Neutral density camera filter Hoya NDx4 82mm Filter size 82mm

The Hoya NDx4 82mm neutral density camera filter reduces incoming light by 2 stops, allowing finer control of exposure in bright conditions. Designed for lenses with an 82mm thread, this ND filter is suitable for landscape photography, long-exposure effects and situations where limiting light without changing color balance is required.

Advantages

The NDx4 filter is neutral in color and does not affect white balance while reducing light uniformly across the frame. By cutting light by two stops it enables longer shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright environments. The filter is made to fit 82mm lenses and is constructed for optical clarity and resistance to everyday handling.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography in bright sunlight
• Long-exposure shots to create motion blur (waterfalls, clouds, moving traffic)
• Reducing depth of field by permitting wider apertures outdoors
• Using high-speed film or high-ISO settings in bright scenes
• Video or cine cameras with fixed shutter speeds filming very bright scenes (snow, sand, beach)

How to use

Screw the Hoya NDx4 filter onto the front thread of an 82mm lens until securely seated. Compose and set exposure as usual; the filter reduces incoming light by two stops, so adjust shutter speed or aperture accordingly to achieve the desired effect. For long-exposure effects, use a tripod and remote release to avoid camera shake. For video cameras with fixed shutter speeds, attach the filter to avoid overexposure in very bright scenes.

Usage recommendations

Use the NDx4 when you need modest light reduction without color shift: for smoother water, visible motion in clouds or traffic, or to open the aperture outdoors. Store the filter in its case when not in use and clean with appropriate optical cleaning tools to maintain image quality.
