Formatt Hitech Firecrest Ultra 100x100mm Neutral Density 0.6 (2 Stops) | Gain control over exposure

The 100x100mm square format is the defining choice: it gives you a flat filter to position in a square-filter setup, rather than a round filter that screws onto a lens. This Formatt Hitech Firecrest Ultra is a neutral density filter with a 0.6 rating, reducing exposure by two stops. That makes it useful when you want a slower shutter speed or a wider aperture without changing the brightness of the scene as much. It suits landscape photographers and anyone working deliberately with shutter speed, especially when there’s more light than their chosen settings allow. A two-stop reduction is a measured adjustment, not an extreme one: it can help smooth moving water or make a modest shutter-speed change, but it won’t turn a bright daytime scene into a very long exposure by itself. Choose it when you want a straightforward, predictable step of light reduction.

What two stops changes

Two stops means the filter lets you use an exposure four times longer at the same aperture and ISO. For example, a shutter speed of 1/125 second can become about 1/30 second. That extra time can soften the movement of a stream or small waves while keeping your other exposure choices steady.
