The 95mm Formatt Hitech 95mm 6-Stop ND Filteris a solid neutral density filter providing a 6-stop reduction in exposure. This 1.8 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 1.8 filter darkens the image, allowing you to photograph with a longer shutter speed or wider aperture than normally required.

Providing a 6-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.

Q: 1. Does this have hard stops?

A: No.

Q: 2. I just watched a video on YouTube where the gent says there are NO filter threads inside but the specs here list that there are?

A: I contacted Formatt-Hitech with your inquiry. They state that the Formatt Hitech 77mm Firecrest SuperSlim Circular Polarizer Filter, B&H # FOFCSSCP77, has 77mm front filter threads. They state you may stack multiple threaded filters onto each other as long as they all have the same 77mm filter thread diameter size.

Q: 3. 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: 4. Will these filters fit the Lee 100 system holder?

A: Yes, these filters will fit the Lee Foundation Kit.

Q: 5. 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: 6. Will this filter block InfraRed light?

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

Q: 7. Does the ring physically stop at min and max ends, or does it just spin all the way around?

A: The Formatt Hitech 72mm Multistop Variable Neutral Density Filter ring does not physically stop at min, or max. It does just spin around.

Q: 8. 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: 9. My filter's lens rattles between the ring, which feels plastic. Anyone else? Suspect fake. Did not purchase from B&H.

A: Mine fits well. Good solid fit. No problems at all. It turns about 3/4 when tightening on Canon lenses. Purchased from B&H.

Q: 10. What is the difference between this and MFR #1089228? Seems like one has a knurled edge and one doesn't - is that it?

A: Both filters are thinner to prevent vignetting on wide angle lenses, but the B+W 67mm MRC Nano Master #806 ND1.8 Filter would offer the knurled edge on the ring as the only difference.
