They allow filmmakers to match shutter speeds with frame-rates while maintaining depth-of-field control. For photographers, these filters enable longer exposures or shallower depth-of-field even in the brightest sunlight conditions.The 82mm HD MKII IRND 1000 Neutral Density 3.0 10-Stop Filter is housed in a new low-profile, lightweight, precision-milled aluminum frame. This innovative frame design prevents light leaks and bleeding around the filter, which can occur during long exposures. It also includes front filter threads, allowing you to attach additional filters or a protective lens cap.The HD MKII IRND series features an anti-reflection multi-coating that significantly reduces reflections caused by scattered light rays, a common issue during long exposures. A waterproof and oil repellent top-coat is applied for easy cleaning and maintenance, ensuring your filter stays in top condition.The choice of ND filters depends on your creative vision and the demands of the shooting situation. If a single ND filter doesn't meet your needs, you can combine filters to achieve the desired effect. For instance, combining the HD MKII IRND 64 with the HD MKII IRND 1000 will provide 16 stops of light reduction, allowing you to capture the surface of the sun without overexposure.
