(Someone correct me if I am wrong). HMC and higher ones willl be stated on the ring of the filter. (For example, HOYA HMC 77mm). If there is nothing stated about HMC, it should be the standard one.
I told them that it shouldnt cost so much i see people post the price here.When i ask how come others can get it cheaper i got an explanation that others could have bought camera from them at a higher price so they sold the filters to them at a lower price.Sensible?;( End up i still paid $25

I also always kanna such things. Cant help it. Lolz.
Since we are on the topic of filter about HMC, I hope streetpumpkin dont mind i ask a question.
Do you all find a big jump between HMC, Super HMC and Standard UV filters?

What utter nonsense. Should have held out and bought from someone else. Sounds like those sales scams at Sim Lim... sell u the processor and motherboard at low price but force you to buy a casing as part of the bundle at a ridiculously high price.
Next he'll say if you're a pretty young chick you'll get special discount...spikey hair BMT recruit charge you 10% premium.
Alan Photo issit? Will make a note not to deal with them.

lolz~~~!!!... nice way of putting things...:bsmilie:
kinda agree with you though. especially the sim lim part.:bigeyes:
when you dunno stuff.... salesman always target that weakness....
hoya
even hmc
is not high end
hasselblad, leica, contax, B+W, Lee
filters
are high end
a hasselblad polarising filter can cost $300+ (that was 10 years ago, now I do not know.. maybe $500+)
same for B+W Kasselmann 67mm polarising filter
Lee filters are professional grade cost, a bomb.
the simlim salesman did not con you
he merely sold it more expensively to you
it was willing buyer willing seller
i can accept his explanation that if you buy a costly item from him, say a camera, then he can sell the filter cheaper.
you can choose not to buy from him
generally if you want serious photo stuff at proper prices
avoid simlim square

Agree with the fact that AlanPhoto overcharge.
Got a Hoya UV filter for $12 (after bargaining from $15), then found out a few days later that it only costs $8 at TK photo!
Btw, may i ask what's the acceptable price of a 67mm cir polarizer?
