Hoya NDx400 Reviews

Okay for the money

It has color casts that are difficult to remove. The coatings are easy to smear. I've had two other Hoya filters for longer (ND8 and CPL) and don't suffer from these issues (or at least not at the same level).

Works great

It is worth of that price. No color correction needed.

Useful but not designed well

Best use is on sunny days where you want to slow down the shutter speed.

More than adequate

I shopped and read reviews on several brands of nd filters and decided on the Hoya brand. I had a Hoya polarizer for many years and it is still doing a great job. I have a heliopan as well which has a sturdier build but no discernible diff in my pictures. The nd filter provided several stops of reduced exposure with no color cast. It has a quality build. I hope it lasts like my other Hoya filter.

Perfecto

question

I've never had one of these filters; does this screw onto the end of my 24-70mm like my filter?
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes, the Hoya 77mm NDX400 HMC Filter screws onto the front of a lens, such as a 24-70mm or other lenses with a 77mm filter thread.

question

This filter with a variable degree of density or permanent?If a variable, the density begins with what?Thank you!Yuri
Asked by: Anonymous
This filter is not variable. It offers a constant 9 stops of light loss. It is generally used where exposures of a few seconds to a few minutes are desired.

The Hoya 77mm NDx400 HMC Filter has a 77mm front filter thread, so you could mount a 77mm on the front.

question

I have this filter already. Wondering if it can be used to photograph a solar eclipse safely (protect my Nikon D7100 sensor)? I have eclipse glasses for myself, just want to make sure that I protect my camera adequately. Thanks
Asked by: April S.
You will need a sun filter. Check with Edmund Scientific Co. in NJ if they still stock item. If not, check with other telescope manufacturers.

question

Hi, can this 9-stops ND filter be used on a 16mm full frame lens (and Full Frame DSLR)?Or it would deliver uneven exposure and/or coloration on long exposure shotting?Thank you!
Asked by: PABLO
Yes it works great. You will need to take off the uv filter first though to avoid vignetting
