leica - the price is about there, but you can try gope, maxphoto or AP.
b+w - b&h or adorama
heliopan - can try photographix at chinatown point

or there is always b&s or ebay...

You can say that again. I paid S$300 to Cathay for an E60 uv/ir. It's obscene.

Thank you everyone. Can't get good price locally and I am giving up
I guess, popflash with about S$100 + S/H not too bad, even after shipping.

new? uv/ir? S$100 sounds like the price a new UVa filter here...

There we go http://www.popflash.com/index.php?p=...=1311&parent=0. $67=$100 or so... been dealing with them long time when i was back in States. Cheers

US$67 is B+W UV/IR filter. Leica one is US$129

hahaha... got me going there for a second thinking it was leica. i don't think b+w uv/ir filters are brought in by any store in s'pore. so should compare prices offered by b&h and adorama.

CP does bring in B+W UV/IR filters, IIRC.

I was look for 39mm filter as well. In the end I bought it on ebay. If you're thinking about trying Sim Lim, then don't... I went there and most shops either thought I made a mistake with the size or they don't have it.

I think B+W make very good filters, other sizes can be found selling at SL but 39mm, you probably have to get it online.

I got my filters from mainline photo, B+W MRC 486.
back then they had no stock i waited for around 2 months...
good news is their stock is in from germany and you should get whatever you need fairly quickly.

Where is Mainline Photo? You got their number? PM me if not convenient to post here. Thanks!

Oh, I just googled to check, Mainline is in Australia? Thought they are a shop here.

[chanmin]

alamak paiseh... i forgot to mention its online. yes they are based in Australia.

for stock enquiries you can email Scott vanthoff : scott@mainlinephoto.com.au
DO NOT ORDER UNLESS HE CONFIRM HE HAS STOCK.

if not prepare to wait for what seems like eternity.
