Neutral density camera filter Hoya NDx8 62mm

The Hoya NDx8 62mm Neutral Density Filter reduces light entering the lens by 3 stops, enabling longer exposure times and wider apertures without altering color balance. Constructed from optical glass with a neutral grey finish, this 62mm filter is suitable for landscape and outdoor photography where controlling exposure and motion blur is required.

Advantages

This neutral density camera filter provides a consistent 3-stop reduction in light, allowing photographers to use slower shutter speeds or larger apertures in bright conditions. The filter maintains color neutrality while helping to reduce glare and achieve effects such as smooth water or motion blur. Its 62mm diameter fits lenses with the corresponding thread size and is made from quality optical materials for reliable performance.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography (waterfalls, seascapes)
• Long-exposure effects (smooth water, cloud motion)
• Reducing depth of field in bright light
• Video and cine cameras filming very bright scenes

How to use

Screw the Hoya NDx8 62mm filter onto a lens with a 62mm thread. Meter exposure with the filter mounted or calculate the 3-stop compensation when setting shutter speed and aperture. Use the filter to extend exposure time for motion blur effects (for example, use slower shutter speeds for waterfalls or moving clouds) or to open aperture for shallower depth of field in bright light. For video cameras with fixed shutter speeds, attach the filter to avoid overexposure in very bright scenes.

Usage recommendations

For best results, combine the NDx8 filter with a tripod when using slow shutter speeds, and check white balance if precise color rendering is critical. Store the filter in a protective case when not in use to avoid scratches and dust.
