The Formatt Hitech Firecrest Ultra is a 55mm neutral density filter that reduces the light entering the camera, giving you room to use a slower shutter speed in brighter conditions. Its ND 2.4 rating corresponds to an eight-stop reduction. That makes it particularly suited to deliberate motion blur in landscapes and other scenes where you want movement to register over time. It can also help you use a wider aperture when the available light would otherwise call for a smaller one. The key practical point is that this is a substantial reduction, rather than a subtle adjustment. If you enjoy shaping motion with exposure, it gives you a clear way to do that without waiting for dimmer light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrying to blur moving water in daylight can leave you stuck with shutter speeds that are far too quick; this filter gives you the exposure room to slow things down. With eight stops of reduction, a starting exposure of 1\/250 sec becomes roughly one second, which can give a stream or waterfall a smoother look. For a 55mm filter thread, the size is straightforward to match to a lens with that thread. I’d suggest using a stable support for those longer exposures, especially around the one-second mark. This suits landscape photographers who want motion blur in bright conditions. It’s a strong reduction, so it won’t be the right pick when you only want a small exposure change.\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: 55mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral density: 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":57512672493908,"sku":"FH-FCU55ND2.4","price":98.07,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/it\/products\/formatt-hitech-firecrest-ultra-55mm-neutral-density-2-4-8-stops","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
