Due to the large number of requests for the filter price list and info, I'll post this text version for now, and you can look at a
couple of the nice Hoya filter boxes above until I photograph and scan all the different filters.
I'm sorry that the nice table formatting on the price list disappeared when I crudely pasted it into the HTML page. I've been
working on other parts of the website, but will make this section more user-friendly soon!
I've slightly modified the discount structure from previous lists, and will DEFINITELY do so again to simplify things and
encourage large orders. I've been spending an inordinate amount of time dealing with small filter orders, which is difficult to
justify time-wise. But for now, this is the price list, with no minimum order.
Price List, 2" eyepiece filters
--------------- 2" eyepiece filter information and prices -------------------
I have a large number of 2" eyepiece filters in stock.
They are "new old stock" in the screw cases,
with little instruction booklet, in the original boxes.
Add up the filters you want, then take the following discount:
up to $60, take 10% off
$61 to $160, take 25% off
$161 and up, take 40% off
All of the filters are Hoya brand except a choice of brands for polarizers.
All of the filters, except polarizers, are either regular ("double") coated
or HMC multicoated. Both brands of polarizers are uncoated for technical
reasons.
All have the standard 48mm thread for modern threaded 2" eyepieces,
diagonals, and 2"-1.25" adapters.
Below is the list of filter types, pre-MAPUG-discount prices, and suggested
uses.

Pick out what you want, then email me. I'll confirm that I have what you
want, that I can find it in my jumble of filter crates, and get back to you
with price, payment, and shipping info. Shipping/handling runs from $2 for
1 or 2 filters uninsured in a padded envelope, to $7 for a dozen filters in a
box insured for $100.
Please email me at one the address below with any questions or to place an order.
