Hi all

Anyone bought a Hoya Pro1 72mm polarizer cheap recently? Already just bought the Pro1 UV from CameraKing for £32 inc delivery (pretty good I thought?) but they don't have the CPL in stock. Looking at ebay is very tempting......some as low as £43 compared to much more on Amazon (from Hong Kong though!) They can't ALL be fake..can they?

Anybody taken the cheap ebay plunge on one of these and been satisfied? :thinking:

Thanks

Dougie
 
Never tried ebay. Amazon is usually the cheapest alternative. I prefer the Hoya HD polariser - mainly because it only loses 1.2 stops of light compared to around 1.7 for the Pro-1.
 
I'd avoid ebay ones most of them seem to be fakes now

I've heard that the HD doesn't have a screwed front so you can't fit a normal lens cap? Is this right -if so, what do you use?

Hoya HD has a normal front screw thread. Other filters or lens cap fit just fine :)
 
I think B&W do stupidly thin filters with no front thread.
 
I got my 67mm Hoya Pro1 from Kerso for £19 so might be worth trying him for a price on a 72mm

You got a 67mm Pro1 polariser for £19? Or do you mean UV?
