So far I used this lens on my EOS cameras with the simple Canon EF to RF mount adapter for nightly astrophotography and daily urban architecture. The eclipse gave me ideas I'd like to test with the sun, so I need a solar filter.

There are Canon versions of that mount adapter allowing drop-in filters but only CPL and small stops ND. Breakthrough Photography has Canon compatible drop-in filters but doesn't provide solar filters -- as far as I saw the best they have is a variable drop-in ND filter up to 16 stops which doesn't cut IR or UV enough so it's a no.

Up to recently I though that front filters didn't go on this bubbly lenses but I came across this YouTube lens review (for the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 sony mount though but still) where at approximately 7min34s the guys starts putting a front filter mount on the lens.

The guy doesn't mention the filter on the gear he lists in the details of the video, but it looks like the NiSi S6 ALPHA 150mm Filter Holder that has even a version dedicated for my 20mm lens. But NiSi doesn't provide a 150mm solar filter though. I looked for analogue filter mounts from others brands, found nothing.

What would be my options?

Hello all,

I am using the reddit app on a smartphone (s26 ultra, official reddit app) and also on firefox nightly on Windows 11 from home with or without proton VPN, depends. No issue at logging, even if at some point I did not have access to my profile but it seems to have resolved itself.

A couple a minutes ago I tried to log in to my reddit account from firefox Windows 11, but at work, and had a "servor error please try later".

What should I do ?

Thank you very much in advance!

I own a Lowepro flipside that I really like a lot, but it is way too small for the current setup I plan to go on vacation with :

\- Canon r5 + grip + RF 100-500 + lenshood

\- Canon r6m2 + RF 24-105 f/4 + lenshood

\- Sigma 20mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART - Canon EF Fit + Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R

\- Leofoto Carbon tripod LS-324C Ranger + Ballhead LH-40

\- Leofoto PG-1 Gimbal Head

\- Several Canon batteries

\- Three Canon LC-E6E Battery Chargers

\- A standard Zeiss cleaning kit

\- A four filters Hoya flat pouch with filters in it

\- Dell XPS 16 + charger

I don't think any Lowepro flipside would fit, and I am leaning towards a pro trekker, precisely the Pro Trekker BP 550 AW II. But is too big ? I went to see a Shimoda x50 I guess, barely can fit two DSLR. Also looked at a Tenba axis v2 32L which would seem to do the job.

What would you recommend?

Hi all !

I bought the Leofoto LS-324C tripod with the LH-40 PCL ball head already mounted on it. So far so good except for long and fast action (birds mainly). I would like to use the Leofoto Gimbal PG-1 on the tripod ? Is it compatible. Stupid question : how to remove the ball head from the tripod ? (Nothing is mentionned on the manual that came with the tripod.)

Thanks !
