The Firecrest Ultra is a neutral density filter with a 1.2 strength, reducing the light reaching the camera by four stops. That reduction is useful when you want a slower shutter speed in daylight, or want to use a wider aperture without changing the exposure you’re aiming for. It suits landscape photographers working with moving water, surf or clouds, and anyone who wants deliberate motion blur rather than a frozen scene. A four-stop reduction can, for example, turn a shutter speed of 1\/125 sec into roughly 1\/8 sec at the same aperture and ISO. That’s enough to suggest movement in a flowing subject while keeping the surrounding scene properly exposed. Its appeal is focused: a clear, defined reduction in light, in a square 100 × 100 mm format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhotographers framing waterfalls, surf or cloud movement will get the most from this filter. Its four-stop reduction gives you room to slow the shutter in daylight; as a starting example, 1\/125 sec becomes about 1\/8 sec without changing aperture or ISO. That can soften moving water while retaining detail in the landscape around it. The 100 × 100 mm square format also matters to your setup: plan for a square filter rather than a circular screw-in type. I’d consider it when you want a measured, moderate long-exposure effect; for much longer exposures in bright conditions, four stops may not be enough on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter type: Neutral density\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter size: 100 × 100 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral density strength: 1.2 (4 stops)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Formatt Hitech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57512670495060,"sku":"FH-FCU100ND1.2","price":114.27,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/products\/formatt-hitech-firecrest-ultra-100x100mm-neutral-density-1-2-4-stops","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
