Formatt Hitech Firecrest ND Filter 0.3 165 x 165 mm

ND filters reduce the brightness of the entire image without altering the color. They can be used for various applications:

• Extending shutter speed for brightness corrections
• Extending shutter speed for flash synchronization
• Day-for-night effect when using flash
• Removing moving objects in architectural shots (at high densities)
• Ghosting effects (blurring) on water and clouds (at high densities)

ND filters can be combined in filter holders with additional ND filters (to increase light reduction) or with graduated filters.

Firecrest ND are revolutionary ND filters from Formatt-Hitech. Unlike standard resin filters from other manufacturers, these filters are completely color neutral and have no color cast. The filters are made from 2 mm Schott Superwite glass. The coating is bonded in the center to achieve maximum scratch resistance.

How to calculate the f-stop reduction of ND filters?
The density of ND filters is given in steps of 0.3. To obtain the f-stop reduction, multiply the value by 10 and then divide by 3.

Example:
0.3 x 10 = 3 | 3 = 1 stop
1.2 x 10 = 12 | 3 = 4 stops
4.8 x 10 = 48 | 3 = 16 stops.
