Once the filter is attached to your lens, simply rotate the filter ring between Min and Max to precisely control the amount of light entering the lens. With the Hoya Variable Density Filter, you can shoot a fast lens such as a 50mm f/1.4 wide open at f/1.4 in bright sunlight for an extremely shallow depth of field. You can also reduce shutter speed so it stays open for several seconds in full sun, making it ideal for creative motion blur in water, cars, people and more.

Made with high-quality optical glass from Hoya Corporation, the worldÕs largest optical glass manufacturer, this variable density filter is available in sizes from 52mm to 82mm.

For the best results when using slow shutter speeds, Hoya recommends shooting with a tripod.
