The 77mm 77mm Pro 1 Digital Neutral Density 64x Filter from Hoya is an ultra thin filter that permits you to shoot and create images that would not ordinarily be possible to capture. This filter effectively reduces your ISO by 1/64 (6 stops).This means that a shot normally taken at 1/500 sec @ f/11 can be shot at f/11 at 1/8th second. Designed with the outdoor shooter in mind, this filter helps reduce the amount of light entering the lens. This translates into the use of wider apertures and, thereby, permits the photographer to have more control over his depth of field. This is especially useful when shooting outdoor portraits when you wish to establish more of a separation between subject and background. The result will be a sharp, clear subject with a soft background. The ultimate value of this filter is its ability to allow you to use high speed ISOs under bright light conditions.
This effect can be used to create even more exciting images such as the "whooshing" effect of a mountain stream or the chaos of city traffic where one car appears to blend into the other. The operative effect is to enhance movement within the shot.
In order to provide the photo industry with a better made filter, Hoya created their multi-coated line of filters. These filters have a minimum of 3-layer coating system (front and back) that minimizes reflections off the filter's glass with the average being about 1-2%. In other words, Hoya states that approximately 98-99% of the light striking the filter will pass through the glass, and depending on the type of filter, into the camera lens and onto the film or digital sensor. During the manufacturing process these layers of anti-reflective coating are bonded to the surface of the glass in a furnace at a temperature of up to 800°F.
The almite filter ring is special manufactured to withstand the effects of corrosion. Hoya prefers to use aluminum filter rings since they believe that aluminum will "give" a bit if your lens accidentally bangs into another object and not, as with brass rings, remain completely rigid and transfer the brunt of the impact to the optic itself. The ring itself is knurled to make it easier to install and remove the filter from your lens - a clever innovation. As an added benefit, the plastic storage case that the filter is packed in has been UV protected. This will help extend the life of the filter.
Hoya optical glass has been around since 1941 and is world recognized for its superiority in the fields of not only photography but advanced optics such as electro-optics, photonics, vision care, health care and crystal products.
- Digital Multi-Coated
- Digital multi-coating greatly reduces the appearance of lens flare and ghosting caused by reflections
- Black Almite Frame
- Filter features a black matte aluminum satin finish almite frame which reduces reflections. The almite frame is manufactured to minimize any corrosion
- Black Rimmed Glass
- This filter is equipped with black rimmed glass to reduce the chance of light reflecting off the edge
- Low Profile Frame
- Ultra thin filter frame to help avoid vignetting on super wide angle lenses are also designed to hold a lens cap
- Knurling Edge Frame
- This filter is equipped with a straight knurling edge for non-slip, easy attachment and removal
- UV Protected Case
- Filter case is UV protected to further lengthen the life of the filter
Neutral Density Filters Have Four Main Uses
- To enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with high speed ISOs, 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 ISOs (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situation
- 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

I have a 72mm Hoya 6 stop ND filter for my 16-50 but this 77mm is for my 11-16 and 70-200. I was apprehensive about using it on the UWA and still in the process of verifying which situations it works and where it doesn't.

Comments about Hoya 77mm Pro 1 Digital Neutral Density 64x Filter (6 stops):
This is great for getting that long exposure in day light. Great for those milky soft waterfalls and other long exposure effects. I bought it to shoot waterfalls and it worked great. I did not find any color change from using the filter in my shots.

Comments about Hoya 77mm Pro 1 Digital Neutral Density 64x Filter (6 stops):
Great filter for the money. I saw some cheaper ones but I didn't want to risk getting something that would be a waste of money. I dont get much use out of this but when I do use it I want the quality to be good. So far I see its been solidly built and doesnt destroy image quality like some cheaper brands. Would buy again I just wish I could get more use out of it

Survived a 20-foot fall into a river. The river's not very deep so I waded into the water further down where there wasn't concrete sidewalls retrieved it. Not a single scratch on it. No cracks, no damage to the rim or the coating. The problem was the stepping ring not screwing in properly. I used it with a 77mm lens and it screwed in really well.
Takes great waterfall photos too.
