Pointing your camera directly at the sun can be dangerous for your camera. The bright, pointed light from the sun focused through your camera lens can burn a hole straight through your shutter blades.

Three winners will be able to choose among three amazing prizes: either a full-spectrum conversion service valued up to $1150, a pair of Kolari Shades – Basic Aviator-style, or three lens filters (CPL, VND, Streak, Flare, Mist, in your preferred thread size).

Our Kolari Pro 15-stop and 20-stop ND filters are rated safe for solar imaging. Our filters are optically engineered to be the most neutral filters in both the visible and infrared light spectra.

DO NOT look through the optical viewfinder on your DSLR camera when pointing it at the sun, even when using an ND filter, and DO NOT look directly at the sun through an ND filter. These filters are not rated for your eyes, and your eyes will be damaged if you do this.
