“I’ve been using the new Firecrest Ultra filters for a couple of weeks now, and they are just a new level of epic! The colours you see are the colours you get, no colour cast, no loss in image quality. I don’t know how the guys at Formatt Hitech improved the Firecrest filters but they did it!
Surely this has to be the benchmark of the discerning professional photographer. Seriously, just get them! The Firecrest Ultra Filters are next level Boomshakala!”
“... I was impressed at the colour neutrality, even on a 30 second exposure, almost having to check that the filter was even in-place. ..... it’s great to see these guys not being satisfied with an already great product and creating something new.
.... the resolution on a 36MP sensor was as sharp with the filter as it was without, even cropped in at 100% - it was almost unbelievable. ”
“In the month that I have been using the Firecrest Ultra ND Grad filters, I have been blown away by the quality of them.
The clarity through the filters is amazing, and unlike some other neutral density grads, there is definitely no colour cast. I have used them with focal lengths ranging from 16mm through to 200mm and the quality has been the same throughout. ”

Firecrest Ultra Joel Tjintjelaar Long Exposure Filter Kit #2
Firecrest Ultra Joel Tjintjelaar Long Exposure Filter Kit #2
Introducing the Firecrest Ultra Long Exposure Kit #2, Joel Tjintjelaar Signature Edition. This Long Exposure Kit includes 10, 13 and 16 stop ND filters. The Long Exposure Kit #2 is for users who wish to forgo the versatility of stacking 3, 6 & 10 stop filters and commit to a single filter solution for their long exposure photography. Kit #2 features 10, 13 & 16 stops of Firecrest Ultra ND. 10 stops is a good general purpose long exposure filter for landscape. 13 stops is ideal for 2-3 minute exposures on seascapes, where the meeting of land and sea causes clouds to move more quickly across the frame than usual. 16 stops is the standard bearer of long exposure technique ... a single filter capable of 5-8 minute exposures.

Firecrest ND Filters
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 manufacturing process. The Firecrest multicoating is a rare earth metallic 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.
