486's e39mm

[TJV]

Hey,
anyone out there got any leads on some 39mm 486's? I'm in desperate need of one. I need to get a large project out by mid Feb and the M8 would be the best tool if I had the filter. I've emailed Tony Rose at Popflash. Any other ideas?

Also, can someone please post a variety of samples using both 486 filter and a 28mm f2.8? I'm curious to see if the cyan drist is a worry in normal shooting pre firmware 1.10.

Cheers,
Tim

You should be able to receive 2 free filters from Leitz.

Yeah - but when?

I don't know how long it takes after you register your camera. We'll see.

Actually just received an email from Leitz, the filters I requested won't be avaiable until February 7.

I'm interpreting their Erwinese (whoops, the cat's out of the bag) way of conjugating verbs and making tenses agree with nouns, that it means that they won't have the filters until February 7th. Add sorting, shipping and transit time...

I just bought the chrome version of the B+W filters from Adorama on Saturday. They emailed me on Sunday saying they were backordered, but then shipped on Monday, received yesterday. I would have preferred black, but chrome will do.

Drat! Got an E-mail back from Tony thismorning to say he had one then went to order it and it's gone! He said he'd keep me posted...

I ordered a pile of them last week from SHPhoto. Just arrived.

They apparently have them in stock in most filter sizes.
