How much does IR filter costs?

Freed · 9th March 2005

How much does an IR filter 62mm costs? An approximation will do. Or if u can let me know how much u bought urs, and what diameter size, will be very helpful!!

Thanks in advance. Would like to know before I decide if I should head to the shops.

Hoya IR72:

I bought my 52mm IR72 for about $40. 67mm would've cost be $296, and would have to be special ordered due to low demand.

Are you serious??

catchlights · 10th March 2005

yes, I bought a 67mm @$88, last week.

Buggers at Cathay must have given me a wrong quote over the damn phone. I've never purchased IR filters of that size before, so i wouldn't know better. I didn't buy it anyway. PHEW!

So what?
If you go down to Cathey, ask for a R72 67mm filter, who dare to collect $296 from you?

Thanks guys. I am planning to get a 62mm one. Was comtemplating a 77mm... but dun think I can afford...

Think I should be heading to CP soon.

any idea what the 49mm one will cost?

eawtan · 11th March 2005

Hoya R72 estimated costs
- 62mm ~ S$50
- 72mm ~S$120
- 77mm ~S$200

Recommend getting a larger size (eg 62mm, 67mm or 72mm) and get step-up rings for your lens. 77mm is really expensive ....

Can use 67mm on a sigma 15mm fisheye (for digital bodies only)

See my post here

Moreover, can use the 67mm on 18-70 lense also!
