Safety Note

Before each use, inspect the film for pinholes, scratches, or tears. Do not use damaged film. Mount securely in a frame or holder to ensure no unfiltered sunlight enters the optical path. This film safely reduces solar intensity to ND5 levels for visual and photographic use. ISO 12312-2:2015 applies only to finished handheld and eyewear solar viewers; this raw film is not certified under that standard but is manufactured to meet ND5 safety requirements for optical filters.
