Ordering CP filter....Comments

[mrclark321]

I think I am going to order this fiter for my 70-200 f/4. I do not have a filter for this lense and was thinking of this one. Comments would be greatly appreciated.
Also has anyone dealt with these sellers?

Are the prices much more at BHphoto?

Hoya, B&W, and Tiffen all make good CP filters.

Both of these are very good quality filters, but I'd go for the more expensive Pro 1 if only because it has threads on the front (see the comparison tables in both those pages). This lets you attach your normal lens cap. The S-HMC uses a push-on lens cap, and I'm not sure that's included.

Thanks for the reply, I think I will order this filter.

Well it looks like you may have saved $14 over buying it from B&H ... about a 2 burger saving! :lol:

[mrclark321]

I hope so, B&H wanted $20 to ship to Canada ( ouch ) and this guy wanted $2.50. Wont do me any good if I do not get it!! lol

I know what you mean about shipping costs. When using B&H I try to buy things like filters as part of a much larger order so that the shipping costs are spread out. Still, when I bought my B+W CP from B&H I would have saved a ton over buying from an Alberta store even if I paid the full shipping just for the filter.

Well I hope I do not have to pay duty!!

Seller's feedback is 100% positive... Seriously doubt he'll burn you. :)

I have bought from spotlight before and the delivery and service was outstanding. Spotlight photo is an active photography studio and I found the owner to be quite knowledgeable. By the way the owner is a she.

I've bought from spotlight before also. In fact, most of my Hoya filters were purchased from them. Like skyking42 said, they're all-around outstanding. Laura is the owner I believe.

A "digital" circular polarizer? And there was silly old me thinking that light was analogue.
