The most likely answers are no or maybe. Make absolutely sure that you have the correct filtration or become a blind photographer. The site for the most guaranteed correct information is NASA.gov. go to NASA.gov and enter "eclipse" in the search block.

The answer is, " if you value your camera and more importantly, your only eyesight you will ever have, the answer is NO!

You need a minimum of 16 stops of light reduction. If you can get that with your filters, then then answer is yes. If not, then you need to buy something else. I am using my Heliopan V-ND (6 stops max) with a Hoya Pro ND 1000 (10 stops) that I just bought.

Only if you'd like to go blind AND destroy your camera at the same time. Folks continuously confuse "dark" with safe viewing. It is the ultraviolet light that will destroy your eyesight. ND filters do NOT filter out the damaging UV. You must use a filter SPECIFICALLY made to safely view and photograph the sun. The links that others have provided you are good resources to review. Please be safe. I am not trying to be harsh, I have been an amateur astronomer for 40+ years and a very avid solar astronomer and posts like these really scare me. There is still time to order and receive the proper filtration for this event.

I have welding goggles with #14 lens. My understanding is that this will be good enough. Opinions?

Yes, a #14 welders lens is safe for solar viewing. Nothing less.

You should read some articles on taking pictures of the sun and understand what they are telling you. You do not bother to say what the value of the ND filters are. Most of the photographers on here have no clue just how bright the sun is.

Bought a solar filter from Thousand Oaks optical...works like a charm...it is so effective that finding the sun takes some practice...enjoy!

Your statements are 100% correct. It scares me too, especially since I came within a half a second of blinding myself. After that, I learned to do things the right way concerning viewing the sun. No more close calls.
