I expect to shoot the eclipse, it’s only a 3 hour drive to path centerline in Maine. I have a Nikkor ED-IF 400/3.5 Ai with TC14b, and also a modern Sigma 150-600 AF zoom. For bodies I have a D800e and an IR converted D7000, I haven’t decided which body goes on which lens yet. I got plates of welding glass at various darkness for about $4 each and plan to make something like a Cokin filter holder for the lens hoods. I can’t really afford multiple darkness of 122mm and 95mm ND filters. Edit:The optical quality of the welding glass is terrible. Just like cheap UV filters, don't put a $4 filter on a $1000 lens and expect good results.. I guess I'm not shooting the eclipse.
Does anyone know how an eclipse will look with an IR converted body? I don’t have enough IR experience to gauge it yet, but I’m guessing the corona will look different from visible light, hopefully in an interesting way.
Here is an old shot with the 400/3.5 + 1.4x converter (heavily cropped with a 12mp D700). I don't think it's been shared before.
