Review of Hoya ProND1000 Neutral density filter:- Hoya ProND1000 is a 10 stop filter. I measure 10.3 stops in the green channel- Hoya ProND1000 is *extremely* color-neutral: A very small red cast is measurable, but not visually obvious (more below).- No discernible Infra-Red leakage / IR pollution.- Typical, decent quality aluminium frame.- Good price for performance.Safety: This is NOT a filter for photographing the sun.==========================================- If you want to photograph the sun, use only a filter designed and certified for photographing the sun.- Solar filters have heavy IR and UV reduction, as well as high attenuation of visible light,to prevent damage to eyes or equipment.- Contact your local astronomy society, or university astronomy department for advice.Colour:======I've attached images of a ColorChecker chart, with:1) Hoya ProND1000 filter2) No filter3) SRB ND1000 filter- These were all taken with a fixed "UniWB" white balance, which gives all images a strong green cast (the point of this weird white balance is to make it easier to check RAW exposure).- The filtered images were taken at 6", f/4. The unfiltered image was taken at 1/200 ", f/4.- The loss of focus in the filtered images is down to my sloppy technique with an extending zoom lens, the short object distance to the colour chart (~0.6m), and the wide-ish aperture (f/4). The lack of sharpness should not be attributed to the filters.The Hoya ProND 1000 is very neutral. Under Halogen lighting, I measure a very small red cast: Red up by 1.5%; Blue down by 0.25% (relative to green). The measured cast varies a little with lighting. If you are worried about this level of color cast, you should also be worrying about the color casts introduced by changing lenses. These shifts were measured on Nikon D7200 using RAW - i.e. linear light - data extracted using RawDigger.In comparison, It's quite clear that the SRB ND1000 has a blue cast. On the Nikon D7200 I used, Blue is up by about +20%, Red is down by about 30%. But the color shifts are fairly even across the different patches, so white balancing, either by setting a custom WB in the camera with the filter attached, or by adjusting the color temperature in RAW processing. The SRB has just a little difficulty with the lime-green patch on the third row, which is (relative to other patches) shifted slightly to yellow.The colour shifts quoted were measured under halogen lighting. I get similar results under high-quality (CRI Ra 98; CQS 95) LED lighting [Philips ExpertColor 4000K].Construction:=============Decent aluminium construction. Brass, with a knurled ring for better grip would be ideal (Like Breakthrough Technology X4 filters).Sharpness & visual artefacts:=============================I have seen images ProND1000 images with halo artefacts perhaps related to reflections between sensor and filter. On Nikon D7200, I haven't been able to reproduce such artefacts: I've tried photographing lights, shining a torch at the filter out of frame.I've also seen reports of sharpness problems with the Hoya. But pixel-peeking with and without the filter shows *I*'m getting very sharp images, with no significant loss of detail, even inspecting images at 200%.I'm not aware of vignetting problems, except with Nikon 10-24 at 10mm at the extreme (<100 pixels) frame corners, which are down ~1/3 EV - seems like filter ring shading.I'm mostly using the Hoya with Nikon D7200 and Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 OS, at near 50mm and f/5-f/8.Usage:=====- Autofocus may - or may not - be possible with a 10-stop filter fitted to your camera, depending on your camera, and available light. Some experimentation with live-view autofocus, and, for DSLRs, with TTL phase-detect auto-focus, is required. TTL phase-detect auto-focus may work well, but the problem is it may be hard-to-impossible to see what you are focussing on, because of the dark viewfinder relative to your environment.- A typical technique is to focus the camera without the filter, either manually, or with autofocus, and then attach the filter. Some care is required, particularly with extending zoom lenses, not to upset focus. Plate filters in a filter holder are better in this respect. There is a small focus shift on adding a filter, but negligible except for macro photography: the focus point will shift away from the camera by roughly 1/3 of the thickness of the filter glass - typically less than 1mm.- Possible difficulties in focussing suggest the use of small (ish) apertures to ensure adequate sharpness: say f/11 (full-frame); f/8 (APS-C); f/5.6 (Four Thirds). Significantly smaller apertures (higher f-numbers) will cause a loss of sharpness due to diffraction.- On SLRs, use the viewfinder blanking plate to prevent stray light entering the camera via the viewfinder. With a 10-stop filter, not much stray light needs to enter the camera to ruin a photograph. If you've lost the one that came with your camera, inexpensive 3rd-party replacements are available for popular camera models. On some camera models, you may get away without the blanking plate. I have tried and failed to provoke my D7200 to misbehave when using a 10-stop filter - for example by shining a 1.5W single-LED torch into the viewfinder.- Fitting *any* filter increases the likelihood of ghosting and flaring: Use a lens hood or matte-box to shade the filter and lens from stray light.Alternatives:=============SRB ND1000: Moderate, correctable, blue cast; similar construction; half the price (roughly).Breakthrough Technology X4 Neutral Density 3.0: [I haven't tried this] Fairly neutral; low vignetting; Excellent construction; double the price (at least).

Recently taken delivery of this. On a 700d crop sensor camera I can use the filter on a 77mm thread canon 24-70 and (with a 77-67mm adapter ring) a 67mm thread canon 10-18mm stm lens without any vignetting / obstruction at all. I'm sure other lenses will be the same. The ability to use the filter with the 10-18mm stm lens really surprised me as 67mm filters screwed direct to the lens are visible in shot at the 10mm end and vignette to varying degrees at the narrower angles.I've had a good look at the images today and the shift in colour balance (when using Auto White Balance) is minimal to negligible (in the conditions the camera appeared to render slight inconsistent /different results in AWB mode whether the filter was fitted or not and so this may have been due to the camera and conditions). When selecting the White Balance either on a custom or one of the presets (I used Cloudy and direct sunlight) the difference in colour shift with / without the filter was negligible if noticeable at all. This was backed up by the camera's RGB histograms when reviewing the images.Also, reviewing the images at 100% zoom there was neglible, if any, change in sharpness in the images with / without the filter that I could see.In the conditions tested I would say use of the filter resulted in a difference of between 11 to 12 stops according to my 700d depending upon the composition of each shot.I still have concerns over the longevity of the surface treatment on the lens given other reviews I've read however for now I'm going to give it five stars. Having used other ND filters of varying qualities I'm v. happy with this thus far and would recommend buying it.

