Neutral density camera filter Hoya PROND4 58 mm

The Hoya PROND4 58 mm neutral density filter reduces incoming light by 2 stops (ND 0.6) while maintaining a neutral color balance. Designed for still photography and HDSLR video, this filter uses Hoya’s clear optical glass with a metallic ACCU-ND coating on both faces and comes in a slim black frame to minimise reflections and vignetting.

Advantages

The ACCU-ND metallic coating provides consistent, neutral color reproduction across densities so there is no noticeable color cast when changing filters. The PROND4’s two-stop reduction allows you to use wider apertures or slower shutter speeds in bright conditions without altering white balance, and the quality optical glass ensures image clarity and durability.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography requiring longer exposures
• Portraits shot with wide apertures in bright light
• HDSLR video where controlled exposure and consistent color are needed

How to use

Screw the 58 mm PROND4 filter onto the front of a compatible lens with a 58 mm filter thread. Set your desired aperture or shutter speed to achieve the intended creative effect—wider aperture for shallow depth of field or slower shutter for motion blur—and adjust exposure settings as needed. Keep white balance set once; the ACCU-ND coating maintains neutral color across densities.

Usage recommendations

Use the Hoya PROND4 when bright light prevents your chosen aperture or shutter speed; combine with a tripod for long exposures and check for flare with backlit scenes. Store the filter in a protective case when not in use and clean with lens-safe tools to maintain optical performance.
