Neutral density camera filter Hoya NDx4 58mm

The Hoya NDx4 58mm Neutral Density Filter reduces incoming light by 2 stops without altering color balance, enabling greater control over exposure and depth of field. Made from high-quality optical glass in a durable black metal frame, this 58mm filter is suitable for landscape, portrait and video work in bright conditions where overexposure is a risk.

Advantages

The Hoya NDx4 decreases light transmission by two stops while preserving color neutrality and image sharpness. Its optical glass and robust mounting frame ensure reliable performance and easy handling. The 58mm thread size makes it compatible with lenses that accept 58mm screw-in filters.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography in bright sunlight (snow, beach scenes)
• Portraits to achieve shallower depth of field with wider apertures
• Long-exposure effects (waterfalls, moving clouds, traffic light trails)
• Video and cine cameras with fixed shutter speeds filming very bright scenes

How to use

Screw the filter onto a lens with a 58mm filter thread before composing the shot. Use the NDx4 to reduce exposure by two stops so you can select slower shutter speeds or wider apertures without overexposing the image. For long exposures, mount the camera on a tripod and adjust shutter speed and aperture to achieve the desired motion blur or depth of field. For video, attach the filter to prevent overexposure when shutter speed cannot be changed.

Usage recommendations

Use the NDx4 when shooting in very bright conditions (for example sunlit snow or beach scenes) or whenever you need two stops of light reduction to achieve shallower depth of field or longer exposures. Combine with a tripod for stable long-exposure shots and clean the optical surfaces with appropriate lens cleaning tools to maintain image quality.
