This 3-stop, 150 x 150mm ICE ND Filter from Ice is 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. The spec mention setting your WB to Daylight. Did you do that? I shoot in RAW so I’m not sure why a WB setting is necessary.

A: Although one might shoot a RAW file, it is best to make as many adjustments in-camera so that the post production is minimal, hence the recommendation for setting the white balance to daylight.

Q: 2. Is it safe to view the solar eclipse through this filter and the view finder on my Canon 5D Mk IV?

A: The Ice Magco Solar ND100000 ND Filter with Magnetic Adapter Ring blocks 16.5 stops of light and is therefore safe for solar viewing.

Q: 3. 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.
