This 3-stop, 100 x 100mm Ice ND Filter 100x100mm 3-Stop for Photographyfrom Ice ND Filter 100x100mm 3-Stop for Photographyis an ND filter with an 8x filter factor that provides a 3-stop exposure reduction. Its 0.9 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed without overexposing your image. By slowing your exposure time, you can create motion blur for special effects or to convey a sense of movement. Opening your iris allows you to create shallow depth of field, which can help isolate your subject. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

This neutral density filter is constructed from tempered, optical glass for shock resistance, clarity, and color fidelity. A plastic case is included for storage and transport.

Q: 1. Is this filter, ND100,000 safe to photograph the sun? For a prolong period like a solar eclipse , 4-6 hours?

A: 4-6 hours is a lot. Usually an eclipse you take a photo that is fractions of a second. This ICE Magco Solar filter does not list reducing UV and infrared.

Q: 3. I have a vivitar 0.43x wide angle filter that accepts 62mm filter threads. I'm considering getting this Bower 62mm Variable ND filter and a 58-62 step up ring so I can use it on both the wide angle filter and my Canon G40's lens. My question is; would there be any amount of vignetting that would render the use of the ND filter on the wide angle filter pointless? How much of a vignette should I expect?

A: I can confirm what Roland said, this filter becomes unusable at its maximum/darkest setting. Roll it back just a bit and it's fine, but do keep that in mind.

Q: 6. I do not have a lot of experience with Neutral Density filters. I bought one that is a 10 stop, and I did not realize that I would not be able to see through it. So it is much more work setting up my shot. Will I be able to see through a 3 stop filter?

A: Put the camera on a tripod, manual focus then screw the the filter on carefully. Cover the viewfinder as light leaks on long exposure. Take the photo with a cable release or 2 second timerIt is for very long exposures for minute. Cool cloud effects. i doubt if you could see throu the 3 stop either. They all are for tripod use

Q: 7. Can I hand-hold a camera with this filter on and take pictures of the sun's sunspots?

A: The Ice Magco Solar ND100000 ND Filter with Magnetic Adapter Ring (77mm, 16.5 Stop) could be used for photographing the sun, but only for very short-term use. This filter does not protect your eyes against UV and IR light. Instead, get the MrStarGuy 77mm Thread-in White-Light Solar Filter, BH #STSG77MMSO. This filter protects your eyes from damaging UV and IR as well as white light. You can shoot at a fast enough shutter speed to hand-hold the camera.
