I bought this in advance of the solar eclipse. Probably could have gotten away with a less strong filter. Next time (if I'm still alive then) I think I'll try a ND100,000 filter instead as this one blocked out so much light that it was basically a black and white image when taking photos of the solar eclipse.

I needed a solar filter once we decided we'd try to view the April, 2024 solar eclipse...weather permitting...since I have replaced both the camera and the lens that I used for the previous eclipse (2017). Weather permitted, and the filter worked well. Can't really say the same for the camera + lens (focus issues that I occasionally have, even without a filter), but the solar filter worked well. I appreciated the lack of colorization of the sun (it looks light gray in the properly-exposed images, while my previous filter made the sun look orange or yellow orange). Sunspots were visible, too, so I may use the filter occasionally for sunspot photos in the future. The filter can also be useful with or without a camera to view very bright lights. The filter came with a nice hard-plastic protective case that is easy to use. It also included a couple of cleaning cloths that I haven't used, so can't really describe here.

This is one of those things you don't use often, but when you need it, you NEED it. I wanted to protect our rather pricey camera when filming/photoing the exclipse, and this did a great job. Very happy.

Just used this filter to catch the eclipse and it worked perfectly!
A filter with this many stops of nd is a necessity for taking pictures and/or videos of the sun, and this one worked great!
Super dark and the optics are nice and clean.
Threads are smooth and it's very well made. K&F makes some really nice filters!

I have a really nice Nikon....and have always hesitated to buy anything but Nikon products for it. I did this time. Wow. I'm impressed! I'll be staying with this filter brand.

I bought this for the eclipse coming up in April. and if it’s cloudy it’s still a great filter for taking pictures of the sun. The price was great as well.

Just received it yesterday. Haven’t had time to use it yet.
Seems to be very well made. K and F has very good products.
Should work great…
