The Formatt Hitech Firecrest ND filter reduces the light reaching the camera by 9 stops, giving you room to use a slower shutter speed. It suits photographers who want to soften moving water, blur passing clouds or make other motion more visible in a still image. It can also help when you want to use a wider aperture in bright conditions. The 77mm size is for lenses with a matching 77mm filter thread, so check the thread size on the lens you plan to use. This filter is best when you want a substantial reduction in light for deliberate exposure effects; it’s a strong adjustment, rather than a subtle one. Choose your composition and exposure with the filter’s nine-stop effect in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Can I use this Firecrest ND 2.7 to turn a daytime water shot into a long exposure?” Yes: its 9-stop reduction gives you much more time for the water to blur. As a guide, if your unfiltered exposure is 1\/30 sec, adding nine stops brings it to about 17 seconds. That’s a useful starting point for showing movement in a stream or waterfall; adjust from there to suit the light and the effect you want. The 77mm diameter matters at the lens: it needs a 77mm filter thread. I’d recommend it to landscape photographers who want visibly softened motion or more freedom to use a wide aperture outdoors. Just remember that nine stops is a sizeable exposure change, so take a fresh exposure reading with the filter in place.\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 size: 77mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eND strength: ND 2.7 (9 stops)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Formatt Hitech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57503372149076,"sku":"FH-FC77ND2.7","price":90.43,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/pl\/products\/formatt-hitech-firecrest-nd-77mm-nd-2-7-9stops-filter","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
