Anybody know where I might get Hitech filters in Australia. Unhappy with Cokin GradND and Lee are a bit $$ for me. Unless you know somebody that will buy my photos :)

I'm also interested in Hitech filters aswell. They look pretty good from the results I've seen from a few landscape photographers.

I would check the conversion from English pounds to Aus Dollars ???? when I was there, pound=2.4 aus dollars.......
Edit: if you use a credit there is also another 3 percent CC fee ......

Hi,

I would like to get these Hitech filters as well. If you want to share the shipping cost, I'm happy to order a few extras. I would then bring them to the Christmas dinner for you, just pay me then or have someone pick them up. I don't want to ship them as it defeats the purpose of saving the shipping costs :roll:

If interested, just PM me. First TWO to PM me can join in. So for a set of ND grads like hlop, it's about $70, plus your share of shipping.

Cheers,

Radar
