The Formatt Hitech Firecrest Ultra is for photographers who deliberately work with motion blur and want to keep their chosen aperture and ISO while using a much slower shutter speed. Compose and focus before fitting a dense ND filter, then base your exposure calculation on a reading made without it. That workflow matters: with so much light cut, a practical exposure reading through the camera may be difficult. It’s best suited to planned, stable-camera landscape or architectural exposures, rather than quick shutter-speed adjustments. The result depends on the scene and exposure, but this filter provides the light reduction needed to make very long shutter times achievable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Formatt Hitech Firecrest Ultra 82mm Neutral Density 4.8 is best at creating very long exposures in bright conditions. Its 16-stop reduction can turn a metered 1\/60 sec into about 18 minutes 12 seconds at the same aperture and ISO. That’s useful for smoothing a river or blurring moving clouds, as long as the camera stays steady and the light remains consistent. The 82mm figure is the filter diameter, so it’s for a lens setup that accepts an 82mm filter. I’d treat this as a dedicated long-exposure filter, not one for modest shutter-speed changes: 16 stops is a substantial reduction, and it calls for a planned shot.\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: 82mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral density rating: 4.8 (16 stops)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Formatt Hitech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57512659878228,"sku":"FH-FCU82ND4.8","price":172.76,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/es\/products\/formatt-hitech-firecrest-ultra-82mm-neutral-density-4-8-16-stop","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
