I was in the market yesterday for a 77mm cir. polarizer yesterday, and I
looked at those. I probably should have gone for it, but ended up ordering
this slightly used Tiffen one instead, # 300056784599. It's not in the same
league, I know.
However, I did try ordering a different cheaper item from a Hong Kong
seller, # 110064204636.
Everyone has to get burned sometime on that site, so I figure I may as well
get my turn in.
