Product Highlights
- Multi-Coated (HMC)
- Glass
The Hoya 77mm Neutral Density (NDX8) 0.9 Filter has several uses and offers the possibility to achieve otherwise unachievable results. ND filters appear gray and reduce the amount of light reaching the film. They have no effect on color balance.
Multi-coated to minimize reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting.
Neutral Density filters have four main uses
- To enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with high speed films, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, or cars
- To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background
- To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situations
- To allow cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause overexposure
Neutral Density Factors
- 2x = ND.3 (exposure adjustment = 1 stop, reduces ISO 1/2)
- 4x = ND.6 (exposure adjustment = 2 stops, reduces ISO 1/4)
- 8x = ND.9 (exposure adjustment = 3 stops, reduces ISO 1/8)
- As one of the premier filter manufacturers, Hoya filters continue to made from quality glass assuring the photographer clear, sharp and accurate images
- Hoya filters consistently provide even color all the way through the filter; All surfaces are ground and polished to specific thickness and tolerances

Not much to say- I've had excellent results with the Hoya Multi-Coated in the past so I ponied up for this nice light cutter. No disappointment. Could you get by with a cheaper model? Sure. Throw it on your kit lens and fire away- your pictures will probably look the same as mine. But since I'm using pro lenses I guess I'm just a sucker for pro filters!
I saw no color casts or uneven tones with this unit when trying to blur some water.

I have been using HOYA filters for 2 decades and familiar with them. This one I just purchased is well made too and doesn't use clip-on spring anymore, but the rear glass surface is mono-coated while the front is HMC. I have compared with my other HOYA filters before drawing this conclusion. [...] Also, it has slight warm cast, not serious but noticeable.

Comments about Hoya 77mm Neutral Density (NDX8) 0.9 Filter:
Great filter. It brings down the exposure perfectly without ruining the image quality. It also feels pretty firm, especially for the price. I touch the filter sometimes when I take it off, and it leaves some fingerprints, but those can be easily cleaned off.

Comments about Hoya 77mm Neutral Density (NDX8) 0.9 Filter:
I use this 77mm 0.9 Neutral Density filter on my Rokinon 35mm f/1.4 in bright sun light. There's no vignetting even when used in conjunction with a UV filter attached. I'm happy with the quality & performance. Highly recommended if you want to shoot at wide aperture in bright environment.
