Are these appropriate for use with a telephoto lens on a DSLR?
Asked by: Steve
Yes. The e DayStar Filters 50mm White-Light Universal Lens Solar Filter (Single, 50-67mm OD) can b used on a DSLR lens as long as the outer diameter is between 50-67mm. For larger diameter lenses they make the ULF70 (65-89mm) or ULF90 (90-109mm).

question

Why do they call this a White-Light filter? It captures a yellow/orange image.
Asked by: Dean W.
I do not know but from the test shot I took the other day, it worked fine and has a yellow tint, but that may simple be due to the color of our sun. They may have been trying to say Neutral density filter .

question

Will this fit a Nikon Coolpix L120?
Asked by: Anonymous
It simply depends on the diameter of your lens in millimeters. If it's between 50 and 69 mm in diameter then it will fit very nicely if it's smaller than 50 mm it will fit but be very loose and prone to fall off unless you tape it in place if your lens has a diameter or larger than 69 mm you will not be able to get the lens filter on to cover your lens.
