Kase Revolution ND100000 Filter 112mm
The Kase Revolution ND100000 Filter 112mm is an ND filter that provides an exposure reduction of 16.5 stops. This filter is mostly used for solar photography. Thanks to the included magnetic lens adapter ring from Kase, the filter can be used on a lens with a 112mm filter thread on the front.
The neutral density of the filter darkens the entire image without affecting the colouration of the image. The multi-coating ensures accurate colours and sharp results during long exposures and prevents ghosting and flare. The lightweight and thin aluminium frame prevents vignetting and the easily recognizable orange serrated edge ensures a secure grip, for easy installation and removal.

If you’re planning on photographing a solar eclipse, whether it’s a total or partial eclipse, preparation and safety are paramount. The first thing to be aware of is that there are dangers associated with viewing a solar eclipse. Never look directly at the sun with your naked eye, especially not through your best telescope or binoculars. At best, you’ll burn your retinas; at worst, you could go instantly and permanently blind. Always wear sun glasses. This also applies to your camera with a telephoto lens, always use a good filter, which will significantly reduce the amount of light that comes through. Pointing a telephoto lens at the sun without any form of protection for your gear is a very bad idea. A telephoto lens increases the intensity of sunlight and can melt the sensor in extreme cases!
