Formatt Hitech 58mm Firecrest Neutral Density 2.7 Filter (9 Stops)

The Formatt Hitech Firecrest Neutral Density 2.7 (9-Stop) Filter is a high-performance circular ND filter designed for photographers and filmmakers who require extreme light reduction with uncompromising colour accuracy. Built using Formatt Hitech’s advanced Firecrest carbon metallic coating, this filter delivers truly neutral results without the colour shifts associated with traditional dyed resin filters.

Precision-manufactured from Schott Superwite™ optical glass, the Firecrest ND 2.7 ensures outstanding sharpness, contrast and consistency, making it ideal for ultra-long exposures and cinematic video work in bright conditions.

Extreme Light Control with True Neutrality

With 9 stops of light reduction, this ND 2.7 filter allows for dramatically slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in strong daylight. The Firecrest coating reduces light evenly across the visible spectrum, preserving natural colours, accurate white balance and fine detail—even in high-contrast scenes.

Perfect for smoothing water, stretching cloud movement, eliminating crowds, or maintaining correct shutter speeds for video.

Advanced Coatings for Demanding Environments

Firecrest filters are engineered to perform in challenging lighting conditions:

• Hydrophobic coating repels water, oil and dirt

• Anti-reflective coating reduces ghosting and internal reflections

• Exceptional flare resistance maintains strong contrast and clarity

• Improved visual acuity for sharper, cleaner images

These features make the filter especially well suited to landscape, seascape, architectural and outdoor video work.

SuperSlim, Stackable Design

The filter is mounted in a 5.5mm SuperSlim aluminium ring, helping to minimise vignetting on wide-angle lenses while remaining fully stackable with other filters. The precision-machined ring ensures a secure, smooth fit on any lens with a 58mm filter thread.
