Briefly, trying to encourage photography for my two granddaughters I bought them Canon Rebel T6i and the T8i, and I have the T7i. I have asked everyone I know about what filter we need for the solar eclipse in our area in 2024. No one seems to know. Several years ago, I was late in the game and had to make filters with expensive "film" I bought--it was an awful process and I want the right "real" filters.
At this time I have to review their lenses, I know I need a 58mm filter for "up to 300" lens. I need to find out their lens size, I forgot but they have either the 300 or 400 size.
You can tell I am not a professional--
Thank you
Hi MJ!
Thanks for asking about the best solar eclipse filter for your Canon Rebel t6i, t7i, and t8i cameras. Just reminding all our readers that safety is important when photographing a solar eclipse. That goes for protecting your camera sensor and even more importantly for preventing damage to your eyesight.
