[QUOTE="hark, post: 660102, member: 13196"] Yan, since you mentioned wanting to photograph the next eclipse, keep watch of solar filters or read up on how to make your own. Moab Man said he created one himself. From what I've seen, solar filters tend to be around 15.5 stops (the sun's rays are too intense for sensors). You can also stack a couple of ND filters as long as they total at least 15.5 stops. If you don't use a filter when photographing the sun, then most likely you will damage your sensor.
