Formatt Hitech FC ND 85x85mm (3.35x3.35) ND 3 (10stops)
Formatt Hitech FC ND 85x85mm (3.35x3.35) ND 3 (10stops) | Create long exposures in bright conditions
Bright light can leave you with shutter speeds that are too quick for the movement you want to show. The Formatt Hitech FC ND 3 filter reduces the light reaching your camera by 10 stops, giving you room to use a much slower shutter speed in daylight. That makes it useful for landscape and architectural photography, where you might want moving water to blur or passing clouds to soften across the frame. It can also help when you want a wider aperture in bright conditions. The square filter measures 85 x 85 mm (3.35 x 3.35 inches), so its dimensions are clear when you're planning your filter setup. This is a strong neutral-density reduction rather than a subtle adjustment; it suits photographers who specifically want a pronounced change in exposure, not just a small correction.
What 10 stops gives you
Each stop halves the light reaching the sensor. A 10-stop reduction therefore lets in 1/1024 as much light as the exposure would receive without the filter. That substantial change is what opens the door to much longer exposures in bright scenes. Think about the shutter speed you want before framing the shot, then adjust exposure for the filter’s reduction.
Specialist Note
The honest limitation is that 10 stops is a big jump, so this isn't the filter I'd suggest for a small exposure tweak. Its value is when you want a deliberately long exposure in daylight. The 85 x 85 mm square format is a useful detail to match to your filter setup, and ND 3 gives you that full 10-stop reduction. For moving water, start from your unfiltered reading: if it’s 1/125 second, adding ten stops brings you to about 8 seconds. That’s a practical starting point for a softened, flowing look. It suits landscape photographers who want that effect and are happy to work with a substantial exposure change.
