The filter is well packaged and protected, the packaging is comes in is adequate to keep it in if you don't have anything better, although personally I prefer rigid plastic cases that are designed for storing filters in like the Nikon one I have in the picture. The filter itself is made from metal and glass unlike cheaper alternatives, and seems excellent quality. Its easy to screw on and off my lens and other filters.This is exactly what I needed, this enables me to make 30 second exposures in bright midday sun in a cloudless sky. I shoot in shutter priority mode with it, selecting the length of exposure I desire and letting the camera set the aperture. I shoot at a permanent ISO 100 unless its low light to minimise noise,which is important in long exposures. Most cameras have a dedicated long exposure noise reduction feature which is worth remembering to turn on before you do any.I also recommend setting your lens to manual focussing once you have focussed, as your camera will struggle to focus through the filter as it's so dark. It's also worth mentioning that a good technique is to set up your shot, compose, focus, switch to manual, cover your viewfinder and then put on the ND filter as with some cameras it's almost impossible to see what's going on the LCD with this filter on. On my Nikon, I find that if I switch to auto mode (no flash) and take a quick snap, the camera adjusts the LCD so that you can compose with the filter on, but I'm not sure if that would work with all cameras, and if your space is precious on your memory card, you don't want to waste shots every time you want to recompose.Before I purchased this I brought a cheap kit of Polaroid brand ND filters, they were terrible and left odd rainbow marks all over my images and really effected the sharpness of my images, even whilst using a tripod. They were terrible. This is perfect, leaves no funny marks on my images, casts little to no colour cast and is exactly what I needed. I have not found a situation where the 10 stop was too much, or too little. If you are only going to buy one ND filter, then this is the one to go for in my opinion.The only problem I had when I purchased this was that I was getting a funny pink rectangle cast on the centre of my images, which after some experimenting was light being leaked in through the viewfinder, so I do also recommend that you use the viewfinder cover that your camera comes with when using this on bright days. On darker days or in shaded areas it doesn't effect your images so much. That's a must in my opinion though, if you have lost your viewfinder cover, buy another when you buy this filter.I also recommend getting a shutter release cable. I also own a remote, but I will go for the cable 99% of the time as you can set focus lock with it, use bulb mode and lock it on without having to hold it on and it always works. There's no worrying about pointing it the right way, or batteries running out. Most cameras also have a self timer function which works just as well, although personally I find it annoying having to wait for it each time, it adds an extra 10-15 seconds onto a 30 second exposure and if your pushed for time, racing against weather, a setting sun or just impatient, it's much easier to get a shutter release cable. A shutter release cable is around £15 and a remote is around £20 at the time of writing. Well worth the money in my opinion. You will find yourself using them for much more than just long exposures. Tripod photography sometimes requires the use of an external shutter release as in certain shooting conditions the force of you pressing the shutter can wobble the camera and ruin a shot.I would recommend this to anyone, its great quality, a reasonable price and doesn't leave bad colour casts on your images. It's something that most photographers should carry in their kit bag, as you never know when you need it.

Used with the Nikon D800, Nikon 24-70/2.8 and Nikon 70-200/4 (with a step up ring) the Hoya Pro ND 1000 and Hoya Pro ND 64 filters work very well. They give sharp pictures with very good colour and no extra optical vignetting (ND filters from other brands do give optical vignetting because they consist of dark glass, while the Hoya Pro ND filters have a metal coating which gives an even light distribution).I measure the exposure and white balance with an UV filter on or without filter and then set exposure and white balance to manual (using WB presets) and compensate the exposure when the ND 1000 filter is mounted. The white balance needs a B4 compensation for this filter,so at least on my setup it gives a bit of warmth unless you correct it, but that is easily corrected in camera and the difference is consistent so that I can always use the same WB compensation (B4) after having measured the WB for a specific scene.I measure the exposure and white balance with an UV filter on or without filter and then set exposure and white balance to manual (using WB presets) and compensate the exposure when the ND 64 filter is mounted. The white balance consistently needs no compensation for this filter.Edit: I have noticed that in many cases AWB works fine with the Hoya Pro ND 1000 or Hoya Pro ND 64 filter mounted (also when mounted together). This means that it is usually enough to set the exposure manually while letting AWB set the WB.You can stack filters, which I do with the Hoya 77mm Pro ND 1000, Hoya 77mm Pro ND 64 and the B+W 702 77mm 25 Percent MRC Graduated Neutral Density filter. The same WB compensation is then achieved (i.e. the ND 1000 and ND 64 filters themselves are not affected with regards to WB, and so no additional compensation is needed as long as the other filters are neutral). I stack the ND 1000 and the ND 64 and if needed I stack the GND in front of the ND filter/s. Note that you do get mechanical vignetting from the stacking so that I can use 24 mm focal length with one filter, 28 mm with two filters and 35 mm with three filters with no visible vignetting from the filters.When it comes to cleaning, the Hoya Pro ND 1000 and Hoya Pro ND 64 are a bit more difficult to clean compared to the B+W MRC filters. It means that a microfiber cloth is normally the only thing you need, but if you put a finger print on the glass, you will need to use B+W filter cleaning solution to make it come off, which has not yet been the case for me with the B+W MRC filters.To sum it up the Hoya PRO ND filters are currently the best money can buy with excellent colour reproduction, without loss in sharpness and without vignetting. Highly recommended.

