Hoya 49mm ND Essentials Filter Kit 8/64/1000
The Hoya 49mm ND Essentials Filter Kit 8/64/1000 is an essential filter kit designed for amateur and professional photographers and video content creators. The kit consists of 3 ND filters — PROND8, PROND64, and PROND1000 — enabling photographers to capture the world in a variety of different expressions.
The choice of ND filters depends on the photographer's intention to control shutter speed or aperture. The contents of this filter kit are based on experience gained from selling millions of ND filters worldwide. PROND8, PROND64, and PROND1000 are the most essential ND filters, helping to achieve three expressions that we consider to be widely used by photographers.
The Hoya PROND filter is a high-technology product designed for photo and HDSLR videography. The PROND filters utilise Hoya's exclusive clear optical glass with a metal coating on both the front and rear surfaces to reduce virtually the entire light spectrum evenly, even in the infrared range. The ACCU-ND technology used in the coating process ensures a truly neutral colour balance that adds no noticeable colour cast to your images. Hoya PROND filters feature a precisely engineered thick aluminium frame to prevent light leakage, ensuring correct exposure and colour balance.
PROND8 (3 stops)
The Hoya PROND8 is essential for shooting with fast lenses at wide-open aperture during the day, making it perfect for portraits with a shallow depth of field. The subject appears sharp and clear against a soft, blurred background. Other recommended scenes include night-time light trails, fireworks, and lightning.
PROND64 (6 stops)
The Hoya PROND64 is essential for capturing subjects in blurred motion during the day — an effect that cannot be achieved through camera settings alone. Recommended for landscapes, urban photography, video, and other photographic genres.
PROND1000 (10 stops)
The Hoya PROND1000 is essential for capturing a surreal, fantasy world thanks to its 10-stop reduction in light. Widely used in seascapes to blur waves, in street photography to emphasise cloud movement, and in architectural photography to eliminate moving people from the scene.
