Clear camera filter Hoya Prond Filter Kit 58 mm

HOYA PROND Filter Kit (58 mm) is a set of three neutral density (ND) filters—PROND8, PROND64 and PROND1000—designed for photographers and video creators who want to control exposure and motion blur in stills and HDSLR videography. The kit uses HOYA's clear optical glass with metallic coating and ACCU‑ND technology to provide neutral color balance and minimal infrared contamination. A thick aluminum frame prevents light leakage and ensures correct exposure and color reproduction.

Advantages

The kit provides three commonly used ND strengths (3, 6 and 10 stops) that cover a wide range of creative needs from slight exposure reduction to extreme long‑exposure effects. HOYA's clear optical glass with ACCU‑ND coating delivers neutral tonal balance without noticeable color cast, while the metallic coating reduces light across the visible and IR spectrum. The robust aluminum frame minimizes light leaks and makes the filters suitable for both photography and video workflows.

Suitable for

• Portraits with shallow depth of field (using PROND8)
• Daytime long‑exposure landscapes and seascapes (PROND64, PROND1000)
• Blurring motion in cityscapes and street photography (PROND64)
• Removing moving people or smoothing water and clouds (PROND1000)
• HDSLR and video shooting when lower shutter speed or cinematic motion blur is required

Key specifications

• Filter kit composition: PROND8 (3 stops), PROND64 (6 stops), PROND1000 (10 stops)
• Mount size: 58 mm
• Glass: HOYA clear optical glass with metallic coating
• Coating technology: ACCU‑ND (neutral color balance, reduced IR contamination)
• Frame: Thick aluminum frame to reduce light leakage

How to use

Attach the appropriate PROND filter to the front of a 58 mm lens by screwing it onto the filter thread. Choose PROND8 for moderate exposure reduction and maintaining wide apertures in daylight, PROND64 for pronounced motion blur and longer exposures, and PROND1000 for extreme long exposures to smooth water, blur clouds, or remove moving subjects. Filters can be combined (for example PROND8+PROND64 or PROND8+PROND1000) to increase overall light reduction when a single filter does not achieve the desired shutter speed.

Usage recommendations

For video, set shutter speed to the reciprocal of (or close to) twice the frame rate for natural motion; use PROND filters or combinations to reach that shutter speed in bright conditions (e.g., PROND8, PROND64, PROND1000 or combinations such as PROND8+PROND64). When combining filters, be aware of potential vignetting on wide lenses and ensure secure mounting to avoid light leaks.
