I am trying to find out which solar filter to buy that will screw onto the RF 100-400 IS USM lens
Solved! Go to Solution.

Greetings marylou1660,
Though Canon USA is unable to provide recommendations for solar lens filters due to them not being manufactured or tested by Canon USA, we can provide you with some basic information regarding the handling of the lens and camera.

Greetings,
Your lens takes a 67mm filter. B&H has a good selection of solar filters. You can also buy mylar filters. These mount a bit differently. Do not point your camera directly at the sun without a solar or protective filter installed.

Can you tell me if the Canon new drop-in variable ND filter A, black, full-size (3446C001) will do the job?

I posted a question about solar filter for my EOS R6. I found a great screw on filter on Amazon

What no link to the filter? I am looking on Amazon now for a filter other than my Drop-in variable ND Filter A, Black, full-size.
