The 1.5 to 9-stop, 55mm Hoya Variable Density II ND Filter minimizes the vignette effect often experienced when shooting with wide-angle lenses. In this updated version, Hoya improved the frame of the predecessor Variable Density filter, making it thinner for better handling of vignetting. The filter features a dedicated knob for precision rotation between an adjustable neutral density range of 1.5 to 9-stops). It also allows you to attach an optional lens cap. It supports lens caps that are one size larger than the filter size.

Hoya VDY-II Reviews
ND Filter
By Jay
Rated 5 out of 5

The Hoya ND filter works great however, it does not work easily on Sony 70-200 2.8 w/hood. If hood is on you have to remove filter to remove hood, thus a pain in the ‘aperture’ if you want to remove hood/turn around hood.

I used this filter on my zoom lens and captured lovely flowing water at a boneyard beach at sunrise. It is definitely a great tool for my photography
