I want to buy a number of these clear plastic filter cases - mostly 2" but some 1.25" as well.

These ones at the bottom of this page:-

http://www.clearvueoptics.com/ASSNE/filters.htm

I have several types and I think these are the best - compact and easy to open and close in the dark with gloved hands. Several other types I have are very hard to use and/or too big. I know these are hard plastic so they can be cracked or hinges/clip break - so I'll just buy a good stock and keep spares ($1-1.50 each - no sweat)

Anyone know of an Australian supplier?

If not, I'll get some quotes from this supplier - maybe others want to join me in an order?

Hi Erik.
I suggest a big Camera shop. They normally have a few floating about and some places have so many they give them away. Few people keep the cases for the UV filters they buy for their lenses.

Thanks Peter

I had thought that was a possibility. I'll check out the big city ones.

No luck with camera shops. I've ordered from ClearVue Optics. Thanks Eric

Thanks Keith. I checked - just two words "filter cases" buried on their website, unfortunately so I wouldn't have found them. Thanks for the local knowledge.

Nice bloke though.
