This Formatt Hitech filter cuts the light reaching the camera by 22 stops, giving you room to make exposures far longer than the available light would otherwise allow. It’s suited to landscape photographers and anyone working with deliberate motion blur: think smoothing moving water or letting clouds travel across a frame. You can also use a dense ND filter to work with a wider aperture in bright conditions, though the very large light reduction calls for careful exposure planning. Its 100x100mm format is for photographers working with square filters. The appeal here is specific: a very strong light cut when ordinary exposure settings won’t give you the long shutter time you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 22-stop reduction is a serious limitation as well as the reason to choose this filter: composing and focusing after it’s in place can be difficult, and exposure times grow quickly. I’d frame, focus and meter first, then calculate the longer exposure. For perspective, a metered 1\/8000 sec exposure becomes about 8 minutes 44 seconds after adding 22 stops. That makes this filter useful for smoothing moving water or recording cloud movement in bright conditions, provided you plan the timing carefully. The 100x100mm square format is worth factoring into your setup, while the 6.6 density tells you just how far this filter is intended to push shutter times.\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 size: 100x100mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter type: Neutral density\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDensity: 6.6 (22 stops)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Formatt Hitech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57512677212500,"sku":"FH-FCU100ND6.6","price":133.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/it\/products\/formatt-hitech-firecrest-ultra-100x100mm-neutral-density-6-6-22-stops","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
