To accommodate these advancements we have expanded our CPL (circular polarising filter) to 86mm. This means wider compatibility and better performance on a range of new wide-angle lenses. It also makes it compatible with a range of cinema lenses such as the Tokina 11-20MM T2.9.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe polariser can be fitted into either included rotating ring adapter and becomes an integral part of the holder. The polariser is operated with an easy to use thumbscrew. This allows you to set your grads and then dial in the exact polarising effect you want. Due to its free movement, this means you can leave the polarising filter (CPL) attached at all times and simply turn off the effect if not wanted. The construction of the filter also means you can use the CPL filter as an independent filter without the need for the holder.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMore step rings more flexibility.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor improved performance on an even wider range of lenses, the holder now ships with two rotating adapters as standard. These adapters allow the lens to sit closer to the filters helping with wide-angle photography. The kit includes an 86mm - 86mm rotating adapter and a 86mm - 82mm adapter. For best performance on 77mm and smaller wide-angle lenses, it is recommended to use the included step rings from the 86-86mm rotating adapter.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe holder frame\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe have made many subtle changes to improve the ergonomics of the holder, making it easy to hold and use even when wearing gloves in cold weather.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe frame itself is made from aircraft-grade aluminium and includes scratch-resistant ABS slots and an integrated light leak gasket. The addition of a gasket on the frame removes the need to add gaskets\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe holder now comes with two sets of covers, one vented for use with grad filters and a completely closed one for improved performance on long and extremely long exposure photography. The light guards add an extra level of utility for photographers who work in changeable environments. The holder also functions like any other holder without the guards when light leaks or reflection is of lower importance.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the spirit of flexibility, all holders ship with extra slots that can be used as spares or with the included longer screws to make it a three-slot holder, making room for an incredible four filters with the included 86mm rear mount circular polariser attached.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirecrest Landscape Kit by Colby Brown\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis Filter kit contains three essential filters, hand-selected by world-renowned photographer Colby Brown, and should be considered a “must have” filter kit for any serious landscape, travel, or outdoor photographer.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis kit includes the following items:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirecrest 100mm ND 1.8\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirecrest 100x150mm ND Soft Edge Grad 0.6\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirecrest 100x150mm ND Reverse Grad 0.6\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(NEW) Firecrest 100mm MKII Filter Kit\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e100mm Filter Holder\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoft Touch Outer Case\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e86-86mm Rotating Adaptor Ring\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e86-82mm Rotating Adaptor RIng\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e72-86mm Step Ring\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e77-86mm Step Ring\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirecrest 86mm Ultraslim polariser\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFilter pouches\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExclusive Colby Brown booklet","brand":"Formatt Hitech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40066529853537,"sku":"5052618190777","price":369.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/9657\/3025\/products\/colby-kit-100mm_2__1.jpg?v=1654861302","url":"https:\/\/carmarcameras.mom\/products\/formatt-hitech-firecrest-landscape-filter-kit-by-colby-brown-with-100mm-mkii-holder","provider":"Carmarthen Camera Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
