Think the buy and sell section have, go see see... It should no more than S$50...

It will depend on the brand you are buying. Some will be much more expensive.

Pls telephone a camera shop and get a quotation. No one here is a living price guide.
 

from John 3:16
Hoya $35
Kenko $75

Depending on size, price varies.

Those branded ones like B+W and Helio will set u back more than $100
 

May I ask why you want to get a CPL for a telephoto lens? They are more commonly used on wider lenses than telephoto ones.
 

haha so it would be much better to be on a 50mm f/1.8 II? thanks for the details and price people! eh is it possible or sensible to get a closeup filter on my 75-300 III USM? how much would it cost me? and what size must i get? how to read from the lens what size to get?

sorry so many questions!
 

i guess you can put any filter on any lens if the size is right, but if you're going to take close ups (im thinking macro?) it'll prob not work too well on a zoom tele due to low light.

there are specialised macro lenses, and other alternatives to take close ups.

a 75-300 should be 58mm.
 

thanks for that advice! haha but im still wondering how do you know a 75-300 shld be a 58mm?

Simple... even I'm a Nikon user also know how to search...

Canon Lenses

Just Google... and the specifications are all there on the web... :sweat:
 

Look for 'ø 58mm' on your lens somewhere around. That means the lens has a filter thread of diameter 58mm. Similarly if a lens has a 77mm filter thread diameter, you'll see 'ø 77mm' somewhere on the lens.
