Camera filter set Hoya PRO ND EX Filter Kit 55 mm

The Hoya PRO ND EX Filter Kit 55 mm includes three neutral density filters (PROND EX 8, PROND EX 64 and PROND EX 1000) that reduce the amount of light entering the lens to allow longer exposures and greater creative control. Made from Hoya's clear optical glass with metallic coatings and a thick aluminum frame, the filters are intended for still photography and HDSLR videography and are designed to minimise color cast and prevent light leakage.

Advantages

The kit covers three common ND strengths—3-stop, 6-stop and 10-stop—so photographers can quickly experiment with shallow depth of field, motion blur and extreme long exposures without buying separate single filters. Hoya's ACCU-ND coating and metallic treatment provide a neutral colour balance across the visible and near-IR spectrum, while the solid aluminum frame reduces the risk of light leakage and helps maintain correct exposure and colour reproduction. The 55 mm thread size fits lenses with the same filter diameter.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography to create smooth water and cloud motion
• Portraits with wide apertures in daylight for shallow depth of field
• Long-exposure seascapes and architecture to remove moving people
• City and street photography to blur moving subjects or clouds
• HDSLR and video recording where shutter speed must be controlled for cinematic motion

Когда может не подойти

Если у вас объектив с диаметром фильтра, отличным от 55 мм, набор не будет напрямую совместим без переходного кольца. Набор также не предназначен для ситуаций, когда требуется регулируемый ND-фильтр для быстрого изменения плотности при съёмке в переменных условиях освещённости.

Key specifications

• Filter type: Neutral Density (ND)
• Included densities: 3-stop (ND8), 6-stop (ND64), 10-stop (ND1000)
• Filter diameter: 55 mm
• Material: Clear optical glass with metallic coatings
• Frame: Thick aluminium frame designed to reduce light leakage
• Intended use: Still photography and HDSLR videography

How to use

Screw the appropriate ND filter onto a lens with a 55 mm thread to reduce incoming light by the indicated number of stops. Use the 3-stop filter to allow wider apertures in daylight, the 6-stop for moderate motion blur or longer exposures, and the 10-stop for very long exposures and dramatic smoothing of water or clouds. Filters can be stacked to combine densities when more light reduction is needed; take care to avoid vignetting on wide-angle lenses and check exposure and white balance after stacking.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your lens filter thread is 55 mm or plan to use a step-up/step-down adapter.
• Decide if fixed-density ND filters meet your needs or if a variable ND would be more convenient.
• Be aware that stacking filters increases the risk of vignetting and may require exposure and white balance adjustments.

Usage recommendations

For video work where shutter speed must match frame rate (for example when using S-Log profiles with high base ISO), use the appropriate PROND EX filter or combinations (for example PROND EX 8 + PROND EX 64) to achieve natural motion blur without overexposure. When stacking filters, monitor for vignetting and maintain correct white balance to preserve neutral tones.
