This Formatt Hitech Firecrest Ultra is a strong neutral-density filter, designed to cut the light reaching your camera so you can use a much longer exposure. It suits landscape and architectural photographers who want deliberate motion blur, or who need more room to choose their exposure settings in bright conditions. Its 16-stop reduction is particularly suited to long exposures rather than small exposure adjustments. You’ll need a square-filter holder that accepts its 100x100mm format. With such a substantial light reduction, it’s sensible to compose and focus before fitting the filter, then check your exposure carefully. It’s a specialised tool for scenes where a modest ND filter won’t give you the shutter speed you’re after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill this 16-stop Firecrest Ultra give me genuinely long exposures in daylight? Yes: that much light reduction can turn a quick exposure into minutes, which is the point of this filter. For example, a metered 1\/60 sec exposure works out to roughly 18 minutes after 16 stops, so use that as a starting calculation and adjust for the scene. The 100x100mm square format means you’ll need a holder made for that size; it’s a good fit for landscape photographers already working with square filters. I’d use it for smoothing moving water or drawing cloud movement across a static building. The trade-off is the very long exposure time: it’s not the filter for quick handheld changes.\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\u003eSeries: Firecrest Ultra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter type: Neutral density\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter size: 100x100mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral density: 4.8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure reduction: 16 stops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Formatt Hitech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57512675180884,"sku":"FH-FCU100ND4.8","price":123.76,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/zh\/products\/formatt-hitech-firecrest-ultra-100x100mm-neutral-density-4-8-16-stops","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
