Where to buy 42mm filter?

[Drudkh]

I need a 42mm polariser filter for my 300mm, which is an internal screw on attachment. Browsed the Hoya website and the smallest filter size is 52mm. Is there any other brands available in this size?

I have a friend going to JPN. I can try to ask him to get for you. I do have one bought in JPN. I use it for my 400mm. You need ot buy the one which is dedicated as you need to turn the polariser via a coupling form the outside.

how to turn from the outside? still need to take out drop-in attachment and turn the cir-pol filter right?

I'm going to try TCW later, but doubt they have.

I vae gone through every possible shop here in SGP for the filter- but in vain. You no need to take out the filter to turn the polariser. Its coupled by a turning dial from the outside surface. Its made by KM.

It cost about $300SGD ~$350SGD.
