Formatt HD Filters
With a dedication to the high definition market, Formatt Filters has developed five new filters specifically geared to those shooting in HD -- HD Clear Soft Effects filters, HD Neutral Density filters, Clear UV HD filters and Circular Polarizer Filters. Both amateur and professional videographers, alike, can benefit from Formatt's revolutionary filter technology and use it to their advantage to take their filming and creative HD freedom to new levels.
Formatt's new generation of glass filters offers unparalleled standards in design and performance. The finest materials together with state of the art production techniques have resulted in a standard of optical perfection unmatched anywhere else. All Formatt filters are manufactured using Schott B270 Super White® optical lens glass that is precision polished and ground to ensure absolute optical flatness and optimum performance. Each filter is guaranteed flatness to a maximum 2 to 3 wave value and comes with an individual reading from a laser interferometer. Every filter is carefully verified with a densitometer and spectrophotometer to ensure consistent and accurate transmission before leaving the factory, resulting in an absolute purity of image that eliminates any unwanted colorcast caused by conventional greenish soda-lime glass.
HD Circular Polarizer and HD Clear UV

Polarizer | Formatt 138mm Round HD Circular Polarizer Filter
The Formatt HD Circular Polarizer is made with the Formatt A.C.T. methodology with a polarizing polymer sandwiched between two layers of Schott B270 Super White Crown Optical Glass. The same processes used on larger Formatt square filters is also applied to Formatt round filters as well. Formatt uses the only the highest grade UV and Polarizing Polymers available, and inserting the polymer between two layers of glass allows the user to clean the filter as often as required and without damaging the protective layer. This is especially important with the popular 1/3 inch chip for HD as well as when shooting wide-angles or in large light areas, where every speck of dirt or smear will be extremely visible.
By incorporating a truly advanced polarizing material with their optically pure water white glass, the Formatt Circular Polarizer delivers a reassurance you can depend on for your most demanding scenes.

Formatt 138mm Round HD Clear UV Filter
The Formatt Clear UV HD filter is a cleverly designed, optically clear filter which absorbs potentially damaging high energy UV light below 410 nanometers. It is also made with the standard Formatt A.C.T. methodology with a UV absorbent polymer sandwiched between two layers of Schott B270 Super White Crown Optical Glass. The Clear UV HD filter is intended to be used as an optical flat protection filter and is designed to protect the lens from physical damage while maintaining optical neutrality. This allows the user to choose color effects from other filters without having to endure the traditional coloration found in 1A and 2B UV filters. The high levels of transmission of this filter make it ideal for use in low light situations.
Protect your valuable lens investment with the Formatt 138mm HD Clear UV Filter.

Formatt Neutral Density Filters
Neutral Density filters are by definition colorless and uniformly reduce light of all wavelengths with no effect on the color rendition. Used in numerous applications Formatt Neutral Density filters help extend the exposure parameters and can be used in both color and black and white photography.
Standard densities: 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2
Formatt HD Neutral Density Filters have been specially formulated as a result of extensive research into new applications for molecular A.C.T. dyes. The filters give more of a neutral grey without the specular effects from the particulate coatings of the current neutral density and neutral density graduated filters, which allows the user more precise control. While Formatt HD Neutral Density filters are a new range, they have the same densities and light stops as the Kodak Wratten Standards.
Formatt's new Neutral Density Filters are a response to the many DPs and cinematographers who find that it is important to shoot as wide open as possible to minimize depth of field, especially with HD. In response to the professional demand for an optically correct and pristine neutral density filter for HD, Formatt designed its HD Neutral Density Filters, which are the ultimate solution to enhance color contrast and are ideal for normal light reduction.

Formatt UV Absorbing Filters
UV Haze 2b |
UV Sky 1A |
To help deal with diverse conditions of ultra-violet haze, fog and mist, remember that although you see only white light, both black and white and color films are sensitive to UV light. You must remove the UV light otherwise this can produce unacceptable color casts. You can achieve this by using one of Formatt's ultra effective UV absorbing filters. Although there are many types of UV filters available, depending on the level of filtration required, the UV Haze 2b and the UV Sky 1A are the most popular and offer extremely effective UV absorption.
SKY1A - Slightly pinkish in color, reduces blue casts in open shade and minimizes the amount of ultraviolet light reaching the film.
UV2B - Stronger formula, particularly successful absorbing ultraviolet radiation under clear sky conditions, reduces blue casts.

Formatt Supermist Filters
Supermist and Black Supermist
Designed for the demands of the motion picture and broadcast industry, the Supermist filter is the ultimate softening tool for creating a mood outdoors or indoors. Unlike conventional diffusing filters there is little loss of detail. Formatt Supermist Filters provide 8 levels of softening, with available densities from 1/8 (least softening effect) to 5 (greatest softening effect). Depending on the strength chosen they subtly or dramatically enhance a scene without reducing resolution.
In broad scenic or portrait, the Supermist is excellent for toning down excessive sharpness and reducing contrast by moderately lightening shadow areas without detracting from the overall image. Clear Supermist amplifies highlights but slightly reduce contrasts. Black Supermist reduces highlights without affecting contrasts. Warm Supermist combines the classic Supermist with Formatt's unique warm tone enhancer, adding natural warmth. This is useful in outdoor open shade situations where there is excessive blue in the image and total control over lighting may not be possible.
