## Summary description

The Hoya 0686 is a 55 mm neutral density camera filter designed to reduce light entering the lens. It helps achieve better exposure control and allows for creative effects in photography. The filter is black and comes in a single pack, making it a practical choice for photographers looking to enhance their images.

## Long description

The Hoya 0686 55 mm neutral density camera filter reduces the amount of visible light entering the lens to enable greater exposure control and creative effects. Made by Hoya, this Multi-Coated ND filter is suitable for both amateur and professional photographers and features coatings on both surfaces to suppress reflections and increase light transmission. It reduces light by 9 stops, allowing safe photography of very bright sources and enabling very slow shutter speeds in daylight.
Advantages
The filter’s dual-side multi-coating lowers reflections and improves contrast while maintaining accurate colour rendition. With a 55 mm thread size and a slim profile, it fits lenses with 55 mm filter threads without causing vignetting on most setups. The 9-stop light reduction permits wide apertures or long exposures in bright conditions and makes photographing solar eclipses or other extremely bright scenes safer when used correctly.
Suitable for
Portrait photography requiring shallow depth of field in bright light
Long-exposure daytime landscapes and seascapes
Capturing motion blur (waterfalls, clouds, moving crowds)
Photographing very bright light sources or solar eclipses with proper precautions

How to use
Screw the 55 mm ND filter onto the front of a lens with a matching thread. Meter exposure with the filter in place or calculate the 9-stop exposure change and adjust aperture and shutter speed accordingly. Use the filter to open the aperture for shallower depth of field in bright light or to slow the shutter speed for motion blur effects. When photographing very bright sources such as solar eclipses, confirm the filter is secure and rated for the intended use before framing and shooting.
Usage recommendations
Do not attempt to view the sun through the lens or viewfinder even with a filter unless you are certain the filter is specifically rated and undamaged; incorrect use can cause permanent eye or camera sensor damage. Store the filter in its case when not in use and clean with a soft brush and microfiber cloth to maintain the multi-coating performance.
