The 6.6 x 6.6" Formatt Hitech Ultra Cinema ND Filter 6.6x6.6" 2-Stopfrom Formatt Hitech Ultra Cinema ND Filter 6.6x6.6" 2-Stopuses a rare Earth-mineral coating to create exceedingly neutral NDs. Soft-edge grads are versatile filters used to balance the luminosity of a bright sky with the terrain below. The soft edge makes it easy to place the filter in the scene, especially over undulating horizons (such as mountains). The filters are made from 4mm-thick Schott Superwite glass, and the multicoating is bonded in the middle to increase scratch resistance. Firecrest Filters are neutral across all spectrums, including UV, visible, and infrared.

Firecrest Ultra IRND are carbon-based IRND filters with hyper-neutral color balance which can be used for uniform near infrared filtration allowing your camera's color science to remain untouched. Ultra IRND are equally compatible with ARRI, RED, Blackmagic Design, Canon, Panasonic, and other modern digital cinema cameras allowing the image to be captured as the manufacturer intended.

4mm Cine Firecrest Ultra IRND have the same features of the popular 4mm Cine Firecrest ND. The 4mm Firecrest ND and 4mm Firecrest Ultra IRND both have identical optical performance with the engraving being the only difference.

Q: 1. Does anyone knows what size is the larger diameter size of this filter the top part, not the 82mm the other size?, need to know to get a cap for it

A: The Urth ND2-400 (1-8.6 Stop) Variable ND Lens Filter (82mm) has a front threading of 82mm. These Urth filters have the same size threading front and back for easy stacking and lens cap use.

Q: 2. How thin are these Wratten 2 filters compared to the original Eastman Kodak Wrattens?

A: This Kodak 3 x 3" Neutral Density (ND) #96 2.0 Optical Gelatin Wratten 2 Filter is very accurate, and more durable than the original Eastmen Kodak Wrattens.

Q: 3. Recommended circular polarizing filter for Canon 100-500 to ne used in snow conditions also use clear filter on lens allways?

A: Tiffen 77mm Digital HT (High Transmission) Circular Polarizing Multi-Coated Filter have front threads of 77mm if you preffer to have an uv filter in the front. However this filter has the highest scratch-resistant coatings. If you would be shooting outdoors the filter factor cuts between 1.2-1.5 stop of light to help correct exposure when shooting with snow.

Q: 4. Will a standard 52mm Nikon lens cap fit on this polarizer? Thanks, Frank

A: Yes, a 52mm lens cap will fit on the Tiffen 52mm Digital HT filter.

Q: 5. What is the diameter of the round glass filter in millimeters?

A: The NiSi Cinema True Color 1-5 Stop Variable Neutral Density Filter for C5 Matte Box can be used with 95mm cinema lenses and lenses with filter threads up to 82mm.

Q: 6. Will a lens cap fit over this filter? And is it waterproof?

A: The filter will accept a 58mm lens cap. This filter is not waterproof.

Q: 7. I think I have seen some VND's have a total size larger than its threading part, which ends up blocking the ability to mount a lens hood. Does the size of this filter prevent the mounting of a lens hood?

A: Most Variable ND filters have a larger outer diameter than the thread in size. Urth ND2-400 (1-8.6 Stop) Variable ND Lens Filter (58mm) has a front and mount thread of 58mm. However, the outer diameter of this filter is 62mm therefore if your lens hood is not wide enough it may not fit with this filter mounted on your lens.

Q: 8. Can it can be used on Nikkor Z 400mm f4.5 & Nikkor Z 70-200mm f2.8 ?

A: To use the PolarPro Helix Variable Neutral Density Filter (6 to 9 Stops) on the Nikkor Z 70-200mm f2.8 you will need to purchase this PolarPro Helix 77mm adapter ring separately. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1767533-REG The Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S Lens has a 95mm filter thread and unfortunately the Helix adapter ring does not go to that size. Maximum they have is 82mm.

Q: 9. Does it have hard stops?

A: The Urth ND2-400 (1-8.6 Stop) Variable ND Lens Filter (82mm) features smooth twist adjustments rather than hard stops for each stop. This allows for seamless and precise control over the amount of light reduction. The filter can be easily adjusted to achieve the desired exposure without any abrupt changes or limitations.

Q: 10. Is this filter stackable? Can the lens cap still fit with this filter on?

A: Urth ND2-400 (1-8.6 Stop) Variable ND Lens Filter (67mm) has a front threaded diameter to attach 67mm lens caps and filters.

[Multi Coated] I am a newbie to ND photography and while researching ND filters so many photographers I respected recommended the Firecrest Ultra...and I am very glad I listened to them. I plan on buying the less dense ones too. 5

[Glass] The quality of these filters is outstanding. While they are somewhat expensive, they are worth the price point. The one thing I fail to understand is with the attention to quality and detail the weak link is the installation of the light leak gasket that is included with the filter. It is a challenge to affix it to the filter and have had difficulty with every filter I have from them. I don't know why Formatt-Hitech does not place it on the filter as part of the manufacturing process. 5

[Glass] I bought this filter for the express purpose of a trip to the Gulf to get long exposure shots in the afternoon sun. It was amazingly good! 5

[1.035 lb] I put these firecrest NDs head to head with PolarPros NDs and these are slightly more sharp and higher quality than polar pros. Just holding these in your hand you can feel the quality of the build. Theyre a breeze taking them on and off of the lens as well. Worth the top dollar they are. 5

[Multi Coated] Best ND filters on the market for this mm. 5

[Multi Coated] I was really pleased with the images that I have been able to create with this filter. As soon as I got it I took it to the coast and tried a bunch of long exposure shots at sunset. When I got the images onto my PC I was very happy to see that I could not tell which images I had used the filter on by looking at the colors. The colors were identical with and without the filter! 5

[1.035 lb] I bought this filter (95mm) to shoot the August 2017 eclipse. It worked perfectly. This filter, when shot in AWB (let camera choose white balance) does not add any color cast to the image. The images will be white, with no noticeable orange cast. you can always add an orange cast in post processing if desired. I was very happy with my images in 2017 and plan to use this filter again for the upcoming April 2024 eclipse. 5

[Glass] 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

[Multi Coated] For this review of my ND 3.0 filter, 10 stop, I used a tripod, the Nikon MC- 36A remote and the ND Expert Pro app. This was my very first imaging with this filter. What I was looking to see the effect of the filter and what, if any was there a shift in color. As you can see, the color shift was minor. This is a pricey filter, however, it performed as expected. 5

[1.035 lb] I always wondered how to get that creamy effect in a waterfall picture, and this was the answer. Coupled with a good tripod, I can now get some excellent waterfall pictures. 5
