Hoya launches new filters
The first of Hoya’s newest additions is the ProND filter kit, which includes ND8 (3EV), ND64 (6EV) and ND1000 (10EV) density filters in a folding, padded case. The filters are made from high-quality optical glass, coated front and back, reducing the light spectrum and creating a neutral colour balance. It’s possible to use two ProND filters together for even longer exposures. For example, ND8 and ND1000 combine to give a value of ND8000 (13EV). The Starscape light pollution filter shares the same construction as those in the ProND kit. The filter’s special optical glass filters out yellow and green light pollution, leaving users with more natural-looking images that require less post correction. Both the ProND kit and the Starscape light pollution filters will be available in sizes from 49mm to 82mm diameters, and will hit
Marumi pro grade DHG Super ND series is now complete with four densities recently being announced. The new models are SND8 (3EV), SND16 (4EV), SND32 (5EV) and SND64 (6ND). The NDs are available in sizes from 67mm to 105mm, with prices starting at £63.06 for a 67mm SND8 to £265.74 for a 105mm SND64. The four new filters are tested in this issue, so see First Tests towards the rear Marumi completes its ND range Unfortunately, we had a two- pronged attack of the gremlins in our last issue. In the Nikon Z 6 long term test we managed to say in the specification panel that the camera had in-body image stabilisation and that it didn’t. Of course, it does, and very effective it is, too, with up to a 5EV benefit. Also in issue 71, our Buyer’s Guide put the price of the Hahnel £1499. It should have been £249, and for that it’s a very capable and well priced flashgun, with a rechargeable battery for fast recharging and great capacity. We’re sorry to readers, Hahnel and Nikon for any inconvenience caused – and we’ll try to do better! Our apologies Modus 600RT Mark II in at a grossly and unfairly inflated of this issue. • kenro.co.uk
