The 49mm Formatt-Hitech Firecrest ND Filter is a solid neutral density filter providing an 8-stop reduction in exposure. This 2.4 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or longer shutter speed than normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily.

Will this filter fit inside the Wine Country ...
Will this filter fit inside the Wine Country Camera 150 mm x 150 mm filter vault? I see the Formatt Hitech is 4 mm thick. I think the Wine Country Blackstone filters are 2mm thick but I can find no information
to verify this.
The Wine Country filter holders have 2mm slots, so that filter is not compatible.

Are the stops marked clearly?
Are the stops marked clearly?
Formatt Hitech 67mm Firecrest ND 1.8 Filter (6-Stop) is a solid ND so it only blocks 6 stops. A variable ND filter would have marked stops on the ring such as this Tiffen: https://bhpho.to/2SR9RfT

Any problem with vignetting with the 77mm ...
Any problem with vignetting with the 77mm diameter at wide angle like 16mm? I am thinking of using it for canon 16-35mm f4
I've used it on my Nikkor 16-35mm without any vignetting due to the filter's low profile.
