Hoya YPND050058 58mm Pro ND 500 Neutral Density Filter

The Hoya Pro ND 500 58mm filter is built for photographers who want to push creative boundaries with extended exposures and wide apertures in conditions that would otherwise blow out a sensor. By cutting 9 full stops of light, this filter transforms a 1/500s exposure into a full one-second exposure, enabling silky smooth water, streaked clouds, and ghost-free crowd scenes in broad daylight. It also allows you to shoot with a wide-open aperture for shallow depth of field portraits outdoors without overexposing the image.

What sets the Hoya Pro ND 500 apart from budget alternatives is its ACCU-ND coating technology, which maintains truly neutral color transmission across the visible spectrum. Many lower-cost ND filters introduce a warm or magenta cast that requires post-processing correction, but the Hoya coating keeps whites white and colors accurate straight out of camera. The low-profile aluminum filter ring adds minimal bulk to your lens and is specifically designed to avoid vignetting on wider focal lengths. For landscape, architectural, and portrait photographers who regularly work in bright environments, this filter provides consistent, high-quality results.
