LPS filter - where???

I have a 40D (a beauty) and a nice EFS USM lens which takes a 67mm filter.

Where do I get a LPS filter?

Hutech don't make 67mm filters any more

The Hutech and Astronomik front end filters don't suit an EFS lens.

Is there an affordable alternative?

Pete

Hi Pete,
I have a 70-200mm f4L lens on my 40D with a 67mm diameter - I use a 72mm Hutech filter with a 67-72mm step up ring ($9 on ebay!!)
I would avoid the clip in front filter (even if you could use one!!) , I had heaps of trouble with the one I had...

I am very happy with the configuration I have now

Thanks Doug

I had a look at that - $450 at current exchange rates is a bit steep for my liking. But it does produce good results.

Yeah I know - I managed to get mine just before this financial mess for about $350AU, and I thought that was pricey!!!
Good luck
