## Long description

Hoya PROND EX 8 is a 52 mm neutral density (ND8) camera filter in a black aluminum frame that reduces incoming light by three stops. Designed to provide controlled exposure in bright conditions, this ND8 filter enables longer shutter speeds and wider apertures without overexposure. The filter uses Hoya's clear optical glass and is suitable for landscape, motion blur and portrait photography where light reduction is required. The front thread on the frame permits mounting additional filters or a lens cap.
Advantages
The PROND EX 8 offers precise three-stop light reduction with minimal color shift thanks to Hoya's ACCU-ND technology, which balances attenuation across visible and infrared spectra. Its lightweight, precisely crafted aluminum frame provides durable mounting and front filter threads for stacking or protecting the optics. The single-piece supply and clear optical glass deliver predictable exposure control for both still photography and video work.
Suitable for
Landscape photography to allow longer exposures for smoothing water and clouds
Motion blur effects for subjects in movement
Portraits with fast lenses where wider apertures are needed in bright light
Video production to maintain shutter speed to match frame rate while preserving depth of field
Key specifications
Filter type: Neutral density (ND8) — 3 stops light reduction
Mount diameter: 52 mm
Frame material: Lightweight aluminum with front thread
Optical element: Clear Hoya optical glass with ACCU-ND color correction
Finish: Black
Pack quantity: 1 piece
How to use
Attach the Hoya PROND EX 8 to a 52 mm lens thread by screwing it gently until secure. Compose and meter your scene as usual; expect exposure values to change by approximately three stops. For stills, use the increased exposure time to introduce motion blur or enable a wider aperture for shallow depth of field. For video, set shutter speed according to the desired frame rate and use the filter to avoid overexposure while keeping the same aperture. When stacking filters, use the front thread to add additional elements carefully to avoid vignetting on wide-angle lenses.
Usage recommendations
Store the filter in a protective case when not in use and clean the glass with a microfiber cloth and appropriate lens cleaner. Avoid overtightening the filter on the lens threads. If shooting in mixed lighting or infrared-heavy scenes, rely on Hoya's ACCU-ND technology to minimize color shift but verify white balance in-camera or in post-production as needed.
