Jason,
I'm curious why $15 for optical glass (filter) seems pricey to you? Seems
pretty reasonable, esp if it works.
You might check with Richard Bennett in LA, though I think if he has
anything it would be about the same price. He deals
more with ACME and Oxberry than JK.
Or try Edmund Optics (in New Jersey), though I'd guess they would be higher
in price as well.
Have you checked with Man-sung in Chicago? I just spoke to him a few days
ago and he said he is going through all of
his filter inventory and ready to make deals.
