10 Stop Reduction

The HOYA PROND 1000 is an extremely dark neutral density filter with a filter factor 1000. This filter factor converts to a 10 stops reduction on the amount of light entering the lens. With this extreme filter motion is greatly blurred or depending on the speed some moving subjects will disappear altogether. With a ND filter as strong as the PROND 1000 shutter speeds as slow as 16 seconds or more are possible in daylight.

The ACCU-ND technology in the Hoya PROND filters yields a truly neutral colour balance that will not add any noticeable colour-cast to your images. The Hoya PROND series is aimed at the still photography and HDSLR video markets. The series provides 9 filters from two stop to 10 stop light reduction.

The Metallic ACCU-ND coating on the PROND filters do not colour shift as you move from one density to the next, a common problem with other series of neutral density filters. Now you can set your white balance once and have the same colour balance even if you need to change filters due to changes in lighting, or for creative effect.

The PROND filters use Hoya’s exclusive clear optical glass that has a metallic ACCU-ND coating front and back to create the neutral density affect.

Neutral density filters are designed to reduce the amount of light entering your camera lens and should not have any other effect on the image. Reducing the amount of light allows for the use of wider apertures or slower shutter speeds for creative and dramatic effect in bright lighting conditions.

I have been after an ND filter for a while a friend lent me his Hoya ND to try out and I really enjoyed the effects it provided I have found very little colour caste with this filter and as I only shoot in RAW any slight colour shift is easily corrected.It fits very well into my Canon lenses and...

Usual Hoya quality with no observable image degredation and no colour casts identified. I will need to add a 6-stop ND as well since 10 can be too much for my intended use given the UK weather / light levels.

I love the anti reflection coating on the surface of the lens, and the quality of the product

Was searching for something with minimal color cast that could be used on different types of lenses including telephoto. For my photography needs, a square filter system was impractical. The Hoya really fit the bill for almost a year, but after that the filter started to degrade and became blotchy.

This is a sensible replacement for the Lee Big stopper

This 10 stop ND filter is perfect for getting long exposures during the day perfect for video too so you don't have to be at f/22 or jack up your shutter speed to 1/1000 when you're outside. Hoya made a great quality filter that I will continue to use and I will continue to purchase their products.

This filter has no color shift and is significantly sharper than the Tiffen Variable ND I own. The Tiffen softens the image unlike the Hoya ProND 1000. There is no shift in the color it is truly a Neutral density filter.
