[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 817883, member: 48483"] Time is a' wasting here, you need to buy now. You even want to practice just photographing the sun before the event. Your camera body is irrelevant. You get a filter that is matched to your lens. The filter size is normally printed on the lens body with the other specs it has. Then shop for a solar filter of the right size to screw on to the lens. The less expensive way is to make a homemade filter using the same solar film that is used in the cardboard eclipse glasses. Scissors and some medium-weight cardboard and some wide tape does the job.
