Neutral density camera filter Hoya 0982 77 mm

The Hoya 0982 77 mm neutral density camera filter reduces incoming light by 6.2/3 stops, enabling the use of wider apertures or slower shutter speeds without introducing noticeable colour casts. Part of the Hoya PRO ND line with ACCU-ND technology, this 77 mm filter is engineered for still photography and HDSLR video, offering a truly neutral balance across densities and a low-profile aluminium ring to minimise vignetting.

Advantages

ACCU-ND metallic coating maintains a neutral colour balance across different densities so you can set white balance once and retain consistent colour when swapping filters. The filter permits reduced depth of field for portrait work and allows longer exposures for creative effects in bright conditions. Its thin, one-piece aluminium frame secures the glass parallel to the sensor and helps prevent vignetting with wide-angle lenses.

Suitable for

• Long-exposure landscape photography
• Portraits with shallow depth of field in bright light
• HDSLR video requiring consistent colour balance
• Creative motion blur and slow-shutter effects

Key specifications

• Model: Hoya PRO ND (ACCU-ND)
• Diameter: 77 mm
• Light reduction: 6.2/3 stops (part of a range from 2 to 10 stops)
• Frame: Low-profile one-piece aluminium

How to use

Screw the 77 mm Hoya PRO ND filter onto the front of a compatible lens and confirm it is secure and parallel to the lens plane. Use wider apertures or slower shutter speeds as required to achieve the desired exposure or creative effect. When shooting video or mixed lighting, set white balance after mounting the filter; the ACCU-ND coating helps keep colour consistent if you change filter densities.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the Hoya 77 mm PRO ND filter on lenses that accept 77 mm threads and check for vignetting when using ultra-wide-angle lenses. Store the filter in a protective case when not in use and clean the glass with a suitable lens cloth and solution to maintain image quality.
