| "Hoya 46mm HMC Yellow/Green (X0) Filter" |
| "HMC (HOYA MULTI COATED) This range of popular filters are renowned for their ability to minimise reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting. The result is an average light transmission of over 97%, giving sharp contrast and well balanced colour. HOYA HMC filters are recommended for enhancing the performance of today's multicoated lenses. Why use the Hoya Yellow/Green (X0) Hoya? • It is suited to landscape photography because it enhances the light green colour of the leaves • Its Excellent for correcting skin tones, bringing out facial expressions in close-ups and emphasizing the feeling of liveliness. • The XO is highly effective for outdoor portraits because red is rendered dark while green appears lighter • It is suitable for portraits against the sky because of the favourable effect it has on red tone • The X1 is highly effective for indoor portraits under tungsten lighting. • Used primarily for black and white photography. • Darkens sky in contrast to clouds • Universal asset for all scenery This glass filter has a similar effect to the medium yellow filter, however it darkens red colours so more contrast is gained from clouds in the sky. The yellow-green filter makes portraits more dramatic and accentuates the delicate springtime green in nature. With this filter a red roof or red flowers can appear rendered darker in relation to plant greens. This would not be the case with a purely yellow filter. For Colour Film: The filters below are primarily designed for use with Black & White film. However, they can be used with colour film to produce special colour effects. Filters: • K2 (Yellow) • G (Orange) • 25A (Red) • X0 (Yellow/green) • X1 (Green) This filter has been designed to fit all lenses with a 46mm thread size.

| "Hoya 77mm Variable Density x3-400 Filter" |
| "For both still photography and video use, the Hoya 77mm Variable Density x3-400 Filter makes it easy to adjust the brightness of a scene as well as gives more control over the exposure settings of your camera. By rotating the inner filter ring, the filter decreases light transmittance between approximately 1/3 and 1/400th of its original level. This permits aperture values to be set dependant on the desired effect and allows a much greater range of shutter speed. For example, in full sunlight crowds of people or water can be blurred using a long shutter speed. Depending on the situation the practical exposure range and light transmittance will vary. Main Features Include: • Filter Factor NDx3-NDx400 • Approx. 1.5 to 8.5 stops light reduction. • Black Almite Frame with satin finish to reduce reflections. • Low Profile Frame – avoids vignetting on super wide-angle lenses, will accept a clip-cap. • Rotating inner filter ring with scale indicating max. through to min. settings The Hoya Variable Neutral Density Filter provides a convenient way to maintain exposure control by being able to vary the amount of light entering the camera by 1.5 to 9 stops (0.45 to 2.7 density for Cine use). The precision built-in double ring design allows the outer ring rotates to control amount of neutral density effect anywhere within the 1.5 – 9 stop range. This double-ring design is also thin to reduce the likelihood of vignetting with wide-angle lenses. This control allows for many special effects such as being able to control depth of field by using a wider aperture or create or control motion blur by being able to choose just the right slower shutter speeds for perfect blurring. The HOYA Variable Neutral Density filter can take the place of a range of graded ND filters which saves money by only needing to buy one filter and saves time on location or on set by not needing to change filters constantly to change the effect, just turn the right to get the effect you want. The HOYA Variable Neutral Density filter puts you in control. This is an especially useful tool when creating motion blur in moving water such as waterfalls, rivers and crashing waves. Other examples of good times to use very slow shutter speeds to create blur are; moving vehicles, trains, cars and congested city traffic; blurred panning effects where the subject, a runner, bicyclist or car is clear but the background around it is blurred from the camera following its movement Variable Neutral Density filters, and ND filters in general have these main uses: • Slow down shutter speed for motion blurring effects like waterfalls, cars or blurred panning movement to make the subject stand out from the background. • Allow wider apertures to be used to decrease depth-of-field, literally focusing more attention on the subject. • Allow higher ISO films to be used in brighter lighting conditions • Allow cine/video cameras, which have a fixed shutter-speed range, to film on brighter lighting conditions such as the beach or in snow on a sunny day. The Hoya Variable Density filter uses high-quality optical glass from Hoya Corporation, the world’s largest optical glass manufacturer and is available in sizes 52mm to 82mm. For best results Hoya recommends using a tripod when photographing with slow shutter speeds. Notes: The practical exposure range and light transmittance will vary depending on the situation. When using the filter near or at MIN a cross-like dark pattern will appear across the image and cannot be eliminated. This is a property of the filter and all variable ND filters Variable 0.45-2.7 Neutral Density Filter Reduce Exposure by 1.5-9 Stops Darkens Entire Image Greater Control Over Exposure Settings Allows Wider Aperture This filter has been produced to fit all lenses with a 77mm thread size. Check the end of your lens to verify the required size."

| "Hoya 46mm Linear Polarising Filter" |
| "Light rays which are reflected by any surface become polarised and polarising filters are used to select which light rays enter your camara lens. PL (Linear Polarising) and PL-CIR (Circular Polarising) filters have the same effect, but it is important that you choose the correct version for your camera. They allows you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also enable colors to become more saturated and appear clearer, with better contrast. This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. HOYA's polarising filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot. How to select the correct Polarising filter: Many of today's cameras use semi-silvered mirrors or prisms to split the light entering the viewfinder in order to calculate exposure and focusing distance.

