in both the visible and IR spectrum is achieved.
