It’s aimed at photographers who want movement to register across a longer exposure, rather than freezing every detail. Try it on flowing water, where a shutter speed around 1 second can soften the movement; without the filter, start by metering the scene, then account for the eight-stop reduction. It can also help when you want a slower shutter in daylight, though the result depends on your chosen exposure and the light. This is a strong fit for deliberate landscape work and other scenes where motion is part of the picture. The density is fixed, so it’s for situations where an eight-stop reduction suits the shot, not for fine-tuning the strength as you compose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt a sunlit river, the water is moving but the scene is bright; this is where an eight-stop filter earns its place. If your meter suggests 1\/250 sec without the filter, adding eight stops brings you close to a 1-second exposure, which gives the water time to blur. The 77mm size means matching it to a lens with a 77mm filter thread; it’s worth checking that measurement on the lens before choosing. I’d recommend it to landscape photographers who want a pronounced slow-shutter effect in daylight. One trade-off: ND 2.4 is a fixed strength, so it won’t give you a lighter reduction when eight stops is too much.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Formatt Hitech\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter type: ND filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter diameter: 77mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eND rating: 2.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight reduction: 8 stops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Formatt Hitech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57563712553300,"sku":"FH-FC77ND2.4","price":90.43,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/de\/products\/formatt-hitech-firecrest-nd-77mm-nd-2-4-8stops-filter","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
