A range of 1 2/3 to 8 2/3 EV

HOYA Variable Density II uses two polarized glass elements. Rotating the front element changes their relative position and adjusts density from ND3 (1 2/3 stops, optical density 0.5) to ND400 (8 2/3 stops, density 2.6).

For photography and video

Variable density makes it easier to use slower shutter speeds, wider apertures or a consistent shutter speed for video in changing light. One filter can cover many everyday ND requirements.

Watch the extreme MAX setting

At maximum density and beyond the recommended range, the dark X-shaped cross-polarization pattern common to variable ND filters can appear. With very wide-angle lenses it may become visible earlier.

Best from 28 mm and longer

HOYA recommends focal lengths of 28 mm and longer on full frame for best results. The filter does not have front filter threads, so it is best removed and stored in its case when not in use.
