Firecrest Glass
Firecrest is a multicoating applied to glass and is far and away the most technologically advanced filter manufacturing process on the market. Firecrest filters remove dyed resin from the filter manufacturing. The Firecrest multicoating is a rare earth metal coating applied to the glass through an electrolytic process. Most importantly, Firecrest technology gives our chief scientist unprecedented control over modifying specific frequencies of the light spectrum. The result is hyper-neutral NDs, with tailored reductions of ultraviolet, visible spectrum light, near-infrared and infrared.
ND Filters - 3, 6 and 10 stops ND in Firecrest Glass
Neutral Density (or ND) filters produce a grey neutral effect and are used to reduce light in photography, enabling control over exposure time and depth of field without affecting colour or contrast. ND's are made in different densities according to the level of light reduction from 1 stop to 10 stops (even 13 and 16 stops) of light.
The 3 and 6 stop filters in this kit will moderately increase your exposure times for landscape images, but when combined with the 10 stop you can achieve 2-3 minute exposures when shooting near the sea (13 stops) or 5-8 minute exposures for architectural photography (16 stops).

All kits include foam gaskets, filter pouches/clamshells and exclusive Joel Tjintjelaar Long Exposure booklet, and an exposure conversion chart.
