Description
The Hoya X1 HMC Green Filter is a specialised monochrome contrast tool designed primarily for outdoor landscapes and indoor portrait photography.
Key Features
- Foliage & Tree Correction: Lightens green tones in monochrome imagery. This provides a beautiful tonal separation in outdoor scenic shots by rendering dark leaves into lighter, more detailed shades of grey.
- Balanced Skin Tones: Darkens red tones to correct skin complexions during indoor portraiture. It is highly effective under warm tungsten lighting, as it enhances facial detail and expressions.
- HMC Multi-Coating: Formulated with a 6-layer coating process (3 layers per side) that achieves over 97% average light transmission while suppressing surface reflections, glare, and ghosting.
- Filter Factor: Features an exposure correction factor of 4, requiring an adjustment of 2 f-stops to balance out the light absorbed by the green glass.
