This filter reduces light values by 8 2/3 stops to just 1/400th of its original intensity and allows safe photography.
Photographing solar eclipses and ultra-bright light sources can be extremely dangerous.
It can also be used to achieve super slow shutter speeds in daylight to render moving subjects invisible.
These filters are affordably priced, but they have multiple coats on both sides to achieve a filter transparency of approximately 98%. The MC series consists of basic lens-protection filters such as Protector, UV and 1B Skylight. Despite their reasonable prices, MC filters use quality materials for the glass and filter frame so that reflection on the lens isn’t interfered with.
