72mm Variable Density II Filter

About this product

The Hoya 72mm Variable Density II Filter is a professional-grade, adjustable neutral density filter designed for photographers and videographers. It provides a variable ND range from 1.5 to 9 f-stops (ND3-400), allowing precise control over exposure without changing aperture or shutter speed. Its rotatable frame with a convenient knob enables smooth adjustments, ideal for creating motion blur effects in daylight, such as flowing water or moving vehicles. The filter helps achieve cinematic video results by maintaining proper shutter speed relative to frame rate, avoiding jarring motion artifacts. It reduces overexposure in bright conditions, even with wide apertures like f/1.4, and supports wider depth-of-field control. The design minimizes vignetting on wide-angle lenses, though caution is advised with APS-C lenses under 13mm and full-frame lenses under 24mm. It accepts lens caps one size larger than its 72mm diameter, enhancing convenience. Durable and easy to clean, it's built for consistent performance in demanding shooting environments.
