Hi Everyone.

I am interested in purchasing a solar filter for my B700 to view solar eclipses, and wanted your opinions. I noticed that there is an adapter for the B700 on Amazon that will allow you to use any 58 mm lens, but it uses an adhesive to stay on the camera, and I don't want to mess up my camera if it doesn't work. Here is the link:

I wanted to see if any of you have used any filters with your B700 and your thoughts.

Thanks.

I think it is 62 mm for the B700, but it has worked well on the compacts I have seen with one. The adhesive isn't the stickiest there is, but if you clean the area where it will adhere well on the camera, it works without problems. Remember to get a LC-62 lens cap or a copy as well as you won't want to have to remove the adapter to put a cap on.
