Quality solar filter - Just what I needed
This is a well made and functional solar filter. I purchased the 82mm diameter version, ND1000000, 20 stop for use with a Fujifilm 150-600mm lens. The filter has a sturdy metal frame, with raised grooves to assist in loosening and tightening the filter. The filter itself is glass, but quite lightweight. It installed easily and securely to the lens, and allowed the lens cap to go on over the filter. It also comes with a nice carry case when not in use.
The images of the sun with auto white balance come through in a neutral gray color, but boosting the white balance to a manual 8,000K gave a more pleasing yellow hue.
My only question that I’m looking to have answered is the IR transmission of this filter. I want to make sure if I have this pointing at the sun for several hours during the upcoming eclipse (taking interval photos every five minutes or so), will enough infra red wavelengths come in to heat up and damage the camera sensor.
Certainly a quality product and great for solar imaging.
