Wonder if this would be good for sunrises and sunsets. Have a sigma 24-70 2,8.

This would have been handy for me a few months ago during the total eclipse. I spent almost the same amount on a sheet of solar film.

I will buy this now in hopes that one day I can afford a Sony 24-70 2.8 to use it on.

I know very little about photography but recently took a basics class and am very interested in learning more. I have a Canon Rebel T5. It came with the standard and a telephoto lens I believe. My quick googling seems to suggest that those have a diameter of 55, much smaller than that of this filter. Can anyone confirm whether this would work or not with my camera? Thank you!

no as 82mm is too large. but if you get something like this a step up ring adapter it will work.

Typically lenses will have it printed somewhere what diameter the lens is for adding various filters. It's possible to use larger diameter filters (like 80 mm) on smaller diameter lenses (like 55 mm) by using one or more step up rings that people have mentioned before.

Most likely the answer is yes by using step up rings, but I can't be certain since I don't have the lenses in front of me to look at its diameter.

Side note: If you haven't yet, I highly recommend checking out the book Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson. It helped me out a lot when I was starting out.

You can use a step up ring for smaller diameter lenses.

Removing people/moving objects, light effects (think about car lights on busy highway at night)

Video work on bright days since you're shutter speed will be 1/120 at the fastest and if you're doing video with fast aperture you need to be able to not blow it out. Even at ISO 64/100 whatever camera can go to base wise 1/120 and f/1.8 or even 2.8 can be way overexposed.

For the price, it was hard to pass on. (my other ND filter was too small for my largest diameter lens)

For those who are new to the long exposure photography. This is fun and it allows you to create something special. Just google "long exposure photos" and see the samples.

The most common cases are -
1. Smooth the water. Waterfalls will look magical.
2. Cityscapes. You can remove moving people or cars from the composition (or have "ghosts" on your images).
3. Special effects - Night lights in the city, moving stars, etc
4. Compensate for very bright light conditions when you shoot wide open.

Speaking of this filter - it is way too dark and will have limited usage for #3 and #4. For example, 1/100s "normal" shutter speed will require 11 minutes with this filter for the same exposure. And likely, you'd have to do several shots to make it right. Don't take it wrong - for $25 I am definitely including it to my kit as the 4th filter (I have 3, 6 and 10 stops ones). But I wouldn't take it as the only filter for my needs and expect very little usage from it.

Though, it may be a good opportunity to check if you like the long exposure. Grab it and the cheap $20 tripod and go play around in a sunny day. Just be prepared to invest into the good lightweight travel tripod ($200+) and quality filters ($300+) if you like it. Word of caution- get quality ND filters to avoid color cast low-quality ones tend to produce.

P.S. step up rings are fine, but you are going to shoot without the lens hood. This may lead to the flare when you shoot at specific angles towards the sun.

P.P.S. Hardest thing with the long exposure photography is convincing your family to stick around while you are taking the photos Smilie

Ha, I agree with this, especially if you dabble in variable ND filters. I cheaped out on a couple New Neewer VNDS and past stop 5, the color cast gets crazy. I might grab this for some long exposures when I head toward the beaches in "winter" here in Florida.
