The LEE Filters SW150 Solar Stopper ND filter is a high-performance neutral density filter in a square 150 × 150 mm design, which is designed for the SW150 filter system from LEE.
It is particularly suitable for demanding applications such as solar photography, where extremely strong light reduction is necessary to avoid overexposure.
- The filter produces uniform darkening across the entire image field without harsh transitions or gradient effects.
- The integrated gasket, in combination with a compatible SW150 filter holder, ideally with a light shield, minimises stray light between the filter and the objective.
- The filter contains a weak blue tint (blue cast), which is deliberately embedded in the material to attenuate IR (infrared light) components that can cause problems with digital sensors.
The filter is not suitable for viewing the sun directly with the naked eye and is not a substitute for certified solar filter glasses or safety precautions.
