Guys - where do you generally buy your glass? I'm going to get my wife a new lens for our anniv and was wondering where online you find your deals.
TIA.

Its run by Jews and since SS hates Jews that might not be the best place for him to buy from.binary visions said:

what are you looking at, SS?
Not only Jews, it's run by SUPER JEWS. I wish I had as many holidays as them. The flipside is that their pricing is fantastic and almost always have what you need in stock.DRB said:

Do you use any particular glass filter for protection? Are they pretty much one and the same or are there better and worse ones?BAH said:
I don't. Personally I think it is silly to buy a nice expensive lens and then plop a 20 piece of glass on the front of itSkaredShtles said:
Depends on your needs though. I treat my equipment better than I would my kid(if I had one) so I don't really have to worry about the lens getting touched. Some dudes are pretty hard on their gear though so it might be worth it for them? If you are after the best image possible though, I would avoid them...
Ah, crap. I think I'll get one since I'm pretty sure we're not particularly kind to our gear. Our lens gets touched all the time by our 3 kids.BAH said:I don't. Personally I think it is silly to buy a nice expensive lens and then plop a 20 piece of glass on the front of it
I hear that www.priceritephoto.com has some great deals...SkaredShtles said:I'll buy from anyone who sells at a good price.
Something multi-coated from a good manufacturer will give you the best image quality. The coatings will cut down on the amount of flare the filter will generate.SkaredShtles said:Ah, crap.

May as well have the kids be rubbing their grimey fingers on that $20-30 piece of glass instead of the expensive lens
BAH, do you not use polarizing filters at all?
i suppose that direct, bright sunlight is a bit of an aberration up there, eh?

B&W filters are the best filters out there, or for something a little cheaper look at the Hoya ultra thin ones. As for B&H as well as Adorama, I will never shop at either, ever. I get the same prices from Roberts Distributers, and they will deliver on time, they will even ship same day air if need be. Yes to answer your question I have had them ship me a Camera in Hawaii, ordered it and 10 hours later it was there.
B&H is great, I tried adorama, cuz they were open 1 extra day cuz there jews too. and after a week saying that my credit card didnt go through (and it had already been charged to my card) I went to B&H where I have bought all of my gear and got it in no time
huh, i am two for two w/ adorama...1st was via Amazon, and the 2nd time i tried B&H but their automated shopping cart system was out of order, so i went to adorama. same price, got my lens to me a day earlier than they said they would.
I used my paypal virtual credit card, I think thats what screwed it up.
