Hi all,

After a long research on which filters to choose, I finally choose the B+W 010 MRC.
Those one are very expensive in Belgium, and so I've check a lot outside Europe and find this eBay seller Roxen, here (external link) is the link where you can check those filters.

Do you find the price to be too low to be honest ? I mean can those filter be fakes ? They seems to be cheap compared to B&H... and others.

Can you please provide me your advices, ideas on the subject ?

Thanks in advance, and enjoy your weekend ;)

Laurent.

that's actually a little high for ebay sellers :) (but i don't know the prices to the UK). i use hvstar.net and i've been happy with them. the pictures look the same. one thing that makes a difference is that some of the B&W filters are brass while others are aluminium, the AL ones are cheaper.

i can't say much about that, i think mine are AL...

Ok thanks for the info.

So for you the price they pratice is not too low, seems to be a bit more expensive than other, so this doesn't sounds like fakes ?
I tought it was cheap for that kinf of filters, even under eBay.

hvstar.net is closed until the 15th December. Is it based in UK ?

hvstar can be trusted. They are in HK. i have bought off Roxen too and no problems. With hvstar double check the post and packing charge before you check out. The items are cheap but they seem to then charge P&P per item rather than per parcel. Still works out cheaper in my experience but worth checking it!

I have had great success buying B+W filters from ebay seller besteastern. They are also from Hong Kong. I have bought many 77mm 010 filters for $62 each shipped and been happy with all. fyi!
