Formatt Hitech Firecrest Ultra 100x100mm Neutral Density 2.4 (8 Stops)
Formatt Hitech Firecrest Ultra 100x100mm Neutral Density 2.4 (8 Stops) | Create longer daylight exposures
Without a neutral-density filter, bright daylight can leave you with shutter speeds too fast to show movement in water or clouds. This Formatt Hitech Firecrest Ultra is a square ND filter for photographers who want more control over exposure in bright conditions. Its 100x100mm format suits a square-filter workflow, and the reduced light lets you choose a longer shutter time without changing the scene’s lighting. That makes it useful for landscape work, where a flowing stream can become a softer blur, or for architectural scenes where moving people can register less strongly during a long exposure. It’s also relevant when you want to keep a particular aperture in daylight rather than closing it down just to manage brightness. The filter’s specific strength is substantial, so it’s best suited to deliberate exposure changes rather than small adjustments. If you’re building a long exposure, it gives you room to work with shutter time instead of relying on fast exposures alone.
Specialist Note
“Will ND 2.4 make a real difference to my shutter speed?” Yes: this filter reduces the light by eight stops, so it can turn a quick exposure into a long one. For example, at the same aperture and ISO, a starting exposure of 1/30 sec becomes roughly 8.5 seconds—enough to soften moving water in a daylight landscape. I’d suggest choosing your framing first, then setting your base exposure and allowing for the filter’s reduction. This suits photographers who want pronounced movement blur, not someone after a subtle exposure trim. One honest point: eight stops is a large change, so it calls for a considered exposure rather than a casual adjustment.
