URGENT - 58mm filters

[kst]

Hi,

I'm getting my 300D today.

Assuming I'm getting HOYA, what is the expected price for :

1. 58mm UV filter
2. 58mm Cir Polarizer

I'm going to get it during lunch today and I don't want to get 'chop' for
the accessories.

Hence, any help will really be appreciated.

THANKS !

1. 58mm UV filter - Should be around $12
2. 58mm Cir Polarizer - Think $40 can get, or did I get it for $45? Hmmm... think is $40

BTW, if U attch the polarizer to the lens, no point attaching the UV filter also. The cheapo UV filter is more commonly used to protect your lens.

I intend to have the UV filter permanently there to protect the lens.

The polarizer will only be used as needed - hence I still need the UV filter
there all the time.

His price should be accurate. The two place I find which sold the cheapest Hoya filters is at Konata in Peninsula Plaza and TCW at Peninsula Shopping Centre.

Happy shopping .... Oh ... BTW, Konata and TCW might be the only place you can get 50mm MK II now, quite out of stock everywhere. TCW is selling it at $165, thus no point buying from them (they will tell you that too), I don't know how much is Konata selling, I only see him with stocks in his glass cabinet.
