Camera filter set Hoya PRO ND EX Filter Kit 52 mm

The Hoya PRO ND EX Filter Kit 52 mm contains three neutral density filters (PROND EX 8, PROND EX 64, PROND EX 1000) designed to reduce the amount of light entering the lens and enable longer exposures or wider apertures. This kit is suitable for photographers and video creators who want to explore slow shutter techniques, control depth of field in bright conditions, or produce motion blur effects in landscapes, seascapes and urban scenes. The filters use clear optical glass with a metallic coating and ACCU‑ND technology for a neutral color balance and are mounted in a thick aluminum frame to reduce light leakage and ensure correct exposure.

Advantages

The kit provides three commonly used ND densities (3, 6 and 10 stops) that cover a wide range of creative needs without requiring users to buy individual filters separately. Hoya's clear optical glass combined with a metallic coating on both sides and ACCU‑ND technology minimizes color cast across the visible and near‑IR spectrum. The robust aluminum frames help prevent light leaks and maintain consistent exposure and color balance, and the 52 mm diameter fits lenses with that thread size.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography to create motion blur in water and clouds
• Portraits with wide apertures in bright conditions to achieve shallow depth of field
• Long‑exposure urban and street scenes to blur people and traffic
• Seascapes to smooth waves and capture milky water effects
• HDSLR and video shooting to achieve correct cinematic shutter speeds during daytime

Key specifications

• Includes: PROND EX 8 (3‑stop), PROND EX 64 (6‑stop), PROND EX 1000 (10‑stop)
• Filter diameter: 52 mm
• Glass: Hoya clear optical glass with metallic coating (front and back)
• Coating technology: ACCU‑ND for neutral color balance
• Frame: Thick aluminum frame to reduce light leakage

How to use

Attach the appropriate PROND EX filter to the front of a 52 mm lens by screwing it into the filter thread. Select the filter density based on the desired exposure reduction: PROND EX 8 for 3 stops, PROND EX 64 for 6 stops, PROND EX 1000 for 10 stops. For stronger reductions, combine filters by stacking them (for example PROND EX 8 + PROND EX 64). When using filters for long exposures, mount the camera on a tripod, use a remote trigger or self‑timer, and check exposure and white balance in live view or test frames. For video, set shutter speed according to frame rate and adjust ND strength to maintain correct exposure without increasing ISO.

Usage recommendations

Start with PROND EX 8 for shallow depth‑of‑field daytime portraits, use PROND EX 64 for moderate motion blur in landscapes and city scenes, and choose PROND EX 1000 for strong long‑exposure effects such as smoothing waves or erasing moving people. Combine filters when a higher stop reduction is required, and always verify exposure and color balance after stacking filters.
