The Formatt Hitech Firecrest ND 0.9 reduces the light reaching the camera by three stops, giving you more room to choose a slower shutter speed or keep your preferred aperture. It suits photographers who want to show movement in a scene, such as softening flowing water or adding blur to passing traffic, without changing the overall framing. The 39mm size is for lenses with a matching filter diameter, so it’s a compact, specific option rather than a filter intended to fit every lens. Its three-stop strength is useful when you want a measured change in exposure; it’s less suited to the very long exposures that need a much stronger reduction in light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat three stops changes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA three-stop reduction lets you use an exposure eight times longer at the same aperture and ISO. For example, if your unfiltered shutter speed is 1\/125 sec, the equivalent is about 1\/15 sec with the filter in place. That can give moving water a softer appearance while keeping your chosen aperture, or help introduce motion blur in a scene with moving traffic. The result depends on how quickly the subject moves and how long the exposure is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA three-stop filter has a limit: it won’t give you extreme long exposures in bright daylight on its own. I’d still recommend this Firecrest when you want a modest, practical reduction rather than a dramatic change. The ND 0.9 strength means you can extend a 1\/125 sec exposure to roughly 1\/15 sec at the same aperture and ISO, which is a useful starting point for showing movement in a stream. The 39mm diameter also makes it a specific match for a lens with a 39mm filter diameter, so it suits photographers who need that size in particular. Keep the exposure goal modest and this strength makes sense.\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\u003eFilter diameter: 39mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eND density: 0.9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight reduction: 3 stops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter type: ND filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Formatt Hitech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57563698168148,"sku":"FH-FC39ND.9","price":58.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/nl\/products\/formatt-hitech-firecrest-nd-39mm-nd-0-9-3stops-filter","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
