The Variable Density II line features multiple anti-reflective coatings on the glass surface to limit unwanted reflections and glare. The mount is thinner to reduce the risk of vignetting, while the outer diameter is slightly larger: for front protection, the manufacturer specifies an 86 mm cap. A small knob makes it easy to set the density level, without affecting other camera or camcorder settings.

The Hoya 82 mm variable ND filter allows for a wider aperture in bright light or longer exposure times to achieve motion blur effects. Those looking for an 82 mm variable grey filter will find in this series a tool for adapting exposure to changing light conditions.
