Product Features in Detail

HOYA PROND FILTER KIT
The choice of ND filters depends on intentions of the photographer to control the shutter speed or aperture. The content of the HOYA PROND FILTER KIT is based on our sales data and experience of selling millions of ND filters all over the world. PROND8, PROND64 and PROND1000 are the most essential ND filters that will help to realize three expressions that we consider to be commonly used among the photographers.

FOR STILL AND HDSLR VIDEOGRAPHY
High technological product that is designed for still and HDSLR videography. The PROND filters use HOYA's exclusive clear optical glass that incorporates a metallic coating on front and back side to equally reduce almost all range of the light spectrum even in IR area. The ACCU-ND technology used in the coating process yields a truly neutral color balance that will not add any noticeable color cast to your images. HOYA PROND filters incorporates precisely developed thick aluminum frame to prevent light leakage, thus obtain correct exposure and color balance.

PROND8 (3-STOPS)
HOYA PROND8 is essential for shooting with fast lenses at wide open aperture during the daytime, which is perfect for portraiture at shallow depth of field. The subject appears crisp and clear on the soft blurred background. Other recommended scenes are night trails, fireworks and lightnings.

PROND64 (6-STOPS)
HOYA PROND64 is essential for expressing the object in blurred motion during the daytime, which cannot be realized only with camera settings. Recommended for landscape, city snapshot, video and other photographic genres.

PROND1000 (10-STOPS)
HOYA PROND1000 is essential for expressing an unreal fantasy world thanks to its 10 stops reduction of the light amount. Widely used in seascape to blur the waves, street snap to apply clouds motion and architecture to erase moving people.

PROND FILTERS IN VIDEO PRODUCTION
ND filters in video shooting is also an irreplaceable tool. For example, when shooting with Sony camera in Slog mode, ISO cannot be set below 800. To obtain natural motion shutter speed is recommended to be adjusted to frame/rate setting. During the daytime PROND8, PROND64, PROND1000 or its combination (like PROND8+PROND64) would be necessary to achieve cinematic quality.

COMBINATIONS OF PROND FILTERS
The choice of ND filters depends on photographer intentions to achieve the desired effect in the image. In case the effect by using single ND filter does not satisfy photographer's vision, combination of PROND filters can also be useful. For example, the combination of PROND8+PROND64 will give the effect equal to ND500 filter, that can be used to express an unreal fantasy world. The combination of PROND8+PROND1000 will give the effect equal to ND8000, that will allow to capture the surface of the Sun without overexposure with solid color and visibility of the black spots.
