eBay positive surprise

[frank]

I ordered a cheap 82mm UV filter from eBay, for the beautiful Nikkor 50 lens that I bought from darinwc on apug, for my Bronica S2a. It was bin for $6 or so. I wasn't expecting much of a quality filter, but when I opened the padded envelope today, there was a brand new, well-packed and retail-packaged Kenko filter, marked made in Japan.

Kenko is Hoya's non US brand. It's much cheaper from eBay, but they have the same higher end Hoya models.

You should be feeling guilty. Send him some more money!!!!!!!!!

It was a buy it now, Brian. I'll pay it forward.

I have a Kenko 2x converter for Hasselblad that gave me sharp portraits with the 80, before I got the 150.

I am fortunate, just not the silver spoon kind from that song.
