going to be directly in the path of the total solar eclipse in Aug. shooting with a 500f4 lens. will Baader film taped to the hood, be strong enough to shoot partial> full eclipse without harming the lens?
eyes are fine..i can buy eclipse glasses on Amazon. when the eclipse is full, you do not need a solar screen or glasses to see the corona. It's the time before that, when it's partial, that you can burn your retina or fry the lens