I have bought the Hoya 49mm Pro ND 1000 filter.It is just great for my Sony a7 camera and Zeiss 35mm f/2.8 lens. Hoya produces the best value for money ND filters. The ND 1000 is the darkest neutral density filter for 49 mm filter thread. It's ideal for long exposure shooting. Like in the case of creating light rays from car lamps during night. Or vanishing people and cars from photos during daylight by using 30 seconds long exposure.It is isn't truly neutral density. It changes a little the colors. Not big issue for amateurs like me. That is unavoidable with affordable ND filters. It isn't a professional ND filter as its name suggests. Professional ND filters costs at least five times more.For its money it's great thought.The reflections are truly negligible. Very good anti reflecting coating. This something I like with all Hoya filters. I have problems to clean the filter with my lenspen. I don't know why. The box of the filter could be better. It is heavier than the filter, it doesn't close safely.I combine the filter with another Infrared filter and shoot directly the sun with telephoto lens for sun spots.

Bought this filter for landscape photography for long exposures of moving water. Allows for slower shutter speed to capture movement, say in a situation where normally you would need a shutter speed of a 60th of a second this filter would allow you to open the shutter for a full second. Obviously you need a tripod or solid surface to place camera on also to prevent blurring of image.Also would allow you to use a larger aperture and get a shallower depth of fieldThe digital multi-coating is supposed to reduce the appearance of lens flare and ghosting.I find this is enough to capture the movement and when taking photos at sunset when light levels were lower I was able to open the shutter for 45 seconds or so using this filter.In bright midday daylight however it's not quite strong enough for that and if you want really long exposure times in bright light I would suggest getting a stronger filter.However as a multipurpose filter this one is perfect and can be used in a variety of situations, ideal if you don't want to go shelling out for a full range of filters

First ND filter that I ever bought and I'm glad I did. Gives lovely results and is cheaper than the 100x100mm square filters.PROS- Relatively good value for money- Good quality- Case that it comes in does a good job of protecting the filter and is nice and small.CONS- It is quite wide and although it can be used with other filters I have experienced some vignetting when stacking up.- Not great if you want to use it with lots of different lenses with different filter thread diametersAll in all I would recommend buying this if you are just starting out with long exposures and don't think you'll be using many other filters.If you think you are going to be using ND grads and polarisers I would consider looking at the likes of NiSi's or Formatt Hi-Techs square filter systems.

This is an excellent product, its very well made. It doesn't seem to affect sharpness, but its benefits in allowing longer exposures in bright light and ultra long exposures at say, just after the sun has dipped below the horizon, are fantastic. If you use a ND Grad set up with an adapter and holder, I'd not recommend it, rather get a slide in ND filter that is compatible with your filter holder. The filter is rather thick so it means your ND Grad kit sits quite far forward which means the filter holder can intrude into the edges of the image, depending on how wide your lens is.The image attached is a 5 minute exposure using this ND 1000 filter.

Although more expensive than the ND filters that seem such very good value for money, the Hoya 52mm Pro ND 1000 is superb. I have tried the lower priced alternatives and have suffered from colourising and the dreaded black cross that these filters give you when taking long exposures. The Hoya has none of these disappointing cons and I am very pleased with it and would recommend it to those looking to obtain a very reliable "stopper" for your bright-light long exposures.Tip - use it in experimental excercises in varying degrees of light, with small apetures to get to know the exposure times needed to get good images.

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 bought this for using with my Fujifilm X100F. I find that an ND 64 is a good filter for landscape, And coupled with the cameras internal ND, would be enough to allow me some slower shutter speeds and also to cope with bright conditions and allow more creative use of depth of field.I've got a few Hoya's that I use with my other cameras, as well as Gobe and a Lee filters. Hoya's are well made and the only issue I've had is they can be quite easy to scratch.I've always been happy with the results using Hoya, and in my 25 years of photography I've only had one Hoya I didn't like, so it's a brand I trust.

I tend to buy B+W filters as the cameras I own generally have high end lenses and I don't think it's sensible to skimp on the quality of glass you put in front of those lenses. That said, an ND filter of this type for me is for an occasional bit of long exposure fun so I thought I would go with a slightly more affordable filter as I will only use it occasionally for non-professional reasons.That said, the few pictures i've taken with it have been impressive and for no reason that I can think of do I feel that it's a hinderance in any way. It's well made and the image quality is excellent.

Very good ND filter, use the Lee big stopper and purchased this for use with my X100T and to be honest the colour cast on this is more neutral. Was interested to see a one star review stating never got a good image from this, bad workman always blames the tool maybe it would have been for the best if the camera went in the waterfall. Been a working pro for a long time and this is fab if you take the time to learn the workflow needed to use these very dark filters also I recommend shooting raw with this type of photography.

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.

Fantastic! This filter is worth the extra money to ensure no colour cast or abboration. Bought this as well as a couple ND filters to replace the square filters I had. Unfortunately the ND1000 square filter I had gave me a reflection of the lens in all my images and so they were ruined! I didn’t cheap out either, they were Cokin filters so very disappointed. I would absolutely recommend these filters. Hoya is a quality brand with consistency throughout all of their products.

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.

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
