The 67mm Formatt Hitech 67mm 5-Stop ND Filteris a solid neutral density filter providing a 5-stop reduction in exposure. This 1.5 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or longer shutter speed than normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily.

The design of this filter has been optimized for use with digital sensors and promote nearly flat attenuation of visible, UV, and infrared light. Due to imaging sensors' greater susceptibility to infrared light, compared to traditional film, color casts can occur when photographing darker subjects that require increased exposure times. This filter provides a high level of neutrality across all three spectrums in order to eliminate color casts and ensure cleaner, truer blacks.

Applied to the outside of the Schott Superwite glass construction is a 15-layer Firecrest multicoating, which helps to minimize reflections and flare in order maintain truer colors and contrast. The multicoating is also scratch resistant and hydrophobic to benefit the overall durability of the filter. The filter is set within a 5.5mm-thick SuperSlim aluminum filter ring, which features front threads for stacking additional filters or attaching a lens cap.

This filter is designed specifically for photography applications. This filter is not suitable for direct solar viewing with the naked eye, including with optical viewfinders.

ND 1.5 filter darkens the image, allowing you to photograph with a longer shutter speed or wider aperture than normally required.

Providing a 5-stop exposure reduction, this filter allows you to control depth of field and convey movement more easily.

Attenuates infrared light, as well as visible and UV wavelengths, to maintain color neutrality and suppress color casts due to increased exposure lengths.

The 15-layer Firecrest coating has been applied directly to the outside of the filter glass by way of a vacuum-formed, hard-coated, electrolytic process. The multicoating is water and scratch resistant for greater overall durability.

Schott Superwite glass promotes maintained image clarity and is set within a 5.5mm-thick SuperSlim aluminum filter ring.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Hi, pls specify the make. Is it Japanese?

A: Currently it is made in Japan. Please note that this is subject to change at any time.

Q: 2. What comes in the box? The description provided by B&H is limited.

A: The Formatt Hitech 100mm Graduated Neutral Density Kit 6 comes with the three (3) filters listed under the In The Box tab on the kit's webpage, which include the Formatt Hitech 4 x 4 Soft-Edge 0.3 Graduated Neutral Density Glass Filter, B&H # FOGND.3S44, the Formatt Hitech 4 x 4 Soft-Edge 0.6 Graduated Neutral Density Glass Filter, B&H # FOGND.6S44, and the Formatt Hitech 4 x 4 Soft-Edge 0.9 Graduated Neutral Density Glass Filter, B&H # FOGND.9S44. The filters are designed to fit 4 x 4 /100mm x 100mm filter holders, such as the Formatt Hitech 100mm Aluminum Modular Filter Holder, B&H # FOHTAMHS, or the Cokin Z-PRO Filter Holder (Requires Adapter Ring), B&H # COFHZP. However, as indicated under the In The Box tab, only the three (3) filters are included in the filter kit. You would have to purchase the filter holder and adapter ring for your lens separately, as nothing but the filters are included in the filter kit.

Q: 3. Is This Filter Really A 62mm Filter? Why In The Photo It Says 77mm?

A: Yes, Hoya ProND EX 1000 Filter (62mm, 10-Stop) is 62mm not 77mm.

Q: 4. will these filters fit a Sinar filter holder? would be using on a large format camera with a Nikor 90mm and and Nikor 210mm lens.

A: If you have a Sinar 100 x 100mm filter holder, these filters can fit.

Q: 5. will this filter vignette with the Canon EF 16-35mm F4L lens?

A: You may experience vignette with this filter on the widest end of the 16-35mm Canon lens, depending on the camera you are using.

Q: 6. Does this have hard stops?

A: No.

Q: 7. Will this filter block InfraRed light?

A: No, only a dedicated IR filter would work in this manner.

Q: 8. Can anyone confirmed which version this is? B&H photos show the stop indicators on the side as being lines, but reviews show the indicators being actual numbers.

A: that is an older photo, yes it has numbers.

Q: 9. Is there a ND filter I can used with a 10-24mm lens that does not band or vignette? for a Tamron SP 10-24 77mm

A: This ND filter is optimized for use with wide angle lenses, so vignetting will be kept to a minimum, if there is any at all.

Q: 10. What size lens cap would I need to go in front of this?

A: The Formatt Hitech 77mm Multistop Neutral Density Filter does not have front filter threads and will not accept a standard lens cap.

[Aluminum] I have used this filter for my work for two years and it is perfect. I can use it in my Cokin Z-holder but more often than not just hand hold it. It can easily be combined with a CPL or other ND filter to achieve 4-extra stops which help with waterfalls on sunny days, softening clouds, getting a soft ethereal texture from crashing waves and streams. The nice thing about it is that unlike using very high density screw on ND filters which might make it very difficult to see and focus, especially when using slow f/5.6 lens, you can compose, focus, then use the AF button to lock focus, hold the filter over the lens or other filter, then exposure and click. Very simple and effective. I use this filter a lot. I used to own the extremely expensive SR vari-ND but I sold it for this one because 1) it vignettes at wide angles, 2) does not meter properly due to the physics of the design so you must take test shots and use an iterative approach 3) you can easily over dial in the density which results in a 'cross' in the center where the two polarizers meet. You can't see this effect in the viewfinder since it would be too dark but the result is obvious in the LCD screen. Bottom line, it is much faster to use this filter than a vari-ND and since a vari-ND vignettes at ultra wide angles you end up needing two sets of filters which is just a waste of money. I use this filter a lot along with about 10 other filters which I keep in my two filter pouches that include grad-NDs, CPL, and yes, a screw-on 3-stop ND. No color cast, fast and easy to use compared with any alternative, and very affordable. 5
