Awesome place, awesome prices (no where else is usually worth buying filters from), and great customer service.
Only downside is a longish shipping time of 1-1.5wks usually since they are across the big pond

May 27, 2009 18:52 | #24 Guess i am in the minority, I ordered 3 filters from them and only received 1 of them. it was very poorly packaged, the envelope the filters were in was already open when I received it. Either the 2 filters fell out or were stolen in transit. I received my order in 12 days, even with the holiday here in the US. I emailed them about this problem, I am just waiting to see what they are going to do, hopefully resend the 2 filters that did not make it here. The 2 filters that are missing cost half as much as the 1 filter I received. 5D IV, Rokinon 14mm, Zeiss 21mm, Rokinon 24mm 1.4, Canon 24-105L, Speedlight 430EX II

Since I started this thread I ordered one CPL from Hv star and one from B&H or Adorama ( I can not remember) just to compare. They were identical. I have ordered all my filters from HV star ever since and I have been surprised at the delivery time given the amount it has to travel. They have saved me a ton and I have only gotten brand new upopened items from the. I hope it all works out for you. I never, Not once claimed to read your post...

May 27, 2009 21:58 | #27 I wanted to order a B+W CPL from them, but they are recommending that I take the 30USD shipping option to India, instead of the usual 6USD route. https://www.instagram.com/ajaygargphotography/
