if this is really the filter you wanted (aside from rattling), just fix it. it takes 1 minute, at most, if i understand correctly the problem.
basically, the retaining ring that holds the glass in place is lose, you can tighten it up and the filter is gonna be like new. i got one like that from adorama a couple of weeks ago (b&w, "ex"), and did it with two screwdrivers (kinda like inprovised spanner wrench, since i don't have one). best, mishka On 7/5/05, Boris Liberman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi! > > I bought a 52 mm Pentax Ghostless UV filter off eBay for $20 including > shipping to Israel.
