Formatt Filters are renowned across the world for the high quality and technical excellence of their
glass filters (including
HD-specific glass filters) and
camera filters. For technical details about Formatt's filters, please see this
how our filters are made PDF.
With
a career spanning half a century, Formatt's quality principles have
been clearly defined and have brought continued success in the design,
development and manufacture of some of the world's greatest glass
filters.
Formatt's ongoing research and development into glass
filters was originally set up by Reginald Morris, grandfather to the
Company founder, who worked for many years as chief physicist at Kodak,
helping develop what is now known as the 'Kodak Wratten Standard'. This
remains the world-wide standard in technical colour correction and
stands as the benchmark in all Formatt Filters production today.
Further
pioneering research in the 1980's resulted in a unique method of
colouring glass filters. This was the catalyst for a new level of
consistency and repeatability in filter manufacturing.
