- #625 in Camera Lens Neutral Density Filters
These filters offer both amateur and professional photographers HOYA's famous quality at reasonable prices. They have coatings applied to both surfaces to suppress reflection and increase light transmission.The Hoya Multi-Coated Neutral Density (ND) Filter is an essential accessory for any photographer's camera bag. ND filters reduce the amount of visible light that enters the lens, allowing the user to utilise wider apertures or slower shutter speeds, particularly in bright conditions. ND filters work especially well for portraits by allowing the photographer to reduce the depth of field, producing pleasant background blur while keeping the subject in sharp focus. These filters are also often used to emphasize movement by permitting slow shutter speeds in bright light, giving life to photos that would otherwise look frozen in time.Photographing solar eclipses and ultra-bright light sources can be extremely dangerous. This filter reduces light values by 9 stops to less than 1/500th of its original intensity and allows safe photography. It can also be used to achieve super slow shutter speeds in daylight to render moving subjects invisible.

This Hoya 67mm Neutral Density ND-400 X, 9 Stop Multi-Coated Glass Filter is everything except a 9 stop ND filter! it is standard - non changeable- ND-400 filter. Totally wrong item description which left me with a ND filter i cant use for the intend i bought it for.

Excellent filtre pour les poses longues, même sur grand angle ! (Sauf à 10mm où je constate que l’on voit étrangement des zones plus sombres aux coins de la photo)Je recommande vivement ce filtre. J’ai également testé les filtres variables moins ches d’autres marques, le résultat est pas du tout comparable.En annexe une photo réalisée avec mon canon 750D et le filtre en Norvège (îles Lofoten)

The filter works very well, and I was able to get really great results. I did not notice any major degradation in image quality, but the white balance was slightly off compared to photos without the filter. I don't know if this was the result of the long exposure and my 5dmkiii sensor, or if the filter is actually not perfectly neutral. My guess is it's in the filter. However, in my opinion the coloring was still accurate, and is very easy to adjust in raw. I also felt that my images lost quite a bit of contrast compared to those shot without the filter (again, easy to adjust for in raw).My feeling is that for this price if I can avoid ghosting, and a loss of sharpness It's a great deal!

ORDERED = 06/15/2016 || SELLER = Three Dots World || PAID = $34.62(Beware of Seller changes, that's when you can get burned!!!):: PROS ::1.) Well made in Japan.2.) They feel like good optical glass.3.) Great for beach, lakes, and stream long exposures!4.) Threads are machined exactly to specs, least mine was ;):: CONS ::1.) Nothing so far, I need to use them more to be honest.:: OVERALL :: Good optical glass from Japan, is it like the old school quality, maybe not. I do like them I have used them a little, looking forward to taking some shore long exposures to post for you later. I like it better then my TIFFEN version.

I notice a few minor scratches. The packing was not all that great either. I hope it is a fresh piece.mahadevan

Nach mehreren Testfotos bin ich begeistert von diesem Filter:- absolut keine Farbverzerrungen erkennbar, ich glaube auch eine leichte Kontrastzunahme zu erkennen. Vorher-Nachher Fotos habe ich aber nicht verglichen, weil ich sofort mit der Wiedergabe sehr zufrieden war.- hochwertig verarbeitet und fühlt sich sehr stabil an- auch der hohe Rand mit dem Gewinde gibt keine Schatten bei 27mm Brennweite (18mm x 1,5 Cropfaktor).Das einzige Problem was ich hatte, war vor dem Kauf heraus zu finden, wie diese Bezeichnung NDX400 auf zu schlüsseln ist, da es jeder Hersteller anders macht.Bei diesem Filter gilt:- Die Belichtungszeit wird um den Faktor 400 verlängert, dann macht die Bezeichnung auch Sinn ND x400 (=mal 400), also bei 1/400s kommt man mit diesem Filter auf 1s- mit einer Blende von 22 und diesem Filter komme ich am hellen aber bewölkten Tag auf eine Belichtungszeit von 30s, Tiefenschärfe bis zum Mond und super Wischeffekte.Jeder der sich überlegt einen Graufilter zu kaufen, sollte dabei nicht sparen um sicher zu stellen dass dieser auch tatsächlich farbneutral ist. Diesen Filter kann ich auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen und würde ihn wieder kaufen.

Having a blast in the middle of the day getting pictures that are dreamy and sharp ! Wow ! What a fantastic little tool for my lens. This Hoya ND400 filter is just what I needed for my arsenal. The best long exposure shots I've ever done with no vignetting or distortion of any kind . I highly recommend this little piece of glass. The shots I am getting are worth 100 times what I paid for it. I wish I'd bought it sooner.I payed premium dollar for the best Nikon lenses and I expect quality from my images as long as I've done my part on the settings and composition. I've tried other filters but have always been disappointed with the overall quality of the shots I was getting. A friend told me the Hoya would eliminate the quality problems from a vignetting stand point and that there would be no distortion of any kind. I waited to long to take his advise because he was right. I have now replaced all my neutral density filters to Hoya. No more cropping and fixing images in photoshop for me. Shooting with confidence is just what I needed to get back into my long exposure groove . Now I keep the whole picture I intended to shoot without having to sacrifice in post editing. Thanks Hoya !

It is a great filter that helps you make really long exposures during the day. Believe me 9 stops are a lot and very useful.What I hate in it is that it affects white balance dramatically it adds blue and green cast to my scene. SO, it is not really pure Neutral density. I find my self having to bump my color temperature an extra 2000 Kelvin before having the correct white balance*. and this is why I gave it the 3 stars (updated 4 stars), otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.Facts about ND filters and helpful tips:- like all ND filters, you won't be able to use your View Finder when the filter is on; too dark. You can use your LCD but even on the LCD it will be sometimes too dark to focus. Setup your camera focus before putting the filter on.- like all ND filters, the camera cannot decide the correct white balance when the filter is on. So avoid auto white balance, use gray card or expodisk for your custom white balance. Or shoot RAW and correct white balance in post processing.Enjoy it.*The test I conducted to find out how much color cast the filter produce, I shot the same scene with and without the filter. Then to achieve the same colors, I had to use 6000K on the without-the-filter-image and 7900K on the with-the-filter-image. So I ended up with 1900 K difference almost 2000 K !!UPDATE 6/10/2011: after reading some reviews on other brands, I found that color cast is normal for this amount of density filters (9 stops). So I changed my rating from 3 to 4

I use this filter exclusively with a Casio Exilim F1 to conduct flash research at 600 or 1200 frames per second. I use it to prevent "washout" of the frames I NEED to view. I do not know of ANY filter comparable to this one; it has no competition. If you need an aggressive neutral density filter, this is it.As far as use with the Casio Exilim F1 high-speed video goes, their is plenty of ambient light for you to see your target on the LCD screen. Once recording starts visibility is very limited with the exception of bright sunny days and/or snowy backgrounds or targets with highly contrasting colors. The events that I try to capture have light intensities of about 12 million candela or more and I do not experience "washout". I use both the NDx8 and the NDx400. The NDx8 will "washout" probably at 9-10 million candela and provides okay visiblity with ambient light. Remember that is with 600 frames per second (1.7ms)video.I should note that this filter is not for use ONLY with video cameras. It seems to be mainly used for long exposure still shots.
