WHAT CONDITION THE CONDITION IS IN: 88-Day Confirmed Operation Warranty Fully functional and well-maintained, this filter doesn't have a scratch on it and has the original padded storage tin and inner paper sleeve (opened). Scroll down to learn why this filter thinks it's remarkable.

Consider, for a moment, the particular ambition required to point a camera directly at the sun. Not metaphorically, not poetically, but literally, with a telephoto lens and a cable release and the cool, slightly unhinged confidence of someone who has done their homework. You'll begin to understand why the LEE Solar Eclipse Filter exists.

Rated at ND 6.0, a designation that translates in practical terms to a reduction of roughly one hell of a lot of incoming light, it's a 100mm square of precision optical glass coated a deep, otherworldly blue. This isn't for aesthetics, but to suppress infrared radiation. It's fitted with a rear foam gasket that seals against your LEE100 or Foundation Kit holder with the light-tight conviction of a secret worth keeping.

It was engineered specifically for partial eclipse phases, which is to say it was built for a window of opportunity measured not in hours but in the slow, indifferent geometry of celestial mechanics.

Your images will need colour correction in post. Tricky to use for the usual long exposures over misty lakes or moody golden-hour gradients; it really has only one area of expertise, pursued with absolute commitment, and it doesn't like to be diluted.

The LEE Solar Eclipse Filter is sought-after and faintly legendary among the community of people who plan holidays around umbral paths.
