Filters that match the brushed metal look of the G3.

[ChanMan]

Are there any that u can suggest at affordable prices? I am interested in a matching UV filter.

Hello Chanman

I've never seen any. I would stick with filters from good manufacturers like Hoya et al.

But, maybe you could paint the edge with a matching paint?
If you could get the masking 100%, I think a cellulose car paint would work well. Be a bit tricky though. Or use some of thise little car "touch up" (or paint chip fix) paint pots with little brushes included.

On the masking, you could get 2 very cheap "sacrificial filters", you then screw them on each side of the filter, spray paint on and I think you could get a good finish. You'll never be able to paint the threads on the front side though (and probably don't want to, or you'll cause unwanted internal reflections) - so there's always going to be some bits black.

Hmm.

Mine are made in Japan (at least they claim to be) by Crystal Vision. They are made out of Titanium and look great with the G3. I got a set of them with lenses, etc. on eBay for pretty cheap. and would recommend them to you.

I found a Kenko brand silver brushed aluminum multi-coat UV filter. They only have 43mm size.
