A post just prior to mine mentioned this product but the subject of the post is ambiguous so I thought I'd create this thread.
https://www.formatt-hitech.com/en/products/Firecrest-16~184.htmlFormatt-Hitech has released a new product called the "Firecrest" ND and grad ND line.
They claim neutral color and excellent IRND filtration.
The 100mm X 100mm 16 stop FireCrest ND is only $160 US
Having just recently spent a LOT of money on a set of Singh-Ray 100mm x 100mm 5 stop ($350), 10 stop ($415) and 15 stop ($590) filters, I'm wondering the following:
1. Are these Firecrest ND filters as good as they Formatt-Hitech claims?
2. Are they better than the Singh-Ray filters despite a $430 price difference in the case of the Firecrest 16 stop vs. Singh-Ray 15 stop?
I'm still within the return limits for the Singh-Ray filters and would return them in a heartbeat if I could save a ton of money and get the same or better image quality.
Any opinions?
