Formatt Hitech 52mm Firecrest Neutral Density 1.5 Filter (5 Stops)

The Formatt Hitech Firecrest Neutral Density 1.5 (5-Stop) Filter is a premium-quality ND filter designed for photographers and filmmakers who demand absolute colour accuracy and exceptional optical performance. Unlike traditional dyed resin filters, Firecrest filters use an advanced carbon metallic coating, delivering truly neutral light reduction with no colour cast.

Manufactured using Schott Superwite optical glass, this 52mm circular ND filter ensures outstanding clarity, sharpness and consistency, making it ideal for long exposure photography, motion blur effects, and precise exposure control in bright conditions.

True Neutral Density Performance

Firecrest technology represents a major leap forward in ND filter design. The hyper-neutral carbon coating reduces light evenly across the visible spectrum, preserving natural colours and accurate white balance even in challenging lighting conditions. With 5 stops of light reduction, this ND 1.5 filter allows you to slow shutter speeds or use wider apertures without overexposing your image.

Built for Demanding Conditions

Designed for professional use, Firecrest ND filters feature advanced surface treatments that improve image quality and durability:

• Hydrophobic coating repels water, oil and dirt for easier cleaning

• Anti-reflective coating minimises internal reflections and ghosting

• Extremely flare resistant, maintaining high contrast in strong light

• Enhanced visual acuity for sharper, more detailed results

These features make the filter especially effective for landscape, seascape, architectural and video work in bright or high-contrast environments.

Slim, Stackable Design

The filter is mounted in a 5.5mm SuperSlim aluminium ring, reducing the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses while remaining fully stackable with other filters. The precision-machined ring ensures a secure fit on any lens with a 52mm filter thread.
