Formatt-hitech Reviews

What you see is not what you get

I bought the nightscape filter the picture on the website for this filter shows the filter WITH a lovely padded pouch and a lens cloth If the pouch is anything like the three I have already had from Formatt-Hitec then they are really good quality well made magnetic closure space for label Neither of them were included in the package Instead a thin bag for the filter I have emailed the company twice to no avail The website is thus completely misleading

Been using these for a few years now

I have been using the Formatt-Hitech filters for the past few years for all my work These filters are 2nd to none and the customer service is exactly the same as well The staff are very knowledgeable about the products and delivery is very quick as well

The only filter brand I trust

There s only one brand I trust to make a product that gives me the quality of results I need The fact they also have great customer service is a bonus

The best filters on the market

The best filters on the market with a great price point Amazing quality and amazing market Dept ready to hear you and give advice The best

Fantastic filters and filter holders

Fantastic filters and filter holders they are the only ones I carry in my bag Also their after sales service is second to none

Ultra sharp

I ve been using the Firecrest Ultra two and three stop soft grads mostly with longer telephoto lenses to photograph wildlife in the wider vista These grads maintain incredible sharpness and clarity throughout with no appreciable loss by using them with lenses at 400mm The holder is very well made with a reassuring grip on the filters The geared polariser wheel is easily accessible and the polariser itself is also of superlative quality with sharpness and quality Filters come in good quality packaging with wallets that are perfectly suitable for use in the field I used to use simple screw-in polarisers especially in Kenya and South Africa but the Formatt-Hitech holder system allows them to be added and removed from the lens much more quickly Storing the polariser in the holder is much safer too especially in safari vehicles

Exceptional product exceptional service

Having used numerous brands of photographic filters over the years none of them in my experience meet the optical quality that you get with Formatt Hitech Many photographers spend thousands of pounds on camera bodies and lenses to get the best quality image possible and then then skimp on products like filters The Formatt Hitech filters perform fantastically they are ultra sharp and no discernible colour cast even when stacking multiple filters together for extreme long exposure Not only are the products excellent it is backed up with exceptional customer service I cannot rate them highly enough

Amazing filters

Amazing filters fantastic colour neutrality and very durable I ve had mine for over a year now and there s none with scratches on despite heavy use week in week out The filter holder is great with the built-in polariser and the graduated ND filters are a joy to work with

Excellent quality neutrality brilliant customer service

I ve been using Formatt Hitech for a number of years and find the clarity and neutrality of the Firecrest glass to be excellent The holder is innovative and when compared to other makes feature-rich and amazing value On the very rare occasion I ve needed to seek help from the company the service I ve received has been outstanding and to my mind that s the mark of a great company
