Firecrest Ultra are the next generation in Neutral Density filtration for photographers. Firecrest remain the only professional-grade filter that is bonded to protect the coating in the centre of the filter giving the filter enhanced durability over coated products and protecting your investment.
By utilizing Firecrest Ultra, we have expanded upon our techniques by implementing "lap and polish" on the filters, a method previously exclusive to our cinema-grade filters. In addition to Firecrest's exceptional neutrality and resilience, our filters now boast improved clarity and sharpness, making them the most optically flat ND filters in the photographic industry, regardless of focal length.

What Are Neutral Density Filters?
ND filters are crucial for digital photography and cinematography, as they reduce light intake and enable photographers to achieve desired effects such as:
- Ethereal waterfalls and streams
- Flat water effect in oceans and lakes
- Streaky clouds
- Motion blur in sports
- Long exposures to remove people from public areas
- Shallow depth of field using fast lenses wide-open
- Adjusting aperture for cinematography
Firecrest Ultra 100x100mm Standard Neutral Density Filters offer a revolutionary advancement in ND and IRND technology, setting a new standard for precision light modification. These cutting-edge glass filters provide unparalleled neutrality across the visible light spectrum and have the highest IR contamination removal capabilities compared to any other filter - solidifying their position as the top choice for IRND filters.
Firecrest is a radical departure from how ND filters are manufactured. Previous generation NDs were made by dying resin. Firecrest is not a dying process, it is a rare earth metal coating process that is applied directly to the glass through an electrolytic process.
When utilizing rectangular filters, the advanced Firecrest coating is placed between premium Schott Superwite optical glass, significantly enhancing durability and resistance to scratches. This cutting-edge technology effectively decreases all levels of light, including UV, visible, near-infrared, and infrared, with exceptional evenness.
