Thanks bro. Bought at MS Color (AMK Hub) for $940 with free 77mm emolux UV filter. Asked TK Photo and they quoted me $930. Reason i bought from MS was i stayed in the north, much nearer for me.

Oh thanks and now tk photo is abit cheaper,
Jus got a mail from cp selling at 925 without gst faint nearly 990.

I use both, because it's 77mm,it's a pretty standard size.
For CPL, of course need screw in type
For ND filters, you can always use slot in type from Lee to cheap Tianya ones.
On a crop sensor, at 11mm, you will see a little vignetting with a single slot in filter. at 12mm and above, it's gone.
For screw type filters, i have managed to screw 3 filters on with no vignetting at 11mm, all 3 slim filter UV+CPL+ND110

There are CPL for square filter brackets too. And as for the vignette, just use 100mm filters with the respective filter holder from lee, corkin or hitech. No more vignette at 11mm. A word of warning, it's not cheap...

Sorry to hear that.

Fungus is not covered under any kind of warranty.

Pricing wise, really depends on the amount of work required and you can probably get a quote only after the repair person takes a look at it.

Agent for Tokina in Singapore is Cathay Photo. Give them a call to ask where to send it in.

If you do not mind other repair options, you can try bro Fatigue, camera hospital, camera consultant.

U can try P&G, should be around $60-$80 if I am not mistaken.
