Save ZAR 2,400.00The Story
The Hoya 58mm Variable ND Filter offers precise light control with a variable density range from NDx3 to NDx400, equivalent to 1.5 to 9 stops of light reduction. Its low-profile black almite frame minimizes vignetting on wide-angle lenses while reducing reflections, and the rotating inner ring allows smooth adjustment between minimum and maximum settings. This filter enables creative photography techniques like achieving shallow depth of field in bright conditions or capturing motion blur with slow shutter speeds.
