kent_phelan Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I am looking for filters for black & white use on a Schneider 72mm SA-XL lens. I have had a couple of B+W filters on backorder from B&H since April, with no ETA in sight. I'm looking for the usual suspects -- yellow, orange, red, green, etc. I leave for a trip in 2 weeks and need to find something in stock, new or used OK. All help appreciated. Thanks much.

Aoresteen Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I purchased a 95mm Tiffen 12 yellow from B&H a few years ago. It was pricy but I wanted the # 12. They said that B&W didn't make the #12. BEWARE! Tiffen filters from 86mm & larger are considered "TV" filters and as such you can NOT screw in a lens shade into the filter. They don't have front female threads! I had to keep it as it was a special order. I needed the filter for my 300mm f/4 Penatcon but now there's no way to attach the lens hood. Nikon 95mm filters pop up on ebay every now and then.

ian_maclennan Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Kent I use the very same lens and find it almost impossible to get the glass filters I want. I have been using Lee resin filters for a couple of years now - the quality is excellent plus the range is huge. Check out www.lee.co.uk for the range. I usually buy mine from Robert White : www.robertwhite.co.uk or +44 1202 723046. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_rasmussen Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 You might try Photomark in the Phoenix area. I bought a 95mm filter for my Pentax 67 there. Their phone is (602) 244-1133 or 1 800 777-6627 or email at info@photomark.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_phelan Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 Thanks to all! I bought a used 95mm B+W yellow filter from Chuck Farmer. It arrived today and is in perfect condition. I appreciate all your help. ---Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
