Sourcing a 46mm Polarizing Filter

Kintarō Hattori · 2008-05-28 16:40:52

Hey Guys, I've been into Conns Camera's, the Camera Exchange, Alliance Electric and Pixels looking for a 46mm polarizing filter. I see a few available on eBay but they ship from China and I'd be suspicous of the quality. Can anyone tell me where I can pick up a reasonable quality one? Many thanks.

Hi -
I suggest that you buy a bigger sized polarizing filter and also thing called a stepping ring. It is usually a good idea to buy filters to fit your biggest lens and use stepping rings to make it fit your smaller lenses.

Hi Kaz,

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I have a bridge camera so I'm stuck with the one lens.

I see so you are stuck between technologies... oh well each to his own.
The stepping ring should still work though especially if your only other choice is waiting ages or buying from a less than optimal source.
