HOYA Variable ND II 58mm
The HOYA Variable Neutral Density II is a 58mm filter that replaces multiple fixed ND filters with a single rotating element. It suits photographers and videographers who need adjustable light reduction for wide apertures or motion effects in changing conditions.
Replaces fixed ND sets
One filter covers the range from ND3 to ND400, removing the need to carry and swap three or four individual filters. The jump is worth it when you shoot video or stills in bright light and want to keep a wide aperture such as f1.2 without changing filters between shots.
Variable ND practical limits
Rotating beyond the marked density range produces a visible cross pattern in the image, so the usable range stops at the frame markers. The thin frame reduces vignetting on wide-angle lenses, but the oversized front thread means a 62mm lens cap is required and is not supplied.

Questions about this item
What lens-cap size fits the 58 mm Variable Neutral Density II filter?
The frame construction requires a 62 mm lens cap, one size larger than the 58 mm filter threads.
How is the density adjusted and what indicates the usable range?
Rotate the dedicated outer-frame knob; density guide markers on the frame show the ND3 to ND400 range, and a cross X pattern appears if you turn past the minimum or maximum setting.
What regular care does the filter need?
Clean the glass surfaces with a microfibre cloth and store the filter in its case; the larger 62 mm cap must be sourced separately because one is not supplied.
