I think you need to lower your quality demands, especially for something
like a step-up ring! Just glancing at B&H, they have used General Brand
46-49mm for $3 (new is $5.95). I picked up nearly the equivalent at
Glazer's in Seattle (Dot Line Corp.) for around $6 and it is a very nice
product.

When did little hinky things like step-up rings get so expensive? I've got
about every 49mm filter there is because of all the little 49mm filter
Zuikos,
but the Summilux 50/2 wants 46mm filters, so, not willing to buy a new
bunch of
filters, I ordered a 46-49mm B+W step-up ring from B&H: $19.95!
Plus $3.70 slow USPS shipping. I'm in no hurry. Ain't going nowhere much
right
now.
And I'd forgotten what a PITA it is to use a polarizer on a rangefinder;
something to learn how to do again all over. But RFs have got other
advantages,
like ease of focusing in dark places and being quiet and virtually
vibration-free with no flapping mirrors, diaphragm shut-down mechanisms
and
such. :-)
