I can buy both Series and 60mm Tiffen filters from my camera store, off the
shelf, even in a small town like Roanoke.  If I wish Heliopan or B+W, there
is normally a delay of three or four days.  If I wish H&H, it may take a
week.  There really isn't a long delay nor great inconvenience in obtaining
these guys.  There are large filter companies in the US that will
overnight-express these filters to you from virtually any manufacturer.
