That was quite old, and had started to delaminate; anyone know what it costs to get a new piece of polarizer fitted into such a mount? (I presume SRB will do it?) One problem with these gizmos; using a lens hood is inconvenient or impossible, due to the slightly oversized front, vignetting (doesn't work with a 35mm), and sheer clunkiness (especially with a 90mm). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- jack@purr.demon.co.uk - Jack Campin, 2 Haddington Place, Edinburgh EH7 4AE
