Firecrest ND filter (open box)

The open box ND filters are a bargain. I ordered the 7 stop, 77mm ND Firecrest. Shipping was fast. The ND filter arrived in pristine condition. Did some quick test shots and was impressed. Looking forward to using it on a project.

Great service; great products

Excellent service. Fast delivery. Filters do not add color cast nor do they soften the image in any way.

Firecrest ND is made in the UK, nuff said.

There really is no match in quality of materials, light weight, low profile and excellent optical quality for the price point. Best of all made in the UK.
