HGX PRIME

VARIABLE ND FILTER

HGX PRIME VARIABLE NEUTRAL DENSITY FILTER

Carefully selected optical glass, 36 layers of anti-reflective multi-coatings, and proprietary color-corrected polarizing films come together to achieve the clearest possible image. Each HGX Prime Variable ND filter is individually ground, polished, and coated. The Repellamax II anti-static barrier resists dust, dirt, oil, water, and fingerprints.

Provides 1.3 to 8 stops of light control by rotating its ring.
Mechanical "hard" stops at each end of the filter's density range prevent bypassing the minimum or maximum useable density.
Tactile Control Knob makes it easier to rotate the filter quickly and smoothly (removable).
Line on filter ring represent densities of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 stops with 1.3 and 8 stops being achieved at each end of the filter ring's range of travel (MIN and MAX positions).
"X" mark on the filter's ring indicates the density point at which cross polarization (X pattern) may begin when using wide-angle lenses (a phenomenon common to all VND filters).
Repellamax II coating protects against moisture, oil, dirt, and dust.
Color-corrected polarizing films (applied using a unique process).
Ultra-hardened glass with scratch resistant coating.
Made in Japan

VNDs help achieve the right exposures for your creative needs in many situations with just one filter!

HGX Prime VND filters provide an exposure reduction of 1.3 to 8 stops (ND 2.5-256 equivalent).
Useful for both still photography and videography, they darken the entire image evenly, allowing for slow shutter speeds and/or wider apertures.

Fast, precise adjustments

With bare hands in summer or gloves in winter, the Tactile Control Knob allows you to easily rotate to the desired density.
Easy, repeatable control over density settings

Filter ring is visually demarcated with white lines at each full density stop - from 1.3 (minimum) to 8 (maximum).
Avoid the danger zone

The X on the fiter ring shows you the cross-polarization Danger Zone - the point where you might start to see an X-shaped dark area in your image. All variable ND filters are pro to this phenomenon at higher densities.
