Hoya 58mm Variable Density II

Hoya Variable Density II – A Comprehensive Description

The Hoya Variable Density II represents a high-grade variable neutral density filter, delivering an exposure decrease that could range from roughly 1.5 to as much as 9 stops. This cutting-edge model stands out with its improved handling, thanks to a rotating frame and a helpful button, exceeding the capabilities of its predecessor.

Offering density from 0.45 to 2.77, it darkens the entire image, aiding photographers in shooting with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than typically required. The variable density means the filter ring at the front can be rotated with ease, determining the additional exposure length necessary. By slowing down the exposure time or widening the aperture, you have more control over depth of field and the ability to translate movements more effectively.

• The filter is characterized by optical glass construction for maintaining high image clarity and is encased in a sleek aluminum profile ring.
• One of the unique structural features of this Hoya Variable Density II filter frame allows you to fit a larger-sized lens cap than the filter dimension itself. For this, you need to calculate one filter size more.
