York Optical are...I better not say. They have none in stock. When I went into the store a few weeks ago I was told that they won't place an order unless they have a minimum of $500...given that they retail for $120, their wholesale price is probably $60-80. That would mean that they'd need at least 8 or 9 people ordering these filters in total before they'd place an order. That could take months! In the end, I decided to buy directly from Seymor Solar via their EBay shop. A bit more expensive, but I got it. As an aside, Steve @ Seymour Solar told me that York Optical had placed an order for a variety of solar filters. So, York Optical either fulfilled that $500 very quickly, are lying, or, don't know what they're talking about.
Said package arrived very quickly, and was very well packed. The filter looks great as well. I haven't (obviously) used it yet. Will report back later with some images of Sol (weather permitting) - probably on the weekend!
