blovitch Posted November 27, 2006 Share #1 Posted November 27, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have spent a fruitless day hunting down 486 Filters in Leica sizes.... One UK supplier I spoke to said they were not expecting deliveries until the New Year and most of that allocation was allready sold !!! Can anyone tell me if they know where I can track down 49mm. 52mm, and 55mm filters I will be very grateful...I may even consider a swap for a spare battery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

atufte Posted November 27, 2006 Share #4 Posted November 27, 2006 I'm looking for a B+W 486 for my pre-asph 35/2, filter dimension 39mm, anyone have any tips for this aswell...? Thanks in advance... :-) Best Regards Alexander Tufte http://www.alexandertufte.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted November 27, 2006 Share #5 Posted November 27, 2006 Tim, be warned that Oege-Energy (the supplier in Guy's link) may not actually have stock of the filters - despite what the auction listing may say. I bought a couple of 486 filters in E46 size nearly three weeks ago via their eBay auction and they have yet to ship them. I queried this and was told "the B & W company told us, that they have delivery problems with some filters. Please be a little bit patient, we will sent the item asap." I doubt that that they will get stock any quicker than other suppliers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflachmann Posted November 27, 2006 Share #6 Posted November 27, 2006 I good source in Germany for B+W filters is Foto Huppert. I have ordered one UV/ IR-Cut 486 39 mm screw-in-typ suitable for my Summicron-M 50 mm and the new Elmarit-M 28 mm two weeks ago. It arrived last friday. I am not sure if they accept customers from outside Germany. Maybe it's worth a try. eMail: info@foto-huppert.de Web (German only): http://www.foto-huppert.de/ Jens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even to Israel, which is often difficult. Now we'll see if the order goes through and how backlogged they have become. But their prices are quite low, compared to some of the prices I have heard quoted in the US. scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsteve Posted November 27, 2006 Share #9 Posted November 27, 2006 I ordered 49mm and 55mm filters from this ebay merchant. They came by airmail the first of last week, about a week after I ordered them. As mentioned above, you may want to confirm they have them in stock. eBay: B+W UV/IR Cut 486 55 mm Filter NEUWARE!!!

gogopix Posted November 27, 2006 Share #10 Posted November 27, 2006 FotoHubert sent me an email saying thefilters were being made by B+W in december. I ordered 60mm (quite rare) so I don't know if the others are still available Also, I ordered, 39, 46 and 55 from Tony at PopPhoto(?) and he said a week ago last thursday, but no see yet maybe time for a call. regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
max0442 Posted November 28, 2006 Share #11 Posted November 28, 2006 I ordered a B+W 486 55mm from Amazon on Nov. 10 & it finally arrived today from their partner, with the invoice specifing the filter as ordered, but they shipped a Heliopan ES instead!! Looks like the B+W 486s are scarce & the partner thinks we have no choice but to take anything. We will see! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the B+W 486s are scarce & the partner thinks we have no choice but to take anything. We will see! Curious, I just had the same problem with Amazon, this time Amazon.de. They shipped me a filter in a box labelled B&W 486 chrom52. It was a 52mm, all right. but the filter inside was a B&W 010 UV skylight filter. (worth a lot less!). Understanding the instructions for returns in German is a learning experience. This one came from Amazon itself, not from a partner. scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blovitch Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share #13 Posted November 28, 2006 Thanks for all the advice. I have bought and paid for one of the filters I need from the ebayer Guy found. Following the advice of other members I emailed first to check he was holding stock, and it looks promising so far..... Thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if someone out there is buying expensive filters from Amazon, and returning cheap ones! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJL Posted November 28, 2006 Share #16 Posted November 28, 2006 Good idea to get a confirmation on stock on hand. I ordered a B+W from B&H two weeks ago and got it three days later. Ordered another from Adorama the same day, still do not have it, despite assurances that it was shipped. LJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott kirkpatrick Posted November 29, 2006 Share #18 Posted November 29, 2006 To clairify in my case, the Heliopan filter was in a Heliopan plastic case. That's even less excusable. You apparently dealt with an Amazon partner, while I got one of the 3 filters originally listed as in stock at Amazon.de itself, before the filter frenzy started. I wonder what the other two buyers received? Some sort of return confusion might be involved, as the box and the sticker with barcode on the outside said 486, but inside was clearly an 010. I think I'll just get my money back, and deal with Foto_Huppert in the future. scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
