Worth every single penny!!!

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2023

This is FANTASTIC glass!!! I purchased it for use with my Nikon f2.8 lens. Wow. The glass is just superior. Period. Beautiful optics, no flaring or introduced chromatic aberrations. And the resulting image is sharp as a tack. I actually use the Lee “Big Stoppwr” app on my iPhone to calculate the exposure time, and even though it’s meant for Lee filters, exposure times were almost spot on. I love the fact that the glass is durable. Also, the ring is metal so is durable as well - ruggedly built and the quality is certainly professional quality. It’s on the spendy side.. but if you have a lens with good glass, why ruin it with a cheap filter. Worth every penny!

Truly the only downside is that it’s a screw in ND filter so you have to be very careful not to move the camera after composing, but honestly I can’t complain as that’s more due to the fact I have large hands. With landscape photography. I absolutely love the filter and it will be used for years to come!

Must use non isopropyl lens cleaner in any hope to clean the lens. Case is flimsy too.

Excellent sharpness, great color tone

Size: 77mmStyle: ND 64Verified Purchase

We took photos of several different scenes to test sharpness and color balance. We noticed no issue with sharpness, and only minor color shifting, which was easily adjusted. The Hoya Pro ND 64 filter appears to be a bit darker than 6 stops, but needed an adjustment of just +0.1 to match the baseline no-filter version. On shots including a whi-bal card, we used Lightroom to sample the card for white balance. The adjusted Hoya Pro ND filter photo was at temperature 5,500 vs. adjusted baseline shot at 5,300; tint was the same.

We also took the same shots with a Breakthrough X4 6-stop ND filter. It performed well, but we thought the Hoya Pro ND 64 produced slightly better results.

Tech details: Canon R6 Mark II mirrorless camera, RAW format, 24-105 f/4 L lens at 24mm, 50mm, and 105mm. Shot at ISO 100 in bright sunlight, white balance set at "daylight," on tripod. Aperture f/8 to f/16. Speeds ranging from 0.6" to 1/12 with filter, 1/320 and 1/400 without filter.

There seems to be a lot of misinformation out there regarding this 10-stop ND filter. For all of you who are worried about color casts, ghosting, and/or unsharp images you're worrying for nothing. I recently took this on a trip to Yellowstone and Glacier National park and all of my images have none of the above problems. You can see for yourself in the photos I've submitted. Great investment!

I am a newbie in photography. I just comment about what I see. First, this hoya's filter is solid build. Fit my canon rf 24-105mm perfectly even after put lense hood on. Just mention that be careful when clean the filter, you better clean it with micro fiber and cleaning liquid. The coat is easy to be scratched. I baby this filter that way "^_^

Don't spend more

The trick with the Hoya filters is just make sure that you are getting the ones made in Japan. No color casts and crystal clear image quality. Can't see spending double the price on some of the more expensive ones. Maybe if money was no object I'd go with those magnetic ones from another maker but way out of my price range. I had a hard time figuring out which ND to get for long exposure shooting. To make a long story short, this ND64 can be used for long exposure at dawn or dusk and on cloudy days. If you use it in conjunction with a polarizer, which will also reduce you by 2 stops, you can use it even in slightly brighter conditions. After a lot of research it seems that you really can have all of your bases covered with a polarizer, ND64 and an ND1000. For long exposures on a bright day, you will need the ND1000 as well. Hope this helps!

Bought this for my Nikon Z6 with kit lens. Seems to be working fine. I could't tell any unevenness or color change, so that's good enough for me

so the camera better be on a sturdy tripod

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2014

Size: 67mmStyle: ND 32Verified Purchase

This filter works as it is supposed to: more or less 9 stops decrease in exposure. I give it 4, not 5 stars because it can cause strange color patterns on the image, but most photos did not have them. It is dark (gee, what do you expect?), so the camera better be on a sturdy tripod. Best results were obtained by composing the photo, then setting the lens to manual focus so that screwing the filter on will not risk changing the focus, and then shooting. And then checking the shot for correct exposure. Since I used it to get dreamily flowing water, adding 9 stops to my camera's exposure did not always work. I had to manually (or use exposure compensation) tweak the exposure. I did screw it on top of a polarizing filter and (happily) it easily came off again. If you are reading this review I am certain you know this is a limited use item, but it does the job.
