This 6-stop, 82mm Solid ICE ND Filter has a 64x filter factor that provides a 6-stop exposure reduction. Its 1.8 optical 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. It features a slim aluminum alloy filter ring that helps prevent vignetting while remaining durable and lightweight.

Q: 3. Gonna be asking the same question here. Can I attach this magnetic light pollution filter to the Freewell magnetic VND system?

A: While the Ice 82mm Magnetic Light Pollution Filter & Magnetic Adapter and the Freewell Magnetic Base Ring for VND Filters (82mm) are both magnetic filters, the Ice filters have not been tested on the Freewell magnetic base. Also, the Freewell filters and magnetic base are special order items not kept in our inventory, nor are on display in our NYC Superstore. We cannot test these items for compatibility. There is a possibility the items may be used with one another, but we have no confirmation on this.

Q: 5. 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.

Q: 6. Does this work with the first model of the ice light?

Q: 7. Does the filter separate so you can place one end on the diagonal and the other on the eyepiece for easy adjustment?

A: Yes, the lenses of the Ice Variable Polarizing Filter (1.25") can be separated.

Q: 8. will the lens cap fit over the magnetic adapter ring (without the ND filter)?

A: Yes, a lens cap can fit over the K&F Concept Nano-X Magnetic Variable ND8-ND128 Filter (82mm).

Q: 9. Can you confirm this filter can be used to film the solar eclipse? What's the total time frame?

A: The Marumi 77mm DHG ND-100000 Solid Neutral Density 5.0 Solar Eclipse Filter (16.5 Stops) is unsuitable for photographing the solar eclipse. The filter does not cut harmful IR and UV light.

Q: 10. 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. If you plan on doing long exposures of the sun I recommend a filter that reduces UV and infrared like this one DayStar Filters 90mm White-Light Universal Lens Solar Filter https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1319794-REG
