Hoya HMC ND8 Neutral Density Filter 77mm-P1790









The multi-coated version of the famous HOYA ND8!
Neutral Density filters are often ignored by photographers, but they have several uses and offer the possibility to achieve otherwise unachievable results. ND filters appear gray and reduce the amount of light reaching the film, yet they have no affect on color balance.

ND filters have four main uses:

• To enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with fast films, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, cars, seas etc.
• To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background.
• To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (ie: above ISO400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situations.
• To allow video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which would normally cause over-exposure.


Hoya HMC ND8

The Hoya HMC ND8 filter reduces the amount of light entering the lens so wider apertures can be selected, which is perfect for portraiture to reduce depth of field. Subject appears crisp and clear while the background becomes a soft blur. Also widely used for photographs of waterfalls and other nature scenes to emphasize movement.

The Hoya HMC ND8 filter will reduce light transmission by three stops.
