Better than expected

I recently purchased two "open Box" ND filters a 5 and 9 stop for my Nikon 50mm.I could swear the two filters were brand new when I opened their plastic cases !! A great savings for me.

Perfect for my needs!

Got a full set of firecrest super slim NDs and I’ve used them on two jobs already in a week since I got them. Perfect for use on a gimbal!

Great Open box deal

Purchased two open box ND filters. Couldn’t distinguish it from New condition. Great quality and price.

They look great

Very cool effect especially for razor sharp lenses, and matches pretty closely with pro-mist in a pinch if you have to mix filters.

Excellent value!

I've ordered several "open box" ND filters, they've all been mint - brand new quality, at a great discount. Very recommended!

very happy_in austin, tx

I have 6 of the IRND filters in 4x5.6 in stops: 1,2,3,6 and 7 ...and they are all Formatt Hitech. I wanted to keep them all in the same brand and customer service has been great with me and I would not hesitate to buy more. P.S. I also have the round circular polarizer just haven’t shot with it yet but i expect to be happy, just like I am with the IRND filters. If I could be a Featured Artist, I would. www.garybrackin.com

High Quality Filter

I am relatively new at using "square" type filters in photography, but this is a well-made one. I can recommend it. It is glass, so handle with care!

As always, a positive transaction!

The Firecrest Cinema ND filters surpass the highest tolerance for quality and performance. In fact the other types of filters purchased do as well!
