HOYA 55mm PROND EX 1000 Filter

This 55mm neutral density filter reduces light by 10 stops for precise exposure control. It suits photographers and filmmakers who need longer shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright conditions. The filter uses ACCU-ND technology to maintain colour accuracy across visible and infrared light. It is built with a lightweight aluminium frame that includes front threads for stacking.

Practical limits of 10-stop density

A 10-stop reduction requires significantly longer exposures or wider apertures to compensate. Handheld shooting becomes impractical at typical ISO settings without image stabilisation. Very wide apertures may reduce depth of field more than intended for some compositions. Autofocus systems may struggle to acquire focus through the darkened glass in low-contrast scenes.

Check thread size and vignetting risk

Confirm your lens has a 55mm front thread before ordering. Wide-angle lenses may show vignetting when the filter frame adds thickness to the optical path. Stacking additional filters on the front threads increases this risk further. Ensure your camera’s metering can handle the exposure shift or be prepared to use manual mode.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 55mm PROND EX 1000 or a different density for 10-stop light reduction?

The PROND EX 1000 is the 10-stop model, giving a 3.0 density that cuts light by 10 stops; select this version when you need that exact reduction.

What does the 3.0 density actually do to my exposure settings in the field?

A 3.0 neutral density value reduces incoming light by 10 stops, letting you lengthen shutter speed or open the aperture by 10 stops without over-exposing the frame.

Does the 55mm thread size limit the filter stack or vignetting on wide lenses?

The 55mm front thread accepts additional filters or a cap, and the slim aluminium frame is designed to minimise vignetting even when stacking on wide-angle lenses.
