Hasselblad ND8 62mm Filter

Hasselblad ND8 62mm Neutral Density Filter

Hasselblad engineered the Hasselblad ND8 Filter in the 62mm size to provide high-precision exposure control for its most compact XCD optics. First, this professional-grade filter reduces light intake by exactly three stops without shifting the natural colors of your scene. Furthermore, it allows you to use wider apertures or slower shutter speeds even in bright midday sunlight. As a result, photographers can achieve professional subject isolation and smooth motion blur while using portable lenses like the XCD 45P.

In addition, the filter utilizes elite optical materials to match the 100-megapixel resolving power of the X System. Specifically, Hasselblad uses SCHOTT B 270® glass featuring a double-sided ND coating for perfectly neutral results. Moreover, the anti-reflective (AR) coating prevents ghosting and preserves the high contrast necessary for world-class medium-format work. Ultimately, the specialized nanocoating provides a water and oil-resistant surface for reliable use in the field. Therefore, the Hasselblad ND8 Filter stands as an essential creative tool for travel and street photographers who demand total control over their image aesthetics.

Key Features & Highlights

• Precise 3-Stop Light Reduction: This filter provides the flexibility to slow your shutter speed or open your aperture significantly. Accordingly, you can capture silky water movement or maintain a shallow depth of field during bright outdoor shoots.

• True Neutral Color Performance: Hasselblad calibrated the ND coating to ensure zero color cast across the frame. Hence, your images maintain the full integrity of the Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) without any unwanted tinting.

• SCHOTT B 270® Optical Glass: Hasselblad selects this world-renowned glass to ensure zero degradation of your lens’s resolving power. Furthermore, your 100MP captures remain tack-sharp from the center to the edges.

• Advanced Multi-Layer AR Coating: This treatment reduces internal reflections and flare in high-contrast lighting. Consequently, you achieve deep blacks and rich tonal gradations even when shooting in backlit or complex lighting environments.

• Hydrophobic Nanocoating: The top layer repels water, dust, and fingerprints effortlessly. Meanwhile, this makes the filter incredibly easy to maintain while shooting in humid forests, coastal spray, or urban environments.

• Ultra-Slim 5.5mm Profile: The lightweight 13g frame sits just 3.0mm outside the lens barrel when mounted. As a result, you can use it on compact lenses like the XCD 4/45P without fear of dark corners or vignetting.

• Precision-Machined Threads: The aluminum-magnesium alloy housing ensures a smooth, non-binding fit for quick lens changes. Specifically, this 62mm filter pairs perfectly with Hasselblad’s most portable Prime lenses.

• Shockproof Storage Case Included: Hasselblad provides a dedicated case to protect your filter during travel. Therefore, you can safely transport the Hasselblad ND8 Filter as a permanent, lightweight part of your professional street photography kit.
