Filters for the Solar Eclipse
How's this?
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...se_filter.html
I'll be using a D7100, Nikkor 55-300DX f5.6 with a doubler
Would one want to use a polarizing filter too?

Anything rated for solar photos should be fine. No reason to pair it with a polarizing filter though.
I got a couple filters from here: http://thousandoaksoptical.com/products/solar-filters/
They sell both threaded filters for camera lenses and "sleeve" filters for optics w/o filter threads, like a spotting scope.
I bought a threaded 95mm filter for my Tamron 150-600 lens and S-4250 for the spotting scope.
Whatever you do, I would order ASAP. When I ordered mine a month ago, they were already running 3 weeks behind.

77mm would work for my 70-200 lens.
