72mm Neutral Density Filter for Creative Exposure
The HOYA PROND EX 1000 is a 72mm neutral density filter that reduces incoming light by 10 stops, providing a density value of 3.0. It is designed for photographers and filmmakers who need precise exposure control in bright conditions, enabling longer shutter speeds or wider apertures without overexposure. The filter suits both still and video workflows where consistent light reduction is essential.
For Users Who Need Accurate Colour Rendition
This filter suits creators who require reliable colour accuracy because its ACCU-ND technology balances visible and infrared light reduction to prevent colour shift. It is not for buyers who only need a basic light reduction without concern for infrared contamination, nor for those who want a variable density filter instead of a fixed 10-stop strength. Users seeking a different filter thread size should look at other diameters.
Simple Thread-On Installation on 72mm Lenses
Installation is straightforward: screw the filter onto any lens with a 72mm front thread until it seats firmly. The main issue that arises is vignetting when stacking this filter with other filters or using it on ultra-wide-angle lenses, so test the combination before critical shoots. Ensure the threads are clean to avoid cross-threading, and store the filter in its case to protect the coatings from scratches.

Questions about this item
What thread size must my lens have to mount this 72mm filter?
The filter has a 72mm front thread, so your lens needs a matching 72mm filter thread or a step-up ring to 72mm.
Will the 10-stop density work with my older manual-focus lenses?
Yes, the neutral density effect is optical and independent of lens electronics, so it works with any lens that accepts a 72mm filter.
How can I verify the ACCU-ND technology is preventing colour shift after fitting the filter?
Shoot a grey-card or white-balance target with and without the filter at identical settings; the images should show neutral grey with no magenta or green cast.
