Description
Firecrest Ultra Solar Eclipse filters use the same market-leading coating and bonding technology to produce incredibly neutral filters from 5.4 (18 Stops) all the way up to 7.2 (24 Stops). These filters are custom designed to allow you to produce incredible shots of a solar eclipse with no loss of color transmission or sharpness. Each individual component of the filter is calibrated to ensure accurate density of the finished product. As with all Firecrest Ultra IRND filters, the Firecrest Ultra Eclipse line have a built in infrared cut.
WARNING! Under no circumstances should these filters be used to view a solar eclipse with the naked eye. These products are STRICTLY for on-camera use. These filters do not offer the same level of optical protection as solar eclipse viewing glasses and using these to look directly at the sun before, during or after a solar eclipse could permanently damage your eyesight.
Formatt Hitech will not be held liable for any costs, associated expenses or medical claims relating to damage to your eyesight as a result of improper use of these filters.
Firecrest Ultra Filters for Eclipse
- Incredibly neutral thanks to Firecrest multi-coating technology
- Bonded to ensure the coating is protected giving the filter a longer lifespan than non-bonded, coated filters
- Lapped & polished to deliver unparalleled clarity
- Custom developed for shooting solar eclipse with no colour cast or loss of sharpness
- Will also work as ultra long exposure filters
Top Tip
Due to the extremely long exposure times these filters make possible, the risk of light leaking in through the camera body and manifesting in your shot is high. We recommend that you take steps to mask the eyepieces/viewfinders and ports to prevent this from happening. Many photographers use a low adhesive black tape for this purpose however it is your responsibility to ensure that anything you affix to your camera will not cause damage to the camera body or functionality. Another option is wrapping the camera in a thick black cloth although you should leave some areas of the body exposed to dissipate heat.
Even with the extreme density of these filters, we recommend you contact your camera manufacturer to assess the suitability of your camera for shooting directly into the sun. Formatt Hitech will not be held liable for any damage caused by continued exposure of your camera sensor to direct sunlight with or without our filters in place.

FORMATT HITECH AMBASSADORS
Although I enjoy all aspects of photography my real passion lies in long-exposures of landscapes, seascapes, and cityscapes. I came across the brand Formatt-Hitech after meeting one of their featured artists on a long-exposure workshop. When I saw the results of how you can control elements of nature with time, I realized I was able to bring out my love for art within the photos I took.
Andy Conway
In recent years I've been thrilled to have won national competitions and to have had work featured in both print and broadcast media. The award which means the most to me was winning the 70th Anniversary "Moments in Time" competition held by the Campaign for National Parks. Getting involved with CNP has led to some great opportunities, including being accepted into the Formatt Hitech Ambassador program.

Exploring the great outdoors really helps me to unwind from day to day pressures and balance the mind. I often become overwhelmed by the scenes in front of me and struggle with appropriate composition but since falling in love with long exposure techniques I can slow things down and sometimes turn a mediocre shot into something special.
