So i decided that i want to get a Hoya R72 IR filter to try and dabble in a bit of IR photography. I've seen expensive filters before, buy my god, the jump in prices between different steps is INSANE... I wanted to get the 77mm and step up from the others.
I have three lenses right now for my D70;
Nikkor 50mm 1.8 (58mm)
Nikkor 18-200vr (72mm)
Tokina 12-24 (77mm)
The Hoya R72 filter prices on ebay are as follows;
58mm - ~$40 or less
72mm - ~ $75
77mm - ~ $140
Crazyness... Retail on the 77mm is INSANE, upwards of $250.... And i thought my B+W Kasemaan MRC 72mm Circular Polarizer for $120 was expensive...
