Q: 3. Is this filter ISO certfied?

A: If by ISO certified, you mean is it certified for visual (eyeball) use - not to my knowledge. This filter is intended for photo use only. For visual observation, use a filter intended for direct visual observation of the sun. I'm using the Hoya filter on a Canon PowerShot SX50 for taking photos of the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed sun using the LCD viewfinder. Don't use the optical viewfinder! Safe visual solar filters are readily available and cheap.

Q: 9. Will this filter ever come in grade 1/8 black mist?

A: PolarPro 1/4 Black Mist blooms highlights by a similar amount as a PolarPro 1/8 Gold Mist. The difference is the gold mist has a warmer tone to the bloomed highlights. PolarPro does not make the PolarPro Peter McKinnon Chroma VND/PL Black Mist Filter (82mm, 2 to 5-Stop, Grade 1/4) in 1/8 grade. They say that if they made Black Mist in 1/8 grade it may not show any effect in certain situations.

Q: 10. Does it meet viewing specification for safety?

A: The Hoya 77mm ProND-100000 Neutral Density 5.0 Solar Filter (16.6 Stops) BH #HOND10000077 • MFR #XPD-77ND100000 will protect a cameras sensor but not the human eye: SAFETY FIRST: Observing the Sun without the proper protection may result in serious personal injury, including permanent eye damage and blindness, and/or damage to equipment. Never point an optic at the sun without an approved solar filter on the front of the optic. For direct solar viewing, viewing the sun through an optic, or when using cameras with an optical viewfinder, ensure your filter is ISO 12312-2 (also written as ISO 12312-2:2015) certified. Never use photographic neutral density filters for direct solar viewing, viewing the sun through an optic, or when using cameras with an optical viewfinder.
