The Hoya 52mm Variable Density Filter offers adjustable light reduction from 1.5 to 9 stops, allowing you to control exposure and create stunning long-exposure effects. Using two polarizing layers, it seamlessly transitions from NDx3 to NDx400, enabling shallow depth of field in bright sunlight or silky smooth motion blur. Its low-profile frame prevents vignetting on wide-angle lenses, and the satin black Almite finish reduces reflections for optimal image quality.
