Formatt Hitech Firecrest ND 67mm ND 2.1 (7stops) Filter
Formatt Hitech Firecrest ND 67mm ND 2.1 (7stops) Filter | Make longer exposures in daylight
Its ND 2.1 density gives this 67mm filter a seven-stop light reduction, making it useful when you want a slower shutter speed in bright conditions. It suits photographers who want to show movement in a scene rather than freeze every detail: think flowing water rendered with a softer look, or clouds that shift across a landscape during a longer exposure. The filter can also help when you want to use a wider aperture in strong light, though the result depends on your lens and the available light. Its particular strength is that substantial reduction in incoming light, which opens up shutter-speed choices that may otherwise be impractical in daylight. If you enjoy making deliberate exposure choices and working with motion, this is a straightforward tool to consider.
Putting seven stops to work
Seven stops is a significant change, so plan your exposure around the light reduction. As a simple example, a shutter speed of 1/125 second without the filter becomes approximately one second with it, assuming the same aperture and ISO. That can turn moving water into a smoother-looking surface while leaving fixed parts of the scene sharp, provided your camera is steady. For a more restrained effect, choose a faster starting shutter speed or adjust the exposure settings; the filter’s strength stays the same.
Specialist Note
Seven stops takes a 1/125-second exposure to about one second, which gives moving water time to soften instead of appearing frozen. I’d suggest this filter to someone who wants that slower-shutter look in daylight, especially for a waterfall or a stream; start with the exposure you’d use without the filter, then compensate for the seven-stop reduction. The 67mm size is the other detail to pay attention to: it needs to match the filter diameter of the lens you plan to use. ND 2.1 is a strong reduction, so it’s less suited to subtle changes in shutter speed. For more modest light control, you’d want a lighter ND strength.
