The 1.5 to 9-stop, 52mm Hoya Variable Density ND Filter 52mm 1.5-9 Stopminimizes the vignette effect often experienced when shooting with wide-angle lenses. In this updated version, Hoya improved the frame of the predecessor Variable Density filter, making it thinner for better handling of vignetting. The filter features a dedicated knob for precision rotation between an adjustable neutral density range of 1.5 to 9-stops). It also allows you to attach an optional lens cap. It supports lens caps that are one size larger than the filter size.

Q: 7. Does this have 82mm threads on the front to attach a lens hood?

A: This filter does not have front threads.

Q: 8. Is there a setting with no density: i.e., a completely clear setting?

A: The lowest density on that filter is 2 stop reduction of light.

Q: 9. Does the side lever interfere with a lens hood and if so, can it be removed from the filter?

A: A standard snap on hood Especially because the front is stepped up to avoid vignette) may not work with this filter but most threaded 82mm hoods should work with it.

Q: 10. Do the marks correspond to fixed stop values to allow calculating exposure settings?

A: The "Marks" correspond to approx 1/2 stops.
