The Formatt Hitech Firecrest ND 2.4 reduces the light reaching your camera by eight stops, giving you room to use longer exposures in those conditions. It’s a 46mm ND filter, so it suits a lens designed to take a filter of that diameter. This kind of light reduction is especially useful for deliberate motion blur, rather than simply making a scene darker for its own sake. It can also help you keep a wider aperture in bright light when you want to control depth of field. The strength is substantial: it gives you meaningful scope to extend exposure time, but it isn’t the filter to reach for when you only need a small adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Firecrest ND 2.4 gives you eight stops of light reduction when slowing the shutter without a filter would overexpose the scene. For a moving stream, that can turn a 1\/125-second exposure into about two seconds, making the water appear smooth while the rocks stay defined. Its 46mm size matters at the lens: use it with a lens that takes 46mm filters, and the filter can do its job without changing your exposure plan. I’d point this toward landscape photographers who want motion blur in daylight. One caveat: eight stops is a strong reduction, so it may be more than you need for a subtle shutter-speed 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\u003eFilter type: ND filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter diameter: 46mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical density: ND 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":57563704361300,"sku":"FH-FC46ND2.4","price":65.08,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/nl\/products\/formatt-hitech-firecrest-nd-46mm-nd-2-4-8stops-filter","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
