Solar film or Thousand Oaks?

Hi All,

I may be going to China in time to see the Total Solar Eclipse and have a quick question re solar filters.

I am thinking of buying a DSLR (to be given to my son later ) in my travels and with this I intend to take some eclipse shots (weather permitting)

Now, the question is; What should I get to cover the front aperture of a DSLR lens to SAFELY and with good quality, take photos of the eclipse?

I have seen a few glass Thousand Oaks versions but there are so many choices and different styles, I am hoping there is a pretty much standard size to fit over the lens of a DSLR in the Pentax or Nikon range.

I hope thats not too vague.....

Can anyone advise on something thats not too expensive please?

Cheers

Chris
