Just the thing for taking pictures of eclipses...
I didn't know that 20 stop ND filters existed until I looked this up. This material feels so dense that it's hard to believe that it's transmitting any light at all. I'm impressed with what materials scientists are able to accomplish these days... creating something this dark in a way this accurate. I can't begin to understand the underlaying techniques involved. I obviously picked this up to photograph the eclipse, which is probably why you're looking it up as well. I took this outside, put it on 200mm lens, pointed the camera at the sun (which runs counter to every instinct), and fired away. It works. It really works. I did discover that a 200mm lens on APS-C creates a less than compelling view of the sun, so I'm looking for something longer now.
