I've mentioned this before. Heliopan is a preferable way to go if you 
can stand ordering from Europe. The 60mm filter (UV/IR cut, #8025) is 
about $90US. Shipping would run around $25; not much more if you 
order a couple. You could get them in about 10 days anywhere, as long 
as the factory/distributor has them in stock. Quality is certainly on 
par with B+W, and they fit with the lens hood.

Prices (approx.) for other sizes:

39mm - $55
46mm - $60
55mm - $85
77mm - $150

I've bought Heliopan before, and won't get B+W unless I need one 
immediately and my store has them in stock. They hardly ever have 
Heliopan in stock.

For me ordering from a foreign country is no big deal. I often order 
from the US.
