Colored Filters

Intensifier

Softon A

As their names suggests, these filters use HOYA colored glass. They are used for color correction of different light sources when using color film, or for controlling contrast with Black & White film. Color correction filters are important as color films do not have the flexibility of the human eye to automatically adjust to different situations. Black & White films register colors as shades of grey and the rendition of each color in a scene is important, so filters can be used to control this. The color of the glass used in all these filters is carefully controlled and to reduce the possibility of color shift over a period of time, such high quality filters are coated or multicoated on both sides. This maintains the desired effect and gives a long service life.

Creates a picture with a clear focus and a soft gradation. This effect is especially evident on an object with a point light source. A filter randomly arranging minute lens shaped like drops of water on the surface of a acrylic board scatters the light and results in a soft focus.

Correction

R72 / RM90

Warm

Used to correct the greenish tone that appears when daylight type film is used under fluorescent lighting. FL-W is for use with warm white or white type fluorescent lamps. It is recommended that auxiliary light sources be used when

Used for photography with infrared films. infrared film is also sensitive to ultraviolet rays and the shorter wavelengths of the visible spectrum so it is necessary to filter out all but the infrared rays. R72 passes only infrared rays above 720nm; RM90 passes only that above 900nm. Often used in crime detection, medical photography, detection of distribution of vegetation, etc.

These are light balancing filters used to decrease the color temperature slightly for a warmer (redder) tone. Corrects the tendency toward bluish tones. For example, the 81A should be selected when using tungsten Type B color film (3200°K) with photoflood lamps (3400°K) These filters can be used together.

Center Spot

Multi Vision

Fog Effect

A close-up lens with a hole in the center. The periphery of the picture is rendered a delicate, softfocus effect while the central image is sharply focused.

Available in five types: 3PF, 3F, 5F, 6F, and 6PF. Made of optical glass precisely cut into a variety of facets, MULTIVISION helps create exotic, fantastic compositions of color patterns and combinations.

Lightly veils the entire picture in white. Available in a set of two: FOG(A) and FOG(B). FOG(B) has a stronger effect than FOG(A). Both can be used together to produce an effect similar to dense fog. The effect can be varied by changing the aperture of the lens, but stopping down too far will reduce the effect.

Diffuser

Star-6

Softner A / B

A filter randomly arranging minute lens shaped like drops of water on the surface of a acrylic board. Scatters the light and results in a soft focus.

Creates a picture with a clear focus and a soft gradation, and this effect is especially evident with an object with a point light source. Both are diffusion type filters but DIFFUSER gives a soft-focus effect due to its irregularly uneven surface while DUTO has fine concentric lines etched on its surface.

The center of the picture is usually sharp with DUTO but DIFFUSER gives an overall soft-focus effect. Both are particularly effective in portraiture and commercial photography.

STAR-4 adds a dramatic four-cross flare to very bright areas, giving a soft-focus effect. Ideal for photographs of ladies wearing jewelry or other objects with strong reflections. STAR-6 (six-pointed light flares) and STAR-8 (eight-pointed star flares) can also be used for a variety of effects.

Cross Screen

Pop Filters

Variable Density 3-400

Available in a set of three color filters: blue, green and red. Used individually or in combination, extremely original color effects can be obtained. Also great for multi-exposure creativity.

The Hoya Variable Density filter uses two polarizing layers to control the amount of light that passes through the filter and into the camera lens. At it's minimum effect the filter passes 1/3 of the light in a scene. That is equal to 1.5 stops on the aperture or shutter speed. At it maximum effect the filter passes just 1/400 of the light in a scene. That is equal to 9 stops on the aperture or shutter speed.

NDx 2,4,8

Star-8

Cross Screen

In conditions of extreme light intensity, such as sunshine on snowy mountains or on the beach, or when using a camcorder, ND (Neutral Density) filters are recommended as essential.Neutral Density filters are often ignored by photographers, but they have several uses and offer the possibility to achieve otherwise unachievable results. ND filters appear gray and reduce the amount of light reaching the film, they have no affect on color balance.

Cross Screen adds a dramatic four-cross flare to very bright areas, giving a soft-focus effect. ldeal for photographs of ladies wearing jewellery or other objects with strong reflections.

STAR-4 adds a dramatic four-cross flare to very bright areas, giving a soft-focus effect. Ideal for photographs of ladies wearing jewelry or other objects with strong reflections. STAR-6 (six-pointed light flares) and STAR-8 (eight-pointed star flares) can also be used for a variety of effects.

Misty Filters

Diffuser Duto

Available in four types: Gradual, Breeze, Windmill and Halo. They heve a sharp central image with a pleasant blurring of the outer field. With Gradual, blurring that appears to emanate from the center. Breeze has an unidirectional streaky blurring of background. With Windmill, blurring that appears to swirl about the center, and with Holo, blur that appears to radiate from a single point at the edge of the field.

HOYA DUTO/DIFFUSER FILTER Both are diffusion type filters but DIFFUSER gives a soft-focus effect due to its irregularly uneven surface while DUTO has fine concentric lines etched on its surface. The center of the picture is usually sharp with DUTO but DIFFUSER gives an overall soft-focus effect. Both are particularly effective in portraiture and commercial photography
