HOYA Filter PROND EX 1000 72mm Neutral Density 3.0 10-Stop camera filter

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.
