wilfredo Posted April 28, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted April 28, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Some of you might remember my terrible experience with this seller on E-bay from Germany: eBay: B+W Digital UV/IR Cut Sperrfilter 486 40,5mm 40,5 mm (item 7600910629 end time May-10-07 07:57:25 PDT) The B+W UVIR 486 cut filter I got had abrassions on it. It also took six weeks to get here, and I never got a refund. I finally ordered a replacement this week from Tony Rose (popflash.com). I got it in two days, for about $35.00 cheaper, and in perfectly brand new condition. Kudos to Tony Rose.

I bought a B+W UV/IR cut filter from Tony too and had the same, immediate shipping and reasonable price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannes Knightworth Posted April 28, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted April 28, 2007 It's a pity we don't have a "Tony Rose" in Europe. Despite the cheap $ price, import taxes are still killing the deal. Perhaps Mr. Rose will consider opening a European outlet, I do believe the market is available expecially for top quality retaillers .... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Kerr Posted April 28, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted April 28, 2007 PopFlash is great to do business with. I have purchased several times, including a nocti and WATE, and had great service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with sales tax (which is not ALWAYS collected on smaller things) he is cheaper and for some things, like filters, there are no local importers.  scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc_john Posted April 28, 2007 Share #8 Â Posted April 28, 2007 One more kudo for Tony Rose. I've bought and sold equipment through him; his service has always been perfect. He is honest and straightforward about the availability of his equipment.... and when he will probably get it (if it's not in stock). His shipping is quick and reliable.

mat_mcdermott Posted April 28, 2007 Share #11 Â Posted April 28, 2007 Since we're all giving Tony Rose a pat on the back, I will add one as well. I bought my M8 from him: the service was top notch, whoever I spoke with when I called was always knowledgable and helpful, and shipping was amazingly fast.

ron110n Posted April 28, 2007 Share #14 Â Posted April 28, 2007 Got my M7 and APO Cron 75mm ASPH from Tony. Both pick-up at his house in Thousand Oaks and of course a wonderful Leica M and F3HP chat with Tony. Not to mention his life in the Navy and his good times in Subic and Okinawa.
