FL-B 67mm filter

lanxx · 5th December 2003

Anyone know where to get them in SG?
Super hard to find as thses are specialised filters that can be
used for u/w photography.

KTHAN, you think hong kong has them at a resonable price?

I got my 67mm close up lense from Ang Mo Kio MS colours. Dunno if they have what you want though.

ok, Cathy photo doesn't carry them

at the digital work shop the guy introduced a R72 filter when combined with b&w function, and some touch up with photo shop can produce really nice picture, looks like a pencil shading picture of the actual thing, very very nice

The reason why Lanxx asked for this filter is becos he wants to try strobeless underwater photography.

Will check for u when I'm in HK, Lanxx. What's the price like in USA?

anywhere from USD 20 to 300+ USD.
So hard to judge.

So long not more then SGD 40-50, think still reasonable.
FL-D 67mm filter in SG is already $34 after discount.

The store in Cathy photo. How to ask them bring it in when they say:
'where got such filter as FL-B? never heard of it before!'

You say leh?

kthan · 22nd December 2003

i have asked around...there is FL-D and FL-W, no FL-B. D has pink tint and w has blue tint.

the price is HKD 180 for Hoya 67mm......

lovells19 · 22nd December 2003

maybe FL-D = FL-B

should be getting one.. my present one is like a big red lantern :P buy wrong one.. Wailllsssss

sehsuan · 22nd December 2003

by the way, this filter is meant to be wet-mount, right?

so in the end, was it a FL-D that lanxx bought?

lovells19 · 22nd December 2003

i suppose so.. :P
yeap he bought a FL-Day

wah piang! any more? :P

lanxx · 23rd December 2003

Sorry, one and only piece. I was just damn lucky and I msg the lady and she ended the auction(since no one else bidded for it) and sold it to me on the spot.
She said tiffen do not make them anymore.

Think lots of company do not make them anymore and esp in 67mm, unless you pay lots of it.

But FL-B is more for bluish water, so guys, I suggest you get the FL-D instead, which is more suited for Malaysian waters(greenish), unless you can get a great bargin.

yeah meant as a wet mount,
I bought the FL-D.

Maybe you guys should do a MO and get it cheaper?

ok.. i found some 67mm filters on ebay.

but problem is they don't have this FL-D etc etc

they got this Skylight 1B 1A.. so are they they same?
but they are relativetly cheap as compared to getting them locally..

average USD1-USD19.99

they even sell close up filter set +1+2+4 at $19.99USD

anyone can clear my doubts?
