Thousand Oaks SolarLite Solar Filter for Camera Lens w/ 37mm Filter Thread 37-T
Thousand Oaks SolarLite solar filter film mounted in a threaded 37mm filter cell for camera lenses # 37-T. 1. Selecting the Correct Thread-On Solar Filter for your Camera Lens Like most camera filters, this solar filter is deigned to be threaded on to the front of your camera lens. To make sure that you buy the right size, please look at the front of your camera lens. The lens will state "ΦX" or "ΦXmm" where X will be a number. Make sure that your lens specifies "Φ37" to use this filter. This is the thread size on the lens - it is not the actual diameter or focal length of the lens or the outside diameter of your lens body. Also, note that the Sun is only approximately 0.5° in angular size as seen from Earth. Make sure that you know the angular field of view of your camera/lens combination to estimate how large the disk of the Sun will appear in your frame. You will therefore have to enlarge the solar image anyway, so longer zoom/telephoto lenses will provide the best results. 2. About Thousand Oaks Optical's Solar Eclipse Filters Safely view the Sun anytime and during all partial phases of an eclipse (filter required for all phases of an annular or partial eclipse). Not for use during the few minutes of totality when the Sun is totally eclipsed. May also be used to photograph large sunspots or planetary transits on the Sun's surface, provided the image scale provided by your camera is large enough. Thousand Oaks Optical's exclusive high quality black polymer SolarLite film substrates provide superior safety features, sharper solar images, and pleasing yellow-orange solar image. All solar eclipse filters meet CE/ISO safety requirements. The transmission is 1/1,000th of 1% (Optical Density OD 5). More than 20 million of their solar viewers, glasses and filters have been sold over the years. 3. About Thousand Oak's Solar Film Used in These Filters SolarLite: After years of R & D, Thousand Oaks has developed a new solar film that has the optical quality of the glass with the advantages of impregnated polymer (Thousand Oaks Optical Black Polymer). Images through this new SolarLite film are optically superior compared to the images from the older Thousand Oaks black polymer film. This new SolarLite film was released in very late 2016, so make sure that you get products with this newer SolarLite film. This film will never develop pin holes or scratches that can let in light and ruin a filter. Other advantages: Light weight and does not require re-balancing tube assembly, will not break, consistent yellow-orange solar image, even density with any aperture, flat surface. Slight creases or wrinkles or warps may be present, but these will not have any impact on the solar image. Will not tear or puncture. Stronger than any other solar film on the market. Guaranteed 15 years. 4. About the Company Thousand Oaks Optical is a leading US-based manufacturer of solar filters and films. They have been making these products for over 35 years, and their products have been used by NASA aboard the Space Shuttle. Other professional users include: ABC, BBC CBS, NBC, CNN, NOVA, The Discovery Channel, National Geographic and most major universities and observatories throughout the world. 5. Warning Never look at the sun without special eye protection. When viewing an eclipse, use this filter at all times when any part of the sun is visible. Do not look into an unfiltered telescope with this filter.

First Class shipments will take 3-5 days to arrive after we ship it. Priority Mail shipments will take 2-3 days. However, these delivery times are NOT guaranteed by the USPS. Delays of up to 2 weeks can occur in about 5% of the shipments. Tracking/Delivery Confirmation: eBay will update you once your order ships. You can see the order status or tracking information from your eBay account at any time. Shipping Cost: Click on the "Shipping and Payments" tab above and select your country to see your shipping choices and cost. If you need a shipping cost estimate for multiple items, please contact us. Delivery Time: 1) USPS First Class International: Delivery takes about 3-4 weeks after we ship your package. This can frequently take 4-6 weeks or more for several countries (8 weeks for Italy, Argentina, and South Africa; 8-12 weeks for Brazil). THERE IS NO TRACKING FOR FIRST CLASS SHIPMENTS. The information shown in your eBay account is just a customs form number - it is NOT a tracking number as incorrectly indicated by eBay. Once your package ships, we can do nothing but wait until your package arrives. Please do not become impatient and contact us in 2-3 weeks if your package has not arrived.

(2) USPS Priority Mail International: Delivery takes 1 - 2 weeks after we ship your package. This can sometimes take 3-4 weeks to several countries. The USPS provides some basic tracking information for Priority shipping. (3) USPS Express Mail International: Delivery usually takes 5-10 business days after we ship your package.

Note: If you use this option, you must send us your phone number when you check-out or else your shipment will be delayed. This is required for international postal forms. Again, these delivery times are NOT guaranteed by the US Postal Service. The most common reason for delays is slow customs inspection and clearance in your country, and can be very long, even for Express mail packages. Upon shipping your order, delivery delays are beyond our control, so do not leave us negative feedback or file a Paypal claim if your package is delayed. Delays are quite common but losses are very rare, so your patience/cooperation will be greatly appreciated. Customs and Duties: You are responsible for any duties and taxes that may be levied in your country. These are not included in the item price or shipping cost. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be or if they will be levied upon delivery. Customs policies vary widely from country to country (Some countries such as UK are strict about imposing hefty customs duties). It is your responsibility to check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the delivery company or your country's postal service, or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are NOT additional shipping charges. US Orders: Returns must be shipped back within 30 days. All returned items must be in brand new, resalable condition with original manufacturer’s packaging. A minimum restocking fee of 10% will be deducted if there is any evidence of use or wear, dirt, scratches, missing packaging/parts, etc. We may levy a larger restocking fee if the condition warrants it, or even refuse returns entirely if returned in heavily used/abused condition. Shipping fees are non-refundable (for items with free or discounted fixed shipping, the actual outbound S&H cost we incurred will be deducted) and you are responsible for all return shipping costs. Please contact us first before returning an item. International Orders: No returns/exchanges accepted unless the item we shipped is defective. Please research the product and ask us any questions BEFORE you purchase to make sure you are buying the correct item for your needs.
