Helping to selectively reduce exposure in certain areas, while allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in other regions, the 95 Formatt Hitech 95mm 3-Stop ND Filteris ideally suited to controlling bright skies without underexposing the foreground. The filter is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a soft-edged line of transition between the density and clear areas. The filter is mounted within a rotating frame, and allows for greater control over the orientation of the density to match certain subject types. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and the 0.9 density provides a 3 stop reduction in light from entering the lens.

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 multi-coating, which helps to minimize reflections and flare in order maintain truer colors and contrast. The multi-coating is also scratch-resistant and hydrophobic to benefit the overall durability of the filter. The filter is set within a 7.5mm-thick SuperSlim aluminum filter ring, which features front threads for stacking additional filters or attaching a lens cap.

Graduated ND 0.9 filter for darkening skies and other bright areas of the image.

Provides a 3 stop reduction in light in selective areas.

Soft-edge transition is ideal for circumstances there is not a distinct line of separation between the bright and dark zones of the image.

Rotating mount enables control over the orientation of the density for matching to specific subject shapes and compositions.

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 multi-coating is water- and scratch-resistance for greater overall durability.

Schott Superwite glass promotes maintained image clarity and is set within a 7.5mm-thick SuperSlim aluminum filter ring.

Q: 1. When open, are the pockets arranged 6 by 1 or 3 by 2?

A: When I bought the 6 filter wallet about a year ago it was 3 x 2, but judging by the pic I am now seeing above it would be 6 x 1, as the one pictured above is half as wide as mine.

Q: 2. Will this work with regular round 77mm filters as well? I would like to put square filters and round filters in the same wallet. Thanks.

A: I would not recommend using round filters in this wallet, as the sleeves are a bit too thin, and may rip.This wallet would also make a good low-cost addition to your camera bag:Tiffen Cordura Six Filter PouchB&H # TIFP6 Mfr # CORD6

Q: 3. Where is this filter made?

A: According to our records they are made in the United Kingdom. And according to Formatt Hitech's website their filters are, carefully crafted in the UK using the most advanced and scientific manufacturing process in the filter industry.

Q: 4. What are the differences between Skyeye and Revolution filters? Thank you.

A: The Skyeye filters, like the Kase 77mm Skyeye ND64 (6-Stop) Magnetic Neutral Density Filter with Adapter Ring, have a filter thread on the outside frame, making them compatible with standard screw-on filters. The Wolverine Revolution filters have an additional nano coating, which toughens the glass and makes the filters scratch-resistant, waterproof, anti-reflective, and easy to clean. They also do not have a filter thread on the outside frame, making them slimmer and lighter.

Q: 5. Will this filter block InfraRed light?

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

Q: 6. Can I use this with the Formatt Hitech 100mm Aluminum Modular Filter Holder Kit?

A: Hi

Q: 7. 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: 8. I'm confused. The pictures and specifications indicate these are 100mm X 150mm filters. The answer for, "What comes in the box by 'Manzell L. (Staff) states they are 100mm square. Are they 3 square or rectangular filters?

A: The filters are rectangular. This is common with most graduated neutral density filters since you sometimes need to raise or lower the line where the density changes.

Q: 9. 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: 10. What are the dimensions of the product closed with filters?

A: The thickness of the filters can be different so that is a variable.The width and length is approximately when folded, 175mm x 90mm.
