[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 717170, member: 9240"] Had I known about it ahead of time I would have at least purchased the step down ($25 from B&H), plus I originally thought it was Sunday and I was away. Got lucky. [USER=4923]@nickt[/USER] yeah that's my usual experience. There were strong clouds and branches across the sun in the first couple (nowhere else to go) but thankfully not where Mercury was. 12 stops is the minimum I'd use for the sun again, but I'd love to be able to do 15. I use dark sunglasses as well when I'm lining it up along with a "curtain" (think old view cameras) so I don't need to look towards the sun when reviewing. Lens gets covered with a ball cap until I'm ready to shoot. With the mirror plus the ND's I figure it's my eyes more than anything risking damage. Wouldn't do it with a mirrorless. [/QUOTE]
