I love it

I am a photographer from Germany. The quality of the filters are very good. Unfortunately not available in Germany. So I will continue to order from America in the future. The service was very good and fast delivery. Thank you very much and kind regards from Germany.

So nice I did it twice

After I got one, I knew I was going to need two. It manages to make me 1/8 prettier.

Amazing Experience and Fast Shipping

The filters are awesome and pair well with my RED Komodo and RED Gemini cameras!

It is great.

It didn't even looked like an Open Box. I'm very lucky about this.

Haven’t used these on a job yet but I love their incredible customer service. These will be amazing for gimbal use since they’re half the weight and thickness of traditional 4x5.65” filter.

Great service and great product

I got the 82-82 rotating adaptor ring for my Firecrest 100mm filter holder. The product works great like all my other Formatt Hitech filters I have!

gold is good

This filter doesn't bloom highlights like my mist filter did and it doesn't get blocky in the shadows - it was worth the wait for royal mail to deliver to the states - so i ordered 3 more - thanks Philip

Firecrest Ultra Neutral Density (IRND) Solar Eclipse Filter

I was able to achieve great results of the 14 October 2023 using the Firecrest 100mm 18 stop Solar filter. It was the first time I’ve attempted eclipse photography and it was the perfect choice for me.

Outstanding products and service

I no longer have to worry about color casts from these great filters. The new holder is robust and well designed. I have always been happy to support this great company and have zero affiliation with it.

Getting the photograph that had eluded me.

It wasn’t until I had a place on a Landscape Photography workshop that the benefit of using ND filters became clear.
I would have preferred glass to resin.
Still the results are pleasing.

Help yourself

Achieving a balance that allows the depth to be fully featured in a good shoot is well worth it.
Put these on your birthday or Christmas wish list!
