I wasn't in the path of totality, but I used it for the eclipse. I'm still a beginner and have never tried to take eclipse photos before so I want to say this worked for what I needed it for.

Purchased for the April 8, 2024 eclipse and it was perfect. This is one of those items that kind of hard to write a review for since they really have one specific use, to shoot photos of the sun.
I didn't want to use the solar film due to worries over image quality, so I grabbed this for one of the lenses I was using. The photos came out better than I expected. Great for shooting images of the sun and visualizing the sun spots, or eclipse hunting. Plan to get more use out of this for upcoming eclipses and to take some random shots of the sun. It's too dark for just about anything else.
Nice filter, good quality, would recommend for those of you who might be looking to do some similar photography of sun and eclipses. Very happy with the purchase.

Used for the April eclipse in Cleveland April 2024. Never took shots of the sun before and didn’t know what to expect when shooting. I wish I would have bought a better telescoping Lens because this filter was amazing.

Just the right filter for taking excellent photos and videos of recent partial (in my location) solar eclipse.

Worked just great for the eclipse. With 1/1000s shutter speed. 58mm fits Canon lenses

I bought this for the eclipse, and when testing it, found it worked so well. Nice investment.

I got both the ND100000 (16.6 stop) and ND1000000 (20 stop) for the Apr 8 2024 eclipse. They both worked well. I used the 20 stop during full sun at ISO100 f8 exposed between 1/4 to 1 second. The 16.6 stop max'd out at 1/1000 sec during full sun, but worked great shooting thru thin clouds with about a 1 second exposure. These are a good inexpensive choice for solar photography. Sun spot will show but you need an hydrogen alpha (Ha) filter for solar flares. CAUTION As the amount of UV blocking is not known, don't use the optical viewfinder, instead use the electronic live-view screen to protect your eyes!

This was great for the eclipse. Took this shot zoomed in on a 250mm lens. f9, 100 ISO, 1/1250
