The Formatt Hitech Firecrest Ultra ND 1.8 cuts the light reaching your camera by six stops, giving you more room to use a slower shutter speed in daylight. It’s a useful option for landscape photographers who want flowing water to look smooth, or clouds to show movement across a frame, without waiting for the light to fade. The 100x100mm square format suits photographers building their work around square filters. This filter is best when you want a substantial, fixed reduction in light for a deliberate exposure; it isn’t a subtle adjustment. If you already plan exposures around long shutter speeds, the six-stop density gives you a clear, repeatable amount of light reduction to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix stops is a substantial cut in light, so this isn’t the filter I’d reach for when you only need a small exposure adjustment. For a bright-day waterfall shot, though, it gives you meaningful room to slow the shutter while keeping your chosen aperture. As a simple guide, if your metered exposure is 1\/60 sec, six stops takes you to about 1 sec at the same ISO and aperture. The 100x100mm square size is a practical match for a setup built around that filter format. I’d suggest it to landscape photographers who want controlled motion blur and are happy to plan around a fixed ND strength.\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\u003eSeries: Firecrest Ultra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter type: Neutral density\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter size: 100 x 100mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDensity: ND 1.8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight reduction: 6 stops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Formatt Hitech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57512671281492,"sku":"FH-FCU100ND1.8","price":114.27,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/de\/products\/formatt-hitech-firecrest-ultra-100x100mm-neutral-density-1-8-6-stops","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