| "Hoya 52mm UV & IR Cut Filter" |
| "The Hoya 52mm UV and IR Cut Filter allows only the visible spectrum of light rays to enter the camera and get captured by the sensor. It does this when the lens filter is attached to your lens. Both higher frequency ultraviolet rays and lower frequency infrared light rays are blocked out by using the UV and IR Cut Filter. the CCD and CMOS sensors found in our cameras are extremely susceptible to catching UV and IR rays, there just outside the visible spectrum and have a very negative impact on image quality. This filter is used on a digital camera and the video, which do not have an IR protection filter toward an image sensor or were remodelled. This is important because unfiltered CCD and CMOS sensors are extremely susceptible to UV and IR rays just outside the visible spectrum that can have a very negative impact on image quality. The Hoya UV & IR light transmission curve shows the sharp-cut nature of the filter glass and coatings as well as the consistent light transmission in the visible spectrum. This curve demonstrates a more even visible light transmission than the closest competitor. This means that sharper images with more depth and finer, richer colour gradations are possible with the Hoya UV & IR Cut filter. The effect of the filter is achieved mainly though the multi-layer coatings on the surface of the filter. Hoya begins with crystal clear, colourless optical glass and then bonds coating to this filter that block both UV and IR light rays outside of the range mentioned. There is light incidence angle dependence in the transmission factor because over layer is thick, so this filter doesn't suit use by a wide-angle lens. It is suitable for heavenly body photography. Key Features: • Produces better accuracy of colour in digital images than found in most traditional IR filters, when using colour CCD or CMOS camera sensors that are particularly susceptible to UV and IR rays. • Only cuts through those light rays that fall within the visible spectrum of light, this filter blocks both ultraviolet rays found below 390 nm, as well as infrared rays above 700 nm • This combination filter cuts through atmospheric haze to a greater degree than otherwise found. • Compatible with stackable standard filters for a better combination of effects. • Provides support with low-profile and a rigid aluminium filter ring. An Important Note Regarding Wide-Angle Lenses: Increasing the angle of incidence, meaning light rays entering the filter from an extreme angle as is the case with super-wide and ultra-wide angle lenses, leads to an increasing colour shift as the angle increases. This is based on the physics of light and the nature of the coatings. All UV-IR cut filters have the same properties in this regard. It is not recommended this filter be used with lenses having a field of view greater than 60 degrees. Please Note: The UV-IR CUT filter is intended for use with digital SLR cameras and cine cameras that do NOT have an IR filter installed in front of the sensor. Colour balance effects can occur when this filter is used with cameras that have an IR filter installed in front of the sensor. Please consult your camera's owner’s manual before use.

| "This kit contains: • 1x HMC Digital UV(C) Filter • 1x Circular Polarising Filter • 1x NDx8 Filters • 1x Filter wallet. HMC Digital UV(C) Filter The Hoya HMC Digital UV(C) Filter is a multi-purpose fine-weather filter that can absorb the ultraviolet rays; often making outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct. The clear UV filter has a multi-purpose use and can be left on the lens to serve as a permanent lens protector, digital photography and used for colour as well as black and white film. This filter is renowned for its ability to minimise reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting. The result is an average light transmission of over 97%, giving sharp contrast and well balanced colour. Hoya HMC Digital filters are recommended for enhancing the performance of today's multicoated lenses. Other uses include: • Functions as over-all protection filter to minimize moisture, dust and scratches from reaching lens elements. • This filter can be paired with others as its clear filter provides no additional coloration or contrast Circular Polarising Filter The Hoya Circular Polarising Filter allows significant reduction reflections and glare from non-metallic surfaces. For maximum effect a camera angle of 30 degrees from the reflecting surface (glass, water, etc.) is ideal. To appear clearer with a better contrast the Circular Polarising Filter enables colours to become more saturated; this effect can be used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. The only difference between a circular polarizer and a linear polarizer is that it contains a quarter wave plane that the linear polarizer does not. The purpose of this quarter wave plane is to circularly polarize the linearly polarized light for the use of auto focus and exposure functions. As a result of how the light is broken down and filtered with a linear polarizer, auto focus and exposure accuracy become skewed during use. It permits the use of these functions when the light becomes circularly polarized. Other uses include: • Filters out light that has become polarized as a result of reflection from a non-metallic surface, which helps to decrease reflections and glare. • Polarizing filters position and filter directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, permitting absorption of much of the light • Provides more saturation, vivid colours and clears up haze in distant landscapes • Used at a 90° angle from the sun produces the strongest effects. • Ideal for use with digital cameras as well as autofocus lenses where a linear polarizer frequently disrupts auto exposure and focus features. NDx8 Neutral Density Filter Neutral Density filters offer the possibility to achieve otherwise unachievable results and can enable the shooter to adjust exposure without affecting colour balance. ND filters appear grey and reduce the amount of light reaching the film and have no effect on the colour balance. This filter offers a filter factor of 0.9, which is equivalent to 3 stops of light. Other uses include: • Enabling slow shutter speeds to be used, in particularly with high speed films in order to record movement in subjects. For example, waterfalls, clouds, or cars • Reduces depth of field by permitting broader apertures to be used, this helps separate subjects from their background • The filter can be used outdoors in bright situations as it diminishes the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) • Allows cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects. An example of these include snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause overexposure • 8x = ND 0.9 (exposure adjustment = 3 stops, reduces ISO 1/8) Filter Wallet This kit comes with a handy filter pouch that your filters can be safely guarded in and will fit within your gear bag.