By no means, this is a full review. It is merely an initial impression of the product.So it is what it is. I actually bought this product from Choetech only because of that rubber stand that comes with the actual charger, because last time I bought one similar product from Aukey and although functionally I didn't experience any problem with that, that one was damaged quite soon due to quite a few drops on the floor from the table while somehow accidentally I pulled a cable too much that was attached to it and as that one had a plastic slippery body. Although this one from Choetech has the same material on the charger itself, the extra bottom rubber holder holds it quite well. But I miss one thing.

Having bought Hoya products in the past, I was hopeful this filter would be of a similar high quality and I haven't been disappointed. The filter certainly seems to cut out plenty of light (I haven't tested if it is the full 10 stops or not), and having taken some test shots there doesn't appear to be any loss in picture quality or any colour cast. The filter is easy to attach & remove and feels very well made as I've come to expect from Hoya products.My only small niggle is that if using this filter with another (such as a polarising filter), then at 16mm you do get a little bit of vignetting on the photo. When up to about 18mm this isn't a problem and obviously it's fine if it's the only screw-in filter being used.As for delivery,

A few years ago, I bought a B+W 10-stop filter in preparation for a landscape photography course I was due to attend. Every single image (used on a Canon 5D) had an awful purple colour cast, which kind of ruined my appetite for long exposure photography.I now have a Fuji X-T10 and decided to take the plunge with this Hoya 10-stop filter, in readiness for a coastal holiday. Having used it, I'm very impressed. The resulting images had no visible colour cast and were as sharp as if there'd been no filter in place. It's not especially cheap, but I suppose you get what you pay for. I purchased the 52mm version.

I've had this filter for over 2 months now and has become extremely useful these past few months, it has allowed me to get pictures I would have never been able to have created. It allows me to become creative with my shots, especially in day time when long exposures of 20sec would have never have been possible. It made my trip to the alps all the better, and continues to be a gem in my kit bag. It also works extremely well with my Panasonic GX7 M4/3 camera as in good light, it is still able to meter through it.

It is not as dark as I thought it would be so I bought an ND32 as well which I sometimes use together with it to make an equivalent ND8. For relatively long exposure silky smooth sea water shots even both these together are not enough where an ND500 (9 stop) would be more suitable enabling you to slow down from 1/125 time to 4s. It all depends on what you want to photograph as to what strength ND filter you want. One grade will not do everything so you either want more than one or a variable ND filter.

I read many reviews and watched technical test videos online before buying this filter. It may not be the fanciest or most expensive, but the tests showed that it's an accurate filter with no serious colour problems or vignetting, and in use I'm happy to confirm that this is a filter you won't have to worry will mess up your photos with weird colours. I'd only spend more to get a system that was easier to remove, like some of the ones that are magnetic, but they cost considerably more.

Excellent filter from Hoya. This filter is inexpensive, yet despite the modest price, produces excellent images with no degradation in image quality or colour casts. It has also proven to be robust and well made. I live near the coast and my filter is often splashed with water. I have cleaned it numerous times and the glass is still free of any marks or scratches.This is definitely a must buy for any photographer, affordable, produces excellent images and is well made.

I recently became interested in long-exposure photography and needed to get some basic gear including a couple of ND filters. I considered going square but in the end couldn't justify the cost and went with screw-on. There is no denying HOYA are major players when it comes to filters and so no worries there. I ordered a 10 stop and a 6 stop to match the largest diameter lens in my collection and step-up rings so these two filters can be used with all my lenses.

With something like video or photo, quality is so important so why cheap out on a lesser filter to save a few pound...HOYA is well known in the industry for its quality and this product does not let it down. I use this in all my videos and has been a great buy! One little tip is, do your research and find out how to get the best out of it to ensure you get no dark edges or vignetting.Check my youtube channel for how I use it!TW - Tim Williams Youtube

makes the differencefew shots today for the first time and didn't notice any colour changes =. recommend, although when got darker got same effect without filter. but for sunny places like here in Australia I recommended. will upload few test shots without editing . it was late and after sunset. I recommend fiddle with your aperture to get brighter. because some people complain about having shots too dark. very happy here

Over the last few years I have used several 10 stop ND filters.The Hoya is by far the best of them because there is no colour cast.Also the threading seems to find its way very easy (which helps in cold weather) and gives excellent results.If you love long exposures then this is the filter to use.Dont be misled by Tiffen filters as they are awful with both a colour cast and not an accurate timing for 10 stops.

Hobby photographer....have previously had cheap NDs that colour cast. This one is brilliant and with the help of one of the many available ND filter shutter calculator apps freely available I've had some good photos out of it. Absolutely no colour cast - also have dropped it in the dusty gravel and it didn't damage at all. Highly recommended as I cannot fault it - but bear in mind I'm not a professional.

I have two Hoya ProND filters. This was the first one I bought. They do what they are supposed to do. However, I find them hard to grip and have dropped them on occasion with the result that the coating on the glass has become marked. Having said that, this does not appear to have any effect on the photos as yet. Nor has this affected my opinion of Hoya ProND filters.
