In considering the purchase of an extreme neutral density filter I was very concerned re. induced colour casts. Researching the forums on the Internet it was quite clear that the Hoya was best by far in this respect and I have not been disappointed!No issues on an infrared converted camera (EOS 20D) either

I uesd to take long exposure without ND filter and not satistied. When I ordered this filter with Adorama and tried it the first time the photos I made are very satisfactory. It is affordable, and durable. The only hard thing is you have to focus then attach the filter to get a sharp image.

I have used this filter to stop down the exposres in sea scape photograph. With great first time results. It was been very rewarding. The cost of the filter was reasonable compared to some. Having seen a number of photographs with the slow exposures achieved by these filters, I decided I wanted to try.

This is my second review and I am correcting the first one. It turned out that the red haze appearing on the image is cause by a light leak from the viewfinder. So I tried covering it with my black gloves. All images are shot at f/22. Those images with the silky smooth water flowing without the red haze are the ones wherein I covered the viewfinder. Thanks to a friend of mine who gave me the tip and heaven sent, genius extraordinaire Jim Ramsay!
I've used this product a couple of times at the beach. Was able to get a nice blurry effect of the water.The only thing you need to watch out for is to not touch the filter directly with your fingers because it will make it harder to remove the spot. The glass is very delicate and easily dirtied.
The density is enough to provide a really long exposure even in brighter conditions. This is excellent if you like a slow shutter on moving water. Double check your focusing with Live View. I also find that I need to double and sometimes triple the exposure time the meter comes up with (e.g. use 6 sec instead of 2 sec). My best results are at iso 100 to keep long exposure noise to a minimum.
The lense filter has a quality that extended by far my most optimistical expectations. Im now able to shoot long exposure shots, even in bright daylight, with very nice effects. I really think it is a "must have" item for every photographer.
I expected that any additional glass in front of my lens would degrade the image quality. but after a long hike and may waterfalls later I think this is one of the best things I ever bought. images have no detectable color cast or loss of sharpness and still max out the resolution of my 5D mkII sensor.The example photo was taken with Canon 28-70 f2.8L15 sec exposure f7.1 ISO100
Very useful filter - can really take long exposures. I found it's best to use manual exposure and rely on the histogram. In theory I think this is a 9 stop filter but it's best to bracket and / or use manual.NB. I did find it difficult to clean after water spashes on it !
First time I go out to use it, the metal washer, or fitting, or whatever it is called, that is in place to hold the glass in place, begins to unravel. How much did I spend on this filter? No, it shouldn't fail me the very first time I use it. Hoya definitely has a quality control issue--this has happened to other filters, but at least those other filters lasted a while before it started to happen. The only reason this product is receiving two stars instead of one is because, if the construction were sound, the glass element itself would perform perfectly. Hoya address your quality control issues.

Hoya 49mm NDx400 HMC Filter
Photographing solar eclipses and ultra-bright light sources can be extremely dangerous. This filter reduces light values by 9 stops to less than 1/500th of its original intensity and allows safe photography. It can also be used to achieve super slow shutter speeds in daylight to render moving subjects invisible, and will enable you to use slow shutter speeds, especially with high speed films, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, vehicles, etc. It will also decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background. And this filter allows you to decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) so it can be used outdoors in bright situations. Neutral Density filters have no effect on color balance, appear grey and reduce the amount of light reaching the film. Multi-coating minimizes reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare as well as ghosting.
