I have to mount some special filter glass and need some 5...10 empty 52mm filter mounts. Any idea where to find it? (The option to buy cheap filters and remove the glass is too expensive and a waste...)

Thanks,,

B+W used to sell them - but you asked for a cheap solution, and special orders from B+W aren't...

UV and skylight filters grabbed off ebay are so much more affordable that you could even pay somebody to de-glass them.

I can ask in Ritz Camera. They had about 1 month ago many dark blue Tiffen filter (new) in price $1.49, in several diameter. Maybe 52mm last....

Thanks to our member hk300 (Alex), I now have what I need at an acceptable price also.

I think about to purchase cheap UV filters from Alex in bulk for transparent lens cap for storage. I recommen to use them to avoid fungus and dusts in storage.

Thanks, but a new ring with UV glass in it cost me just fractions of that...!!!
