This is a wonderful filter that gives a pleasing white image. Great for photography as well. Arrived very well packed and adequate instructions for any one to make a decent and safe filter. Its very thin and so the wrinkles and waves in filter is not an issue for focus. Focus was sharp and consistent.

This film works great to make your own solar filters.

Works great. I used a 95mm UV filter as the support.

I got this for making a filter for the eclipse. It worked great, and I even made glasses to watch the eclipse. It is thin, and does wrinkle easily, but it didn't effect my vision or images. It worked very well (especially for the money).

Bought this for the solar eclipse when all the filters were sold out. It took a couple attempts to get it right, but I was able to DIY a cover for my camera. I ended up getting the shots I wanted.

This was just about the last item left for delivery on time to shoot the eclipse, and it was perfect. I used my lens filter to sandwich the paper between it and my lens and got great shots of the eclipse.

Thanks Adorama! Received 3 to 4 days before the solar eclipse. Made filter for 600mm lens, 200mm lens and two viewing glasses. The result were fantastic.

With the eclipse only 2 days away, I found exactly what I needed from Adorama and received it as promised. The film worked so I could take pictures of the eclipse.

The film worked perfectly, unfortunately the view on the BRP clouded over just before totality. I was, however, able to get some good shots while I could see it.

I purchased this film in order to accommodate my variety of cameras. I made my own solar filter for each of them, and for considerably less than the glass filters. This film is rated at 99.9% blocked light, which is sufficient to protect your equipment. ISO certified solar glasses are rated at ~99.997% blocked light though, so just to be safe, I used my cameras remote options to focus and change the settings rather than doing it through the viewfinder. This made beautifully clear images, was simple to work with, and I have plenty of solar film left over to use on future projects.

This product was recommended to me for the purpose of photographing the solar eclipse. The included instructions were a little bit confusing, but after re-reading them a few times I was able to create my home-made eclipse filters. There was enough film for me to make one for each of my two zoom lenses. My only complaint is that I was not able to get any color in the photos, but otherwise they worked great! I've saved the filters and will most likely use them again at some point.

It is a very thin delicate material. If I had bought earlier, I would have opted for a more robust material to make it easier to cut to size and mount. Other than that, it performed as advertised just fine.

Instructions were clear and worked well without artifacts.

HOWARD S.

The instructions were complete, giving me very serviceable filters for both my 150-600 mm telephoto lens and a set of binoculars. Both worked well during the recent total eclipse.

I waited too late to get an actual solar filter for my new 150-600mm lens so I was very grateful to have this Baader safety film! It did exactly what I needed it to do on eclipse day and it gave me several options for multiple filters. It was also much less expensive than a filter would have been. The eclipse photos and video I was able to shoot with it turned out just great, I'm so glad I was able to get this safety film and make my own solar filters!

The run up to the solar eclipse a couple of weeks ago left most nearly all camera shops and online retailers out of Solar Filters or raising prices 5 to 10 times higher than normal. So I purchased a sheet of the Baader film and made my own filters for several lenses and drove to Idaho to photo the eclipse as planned.

When you plan forever for taking a photo of the every 100 year eclipse, you search and find Baader. For my camera lenses and binoculars, Baader made it was more glorious than I ever imagined. Thank you Baader. PS - you should see the photos.

Along with the perfect weather in WY, my images taken with my Canon 5D stood out from others because of the clarity and the lack of color cast. The film is delicate and takes careful cutting and attaching, but the results are well worth the effort.

I used Badder Solar Filter to make a filter for my 5 inch telescope and was completely satisfied with the results. Now I can view the Sun when ever I wish.

I ordered this for the solar eclipse. I used it to make solar filters for my telescope, DSLR camera, camcorder, and binoculars and it worked perfectly. If you're making something larger, it would help to lay the film out flat ahead of time so it doesn't try to roll up while you're cutting it. The smaller size sheet was not available but I have plenty left over for 2024!

The Baader Safety Film far exceeded my expectations. It is an incredibly strong product yet easy to work with which allowed me to create several filters for viewing the eclipse.

Created homemade filter between two stiff pieces cardboard to mount over lens and sandwiched carefully cut filter paper between two uv filters. None of the pictures produced anything noteworthy.

Started shopping too late for a solar filter to photograph the eclipse, but this was a less expensive way to go anyway and did the job perfectly. I used poster board to build my own filter according to instructions inside the package and it worked out perfectly. This film produces a neutral white solar image without color skewing - I used daylight white balance. Was able to capture dark spots on the sun's surface.

Was effective when photographing the sun during the eclipse, and fairly easy to make. It was significantly less expensive than buying the ready made filter.

This solar film displays the sun in a natural bluish-white color. Material is coated on both the front and back with no pinholes found. Film is a bit difficult to work with due to being extremely thin. Also, need to wear cotton gloves to prevent oil from fingers contaminating the coating. Mounted in a square 100mm Cokin gel frame.

The astro solar safety film worked like a charm. Just follow the instructions and you can make your own filter. I even had enough left over to make a filter for my binoculars.

This film shows the sun white and not orange. Works very well with my 400mm telephoto. Sun spots were clearly visible.
